The Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) has achieved a resounding victory in the municipal elections in Herencia, obtaining an absolute majority with 8 out of 13 town councilors. With this result, Sergio García-Navas, the mayor of the town, revalidates his position and prepares to start his third term in charge of the council.
“We are very happy because the people of Herencia have given us the absolute majority again,” said García-Navas after learning the results. The mayor, who highlighted the effort made to deal with unexpected problems such as the pandemic and the Filomena storm, considered this support as a demonstration that “people like what we do and that we will continue to do it.”
The PSOE obtained 8 councilors compared to 4 for the Popular Party and 1 for Vox, which enters the Herencia City Council for the first time. García-Navas emphasized that the PSOE had carried out a “fair play campaign and very close to the people,” which, in his opinion, was recognized by citizens at the polls.
Regarding Vox’s entry into the council, García-Navas expressed his “pain” and “disappointment” for the presence of the far-right, but affirmed that they will move forward with their political program, despite the uncertainty about the “degree of tension” that may exist.
However, the happiness of the Herencia socialists was not complete, as they could not keep the Provincial Council of Ciudad Real. “From there, we will have to play other cards, but we will try to carry out the entire electoral program,” said García-Navas, thus marking the path to follow in his new term, which will officially begin on June 17.
