The PSOE has conveyed its condolences for the loss of former socialist mayor José María Espino González. "A personal, close, and affable reference point, qualities for which he stood out professionally in his extensive teaching experience, in places like Mácher or Arrecife, leaving El Maestro an indelible memory in all his students for his dedication." This is how the local secretary of the party committee in Arrecife, Alfredo Mendoza, referred to the former socialist.
"Characteristics that underpinned his political work and enabled the promotion of a city project that consolidated the foundations of the current Arrecife with milestones as relevant as the approval of the Arrecife General Plan of 1991; with the Neighborhood Plan to adequately equip them, for example with the arrival of light and water to all of them and the sewage system; the creation of socio-cultural centers; the educational commitment with the expansion of existing schools and newly created educational centers; the construction of the Youth Center or the works of one of the axes that support the mobility of the capital, such as La Medular," added the PSOE.
