Patricia Fernández, whose name is being considered as an alternative to López Miras, proclaims on the portal that she has “a reliable project for my municipality and the Region of Murcia”
The mayor of Archena, Patricia Fernández, of the Popular Party, raised expectations on Friday night, when she announced on her social network profiles that this Saturday morning, specifically at 9:30 a.m., she would announce “a new project”.
The imagination of his followers began to fly and many speculated that, perhaps, he would make his intention to attend the congress of the Popular Party in the Region of Murcia official, to dispute the leadership of the president of the autonomous government, Fernando López Miras. Something that, a priori, seemed unlikely, taking into account that the conclave has not even been called (although Genoa plans to hold it in the first half of 2022) and that such an announcement would cause a stir within the popular formation, whose national leadership is He plays it this Sunday in the elections of Castilla y León.
Indeed, Patricia Fernández did not confirm her candidacy for the presidency of the regional PP this Saturday, but the creation of a personal website (patriciafernandezlopez.es) so that citizens can “better learn about my professional, personal and political life.”
However, the movement of the popular leader opens the door to interpretations about her aspirations for the future. Although there are many other mayors who have personal websites, they usually create them when the elections are approaching, for political promotion purposes. For example, the mayor of San Javier and general secretary of the Popular Party in the region, José Miguel Luengo, has not created any personal website. Nor Joaquín Buendía, mayor of Alcantarilla, who also obtained an absolute majority in 2019.
The portal is focused on the policies carried out by Patricia Fernández in Archena in recent years, but some interesting messages are also released about the mayor’s possible future intentions. “My passion is politics, based on a reliable and future project for the town of Archena and for the Region of Murcia,” proclaims the councilor. “I am proud to lead a project with a present but, above all, with a future to achieve more of the Region and a better Spain”, she also affirms. In the image gallery, Fernández can be seen together with the national president of the PP, Pablo Casado, but Fernando López Miras and Teodoro García Egea do not appear, at the moment.
Patricia Fernández has already won three municipal elections with an absolute majority in her municipality. She was a regional deputy in the Assembly and deputy secretary of Communication of the regional PP, a position that she decided to leave. In the last remodeling of the Autonomous Executive Committee of the PP, carried out in the days of the motion of censure, she was offered the position of deputy secretary, but she did not agree.
The Murcian Ayuso
In recent months it has gained prominence in the national media. His initiative to carry out antigen tests on the entire educational community of Archena before the return of the Christmas holidays, with the sixth wave in full swing, was widely applauded and aroused the interest of a state television. Several national newspapers have dedicated reports to him in recent months, in which he is compared to the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
In the interview that ‘El Mundo’ conducted on January 29, they asked him directly if he intended to lead the party in the region. She neither confirmed nor denied. «From loyalty, I will do what is best for my party and for my Region. Any member of the party is an option to lead a project, as the president of my party has said », she replied.
Speaking to LA VERDAD, Patricia Fernández assures that, as of this Saturday, February 12, she is focused solely and exclusively on Archena. In addition, she expressed her wish that the PP achieve good results in the elections this Sunday in Castilla y León.
