The PSOE of Lanzarote launched this Saturday "The strength of the people" with a public campaign launch event at the Valterra Sociocultural Center, in Arrecife, supported by militants and sympathizers. The meeting brought together the Secretary General of the PSOE of Canarias, Ángel Víctor Torres; the insular Secretary General and candidate for Congress for the province of Las Palmas, María Dolores Corujo; and the senator for Lanzarote and candidate to revalidate his seat, Manuel Fajardo Palarea.
During his speech, Ángel Víctor Torres called to face the elections of November 29 with the awareness that the rights conquered and the direction of the country are at stake. "We are risking continuing to advance, protecting coexistence and consolidating a Spain that offers more opportunities. Behind every social conquest is the effort of many people and it needs a majority to defend it," he stated.
The Secretary General of the PSOE of Canarias appealed to turn that commitment into a great electoral mobilization. "We need to reach 75% participation and a majority of 176 seats to continue advancing with Pedro Sánchez. The strength of the PSOE is in its people and now we have to take that strength to the polls," he pointed out.
For her part, María Dolores Corujo launched a call for participation: "We need a historic mobilization to continue advancing. The future is not written and something as essential as the right to housing is at stake."
The candidate for Congress placed access to a home as a political priority and defended the need to act with determination. "The next legislature must be the housing legislature, to intervene to guarantee that people can access a home. We must be brave and put institutions at the service of those who today cannot become independent or live where they have built their lives," she affirmed.
Corujo also directed a message to women: "We are risking the right to decide and to be seen and treated as equals. Socialist women know what we are talking about, because we know the effort it has taken to conquer each right and the responsibility we have to defend them."
Corujo closed her speech with a message of confidence and support for the President of the Government: "We are going to win. We are with you, Pedro Sánchez."
The senator for Lanzarote and candidate to revalidate his seat, Manuel Fajardo Palarea, underlined the significance of the electoral call. "All elections are important, but in these we are especially playing for democracy, coexistence, and the continuity of policies that put people at the center. Lanzarote and La Graciosa have a lot to say and a lot to defend on November 29," he expressed.
Fajardo Palarea defended the importance of both islands having representation that brings their needs to the State institutions. "I want to continue defending a strong voice for Lanzarote and La Graciosa, committed to their public services, to access to housing, and to the opportunities of our people. To do so, we need to unite, mobilize, and turn that collective strength into votes," he added.
The event was opened by Alfredo Mendoza, who welcomed the attendees and highlighted that Lanzarote is once again leading the candidacy for Congress for the province of Las Palmas, led by María Dolores Corujo. "It is a pride and a responsibility that a colleague from this island leads our candidacy. It is an opportunity for the needs of Lanzarote and La Graciosa to have a committed voice, with experience and the ability to defend them," he stressed.
Mendoza also claimed the role of militancy as the engine of the campaign and encouraged taking the socialist message to every municipality, every street, and every conversation. The meeting in Valterra thus marked the beginning of a campaign that the PSOE of Lanzarote faces with a call for participation and collective commitment to continue advancing with "The strength of the people."
