"I don't know very well how or why, I ended up registering my candidacy to head the electoral list of Podemos Canarias to the City Council of San Bartolomé". This is how Yurena Corujo has announced on her social networks her participation in the party's primaries, three months after having resigned from her position as advisor in the Cabildo.
"I never thought I would dare to do something like this because they have made politics so unpleasant and uncomfortable that it is dizzying. They have transformed it into a minefield so that normal people run away from it. But that is precisely why we must stand up. In the institutions, decisions are made daily that condition our lives in all aspects. That these decisions are not made without us, without normal people, is the objective", says the candidate.
It should be remembered that when she resigned from her position in the Cabildo -due to the management that the two Podemos councilors made of the crisis that ended with the dismissal of Elena Solís-, Yurena Corujo made it clear that she would continue working "with loyalty within the organization". In fact, she continued as Secretary of Communication in the autonomous executive of Podemos.
At that time she stated that her colleagues from Podemos Lanzarote knew her reasons, but she did not want to "continue delving into the conflict" with statements. Now, she returns to the front line, aspiring to head the party's list in San Bartolomé.
