This Saturday, the Leonese PP will hold an executive committee in which Muñoz will seek the support of his party colleagues before “this exciting stage” which represents the “final stretch” towards the municipal elections in May 2023.
In the Executive Committee held this afternoon, the current delegate of the Junta in León sent the party a “message of unity” and of “looking forward”, while indicating that she was in favor of “talking about the ideas and problems of the people of Leon”, as stated by Ester Muñoz herself after the meeting with the training officers.
“I alone can’t do it. I need everyone”, he underlined referring to the Popular Party of León, which, as he said, “is the party of the province”. “That’s what I’m going to do from Saturday,” said Muñoz, who will go to that executive committee intending to win the support of his party mates.
Furthermore, in the committee this afternoon, the president of the popular party of León for the past 15 months, Javier Santiago Vélez, argued for the decision to resign from his office, citing his new responsibilities in the Senate. Vélez is also mayor of the Municipality of Almanza.
“He wants to devote more time to his family and to his new responsibilities. I can’t help but respect that”, explained Muñoz, who specified that he had not spoken so far with the president of the judicial proceeding opened for an alleged trial of irregular affiliations before the primaries in which he obtained the presidency of the Leonese PP against the mayor of Villaquilambre, Manuel García.
INTEGRATION
“I try not to talk about judicial issues,” said the current candidate for the leadership of the Popular Party of León, referring to García’s complaint which has crystallized in a judicial process that will have its first date in court next February . As for the future within the party of the complainant in this trial, Manuel García, Ester Muñoz assured that the PP is “a very broad party” in which “all” those who “want to work” join.
“The opponent is the PSOE, just see how this province is doing. With a central government that forgets about León, with a Provincial Council that forgets about the municipalities. A PSOE that is only interested in keeping its members”, Muñoz criticized.
