The mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar, Ángela Gaona, resigns from office: “I can't take it anymore”

“I am experiencing extraordinarily complicated situations that make me stop and reflect on whether it is truly worth it, and the time has come to say no,” explained Gaona, who did not give specific reasons for making this decision, but insisted that it is based on prioritizing his personal life. «In life not everything goes, and with me all limits have been exceeded, going beyond political and professional criticism, and taking it to my private life and my own image. There are people who will be happy about this decision, but I must make it for my family and for me,” Gaona stressed.

Ángela Gaona won the municipal elections last year and, although the PP lost its absolute majority, she was elected mayor and received the baton carried by Visitación Martínez, current president of the Regional Assembly, in the three previous legislatures. «To my colleagues, to my team, thank you, we must remain strong for the best project for San Pedro del Pinatar, to the Municipal Corporation, remind them that together we build Democracy; “To think that in addition to being councilors you are residents of San Pedro del Pinatar,” she said goodbye.

In his statement, Gaona reviews his 12 years in political life, thanks the people who have accompanied him for their support and insists on his reasons for taking a step aside: “They say that life is about stages and this has been unforgettable. , but life is still there and these recent times have not been pretty, nor easy, and now a life is growing inside me that I want to protect, along with the life of my family.

«We must remember that we should not waste a minute of our life, which is only one. I want to make the most of that time that I have stolen from my people on too many occasions,” continues Gaona, who apologizes” and maintains that “everything has an end.” «I wish them luck, and I hope they do things thinking that the people of Pinata feel proud of their political representatives. I will never be able to forget everything I experienced and learned in this City Council, until forever,” he concludes.

The president of the regional PP and head of the regional executive, Fernando López Miras, described Gaona as “a great mayor and good friend” and was convinced, in a message published on social networks, that the until now councilor of San Pedro will continue ” “overturned” with the town.

Likewise, he supported Gaona in his decision and assured that “not everything goes and you know that you have my support. There are many of us who love you. Now it's time to dedicate yourself to yours.
