“Feijóo focused for 13 years on controlling political marketing to make it look like he was doing something”

Valentín González Formoso (As Pontes, 1971), mayor of As Pontes since 2007 and president of the Diputación de A Coruña since 2015 it is General Secretary of the PSdeG since the end of 2021after beating Gonzalo Caballero in the party’s primaries with almost 60% of the votes . He explains that he “took the step” because he and his team believe they have the formula to transfer to the Galician area the citizen support that has made the majority of the population lives in towns and cities with a socialist mayor’s office. Formoso receives Praza.gal at the party’s national headquarters, where in recent weeks he has had the first contacts with various groups. From there he observes the beginning of a new political cycle in Galicia with the departure of Alberto Núñez Feijóo and reiterates his will to be the PSdeG’s candidate for the Presidency of the Xunta. He claims to see his formation in a position to “lead” change and overthrow a PP government that, for thirteen years, “focused on controlling political marketing to make it look like it was doing instead of doing it.”
