Minister Puente asks for “the highest participation to achieve change” in Castilla y León
The Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente (PSOE), has wished for “the highest participation” in the regional elections being held this Sunday in Castilla y León so that there is “a change” after almost forty years of PP government.
In statements to journalists after voting at a polling station in Valladolid, Puente valued “this wonderful routine” which in his opinion represents “the democratic right to vote and choose a future” and highlighted the normality “of a country that lives in freedom.”
“That you have the right to choose and decide and to exercise that right as we have done today and as we have been doing for almost five decades, which always has to be a reason for celebration because it was not always like that,” he noted.
For her part, the head of the PSOE list for Valladolid, Patricia Gómez, has encouraged all Castilians and Leonese to leave “their homes today and go vote because” the future of the Community must be in their hands: “Today everyone is voting, and above all, everyone is at stake,” she added in statements to journalists.
Minutes earlier, a Vox representative addressed Minister Puente after he voted shouting “resignation” and was reprimanded by the socialist representatives: “You have to know how to carry your credentials.” (Efe)
