The president of the Popular Party of Lanzarote, Astrid Pérez, presented this Monday Kiko Aparicio as the party's candidate for Mayor of Tías for the local elections on May 28. Pérez has shown her conviction that Kiko Aparicio “is the ideal person to put the Popular Party back at the head of the municipal government as a guarantee of good management.”
“Kiko is endorsed, in addition to his personal commitment to his municipality and its residents, by the magnificent management he carried out during the two governments of the Popular Party in Tías with Pancho Hernández. A team work and a dedication and commitment to the public that citizens endorsed by turning the PP team into the most voted force in the past elections,” the leader of the Populars wanted to remember.
In this sense, Pérez has highlighted Aparicio's work in the councilorships, among others, of Sports, Festivities, Cleaning, Gardens and Solid Waste Management, areas in which he “marked a before and after.” To these municipal responsibilities, the now candidate for Mayor “also adds the work carried out during the current term as a councilor of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and La Graciosa” in the area of Sports and the Insular Security and Emergencies Consortium, an organization that played an exemplary and fundamental role in the management of the pandemic, and that “allowed citizens to visualize something that many already knew; his total dedication, day and night, 24 hours to whoever needs it.”
“Kiko Aparicio has demonstrated his worth in each and every one of his public responsibilities, which gives him the experience and the drive that Tias needs to recover these four lost years,” he highlighted.
For his part, the candidate for Mayor thanked the president and the party for their support in leading “the candidacy that will rescue Tias from the past and open it to new times.” “I know the needs of the municipality and I have enough political experience to face this challenge,” said Aparicio, who recognizes that during the time of management in the Cabildo during the pandemic “has been the best political master's degree to know what we have and what we must improve to create a fairer municipality with happier residents.”
He stressed that “a new generation of politicians is needed who, from experience, work to modernize the municipality and put the infrastructure and services at the level that residents need and deserve.”
Aparicio stated that “Tías needs to recover the leadership lost with the socialist government,” and stressed that his goal is “to turn the municipality into a benchmark of economic and tourist prominence, new public investments and great cultural, sports and social activities.”
In this sense, he pointed out that “we cannot continue with the same facilities as when we had half the population and the only way to avoid injustices and imbalances in the municipality is by providing it with the means so that citizens can interact in public spaces according to the moment we live in and at the height of the type of tourist that Lanzarote is betting on.”
