In a Municipal Auditorium packed to the brim, Josefa Mesa, general secretary of the socialist party of Guía de Isora, presented this Monday May 1st her candidacy and that of her team for the next municipal elections.
Mesa was accompanied by the Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Héctor Gómez; the president of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Pedro Martín; the president of the Socialist Group in the Parliament of the Canary Islands, as well as other deputies of the autonomous chamber and Tenerife councilors.
That Guía de Isora is a reference in many ways is something that the three political representatives who preceded Josefa Mesa in her speech agreed on. The Isorana councilor and candidate for mayor made it clear that Guía de Isora has not only been a leading municipality in terms of sustainability, especially in these last four years, but "it is also a leading municipality in quality investments, with an exemplary model in terms of respect for the environment, the coastline and heritage."
During his words, he thanked the neighborhood associations and groups that have collaborated with municipal policies during this very complex mandate: “we have a very active society and we want to continue working for each of our towns and their future, so that people can live and enjoy Guía de Isora.”
At the event, the main projects that they want to carry out for Guía de Isora in the coming years were presented and they include new sports infrastructures, new leisure areas, "projects that citizens demand to improve accessibility and comfort, and - of course - with more investments in employment, education, culture and sports as we have been doing until now," Mesa said.
Pedro Martín, president of the Cabildo of Tenerife, expressed his recognition of the great work carried out by Josefa Mesa as mayor in these almost four years, while highlighting “the support of the Cabildo to all the municipalities of the island, with a territorial balance, regardless of the political sign that governs it and with a frankly positive vision of the future for the next four years.” In the case of Guía de Isora, Martín referred to improvements in health, roads, sustainability and the firm commitment to opening the regional senior residence in the municipality.
For her part, Nira Fierro, number one for Tenerife in the Parliament of the Canary Islands, stated that “part of the successes of the socialist party at the island level are due to the spirit of Josefa Mesa, for her honesty and her capacity for dialogue.” Fierro was convinced that the socialists deserve to govern again in the Canary Islands institutions "to continue complying with our program as we have done in health, educational, environmental matters and with the commitment to public housing, especially in Guía de Isora." Finally, Fierro highlighted, taking advantage of the minister's presence, that "when it comes to sustainable tourism we are clear that the model is Guía de Isora."
Héctor Gómez, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce acknowledged finding only good words for Josefa Mesa, whom he defined as “a tireless worker, with extraordinary discipline, and transparency in the leadership of different teams, which has helped make Guía de Isora a benchmark in good practices in the social field, placing it at the forefront of local management in Spain.”
