Echedey Eugenio, current spokesperson for the Canarian Coalition in the Arrecife City Council, presented this Friday afternoon his candidacy to lead the list of the nationalist formation to the capital's Consistory for the electoral elections of May 2023.
This is the only candidacy presented at the end of the deadline to do so, this Friday, May 3, but there is still one more step to proclaim Eugenio as the official candidate. According to the party's regulations, his proposal must still be voted on and endorsed by the Local Assembly, whose members are convened for this purpose on June 10 in an act that will be held in the Municipal Market, and which will be attended by different public and organic officials, both insular and national.
After the approval of the Local Assembly, and strictly following the established process, the proposal will be submitted for approval to the Insular Political Council and it will be the National Political Council that finally ratifies it.
"We want to be totally transparent in the procedure," says local secretary Jacobo Lemes, who recalls that any affiliated or militant person, as long as they met the statutory, affiliation and economic requirements, could have submitted their candidacy within the established deadline.
He also recalls that behind a candidate there is a whole team that is already working with enthusiasm to regain the support of all citizens. A support that, as will be recalled, granted in 2019 and with Echedey Eugenio at the head of the candidacy of the nationalist formation, a total of nine representatives in the Arrecife City Council.
"If in 2019 we got nine councilors, now we can achieve an absolute majority. We have to win the capital with the sole objective of improving it and that the people who live in it finally feel proud," says the secretary of the Local Committee of CC in Arrecife, Jacobo Lemes.
