Faced with doubts and rumors, concrete data. Ciudadanos seeks to appease the trickle of departures in recent times and the uncertainty predicted by the polls by taking electoral muscle: the Liberals, in figures similar to those of 2015, will present lists for the municipal elections in 800 localities, including all the capitals of province.
In this way, as determined this Monday by Adrián Vázquez, general secretary of the oranges, around 80% of Spaniards will have the option of voting for Ciudadanos in their municipality on May 28, proof of the resurgence of the formation after its process of refoundation. In the ranks of the party, in fact, they celebrate that up to 15,000 people will be part of the liberal lists in just one month.
“We are presenting ourselves to be decisive in the future of the transformation of Spain,” said Vázquez, without specifying the electoral objective of Ciudadanos on May 28. Sources from the party leadership do point out that they have good feelings in places like Córdoba, Alicante, the Balearic Islands, Ciudad Real or Madrid, among other points of geography, and they cling to the upturn that the polls have shown since December, although still very far from achieve representation in many regions and mayoralties where today Ciudadanos does have a strong weight.
“There is going to be a clean, reformist, center-liberal party. The only alternative capable of leading a party of progress and freedom,” said the leader of the formation, Patricia Guasp, who celebrated that the presentation of the lists is a push to “reinforce and broaden the space of the liberal center” in our country.
Ciudadanos is now preparing for the final stretch of the race to the polls and will combine its thematic events -it has already held one for families and another for housing, and is now preparing another for birth- with the electoral campaign, which will open in the Balearic Islands and close in a great act in Madrid.
