After the celebration of the local elections on Sunday, May 26, the General Secretary of Podemos-Cieza, Piedad Abellán, in a press release, wanted to "give heartfelt thanks to each and every one of the voters who have deposited his confidence in the women and men of En Cieza Podemos ".
For Piedad, "each of these votes has been a solidary vote and for social justice, a vote for a Cieza transformed, inhabitable and inhabited in the key of urban and environmental sustainability, for that reason, I transmit on behalf of this party 717 personal acknowledgments and sincere and I want all these people to know that their option does not fall into a broken bag, that their confidence and encouragement are the engine of a renewed We can project that is born today and will grow towards the future: participation, real democracy and the equal dignity of all people continue to be aspirations that are worth fighting for and working for ".
In the words of the Secretary General of Podemos-Cieza, the electoral result of this training "has not been, of course, the expected, it is a bad result and hot cloths do not fit."
In the opinion of Piedad Abellán, "a significant decrease in votes and the unfair electoral barrier of 5% have left Podemos without representation in the Plenary for the next four years, but not without force, nor disappeared from political life; Podemos will be present during the next corporation in society and in the politics of Cieza, because it is still an essential political space ".
On the other hand, "the construction of a new project for a new stage can only start from self-criticism".
Therefore, "it is not about looking for guilty parties, or diverting responsibilities to spheres of action outside the municipal sphere, doing so would be irresponsible, because in a democracy the votes are not interpreted, they are only counted".
Citizens in Cieza "have evaluated the action of a government in which Podemos Cieza has been one of the partners, on the one hand, and, on the other, the political project presented to the political community."
It seems clear "that the merit of the successes of the government has been profited only by the PSOE, given the clear decrease in votes of the other two partners of government."
In the opinion of Piedad Abellán, "the work of the councilors of Podemos has been extraordinary in their areas of action, but there has been an obvious problem of visibility, and it is obvious that the approach of the campaign has not been the most appropriate, given the results, we learn from all this for the future. "
Finally, from Podemos-Cieza has also wanted to "congratulate all the groups that have obtained representation in the new incoming Corporation, without any exclusion, because they all represent Cieza and its people, are elected by the people and by This simple fact deserves respect and consideration. "
Consequently, "we wish you all the best in this journey and that you are able to contribute ideas, disagree with intelligence and without excesses and agree, when possible, measures of progress for the people: that they are definitely up to the task of the mandate received. "
And a recommendation in particular to the socialist councilors, "who have a tremendous responsibility, from now on, to govern from the ideas of the left, so that Cieza advances through a path of real change that has only begun to walk and that is for the most part to go. "
