Jesús Machín has announced that he will run again for Mayor of the Tinajo City Council in the 2015 elections, since he feels "comfortable and happy" in this role. He will do it as long as "his people" give him the necessary support. "When I do a survey and it says that my people don't support me, I will take a step back. In the meantime, I will continue forward and I speak clearly so that everyone can hear me," he said this Tuesday on Radio Lanzarote-Onda Cero.
Machín, who currently does not hold any "important" organic position in the Canarian Coalition, although he is the honorary president of the party in Lanzarote, has insisted that he wants to "focus" and "work for the people."
Asked if the president of the Government of the Canary Islands, Paulino Rivero, wants to run for office again, Machín said "the same" as him. "That's what I can say," he limited himself to answering. "If I think I'm happy and excited, I interpret that he is too," he stated.
The mayor of Tinajo has just been with Rivero, since the president was the town crier of the festivities in honor of the Virgen de Los Dolores. However, in the conversations they have had, they have talked "about many things, but it was not appropriate to talk about Rivero's candidacy now."
"I don't think it's appropriate. It's time to talk about solving the problems of citizens. I told him about requests and claims that I have for the municipality of Tinajo, which I reserve," said the mayor.
