June 8, 2022 at around 1 p.m. Elena Duque Merino, PP, was the first woman to be sworn into office as mayor and president in the Huetor Vega City Council. The popular group and Citizens voted for the government team, which has been in place for three years. For the past seven months, the new municipal councilor held the position by accident. Jose Garcia del Paso (number two on the Popular Party List) officially resigned as a candidate to the office of mayor during this extraordinary plenary session.
The PP of Huetor Vega was already led by Elena Duque. It wanted to communicate the intention to give “stability to the City Council” and “seek the best for our citizens” during the remainder of the mandate. Also, it expressed sadness at Mariano Molina del Paso’s illness which forced him to retire from politics in March 2020. His conservatorship was created after the final ruling. This has resulted in the end of his councilor status on the Huetor Vega City Council. Tomas Jimenez Fernandez covers the vacancy for mayor of the municipal party group. He also assumed office on June 8.
Elena Duque was elected president in Huetor Vega of the PP last February. She takes over as Huetena mayor from Mariano Molina. Duque thanked Jose Manuel Prieto, his colleague, for his “without any personal interests” speech (visibly moved as was Jose Garcia del Paso), when he assumed the role of accidental Mayor just at the time the crisis arising from the covid-19 epidemic. Numerous provincial officials from the Popular Party attended the event.
Carolina Higueras (spokesman for the municipal socialist group) and David Vladimir Garcia Uceda (spokesman for the IU-Equo organization), congratulated Huetor Vega’s new mayor and emphasized her determination to continue exercising constructive resistance. Garcia Uceda also praised the inclusion of Tomas Jimenez Fernandez, a young councilor. He said, “Young blood it is what we need.”
Jose Garcia del Paso said that he has “voluntarily” given up his right to be the mayor of Number 2 on the list. It is my best option to ensure continuity in the office of the mayor and my political formation. In my work, I have always emphasized integrity, honesty, and honesty. He declared that he wished Elena Duque all the best, who he trusts and with whom he wants to continue his work in the government team.

Elena Duque, who was already invested as mayor, replied that it would have been easy to present yourself as a candidate today for mayor and exercise your right to be number two on most voted lists. But your greatness and your commitment to me and your people has forced you to renounce your right to this. I’m sure your neighbors will appreciate it. I already do it>>.
Elena Duque kept Mariano Molina in her investiture speech. I was an independent candidate and I am now the president of the Popular Party Huetor Vega. Because I found a party that is open to society and which supports the values I identify with, “said the mayor.
When explaining the methods he will use to assume the role in the final year of his term, Duque also referenced Mariano Molina. Duque, like Mariano, stated that the government team would work for all people, for both those who voted for him and those who didn’t. “Above ideologies I believe in people, and management. This is about the day-to-day work. He added, “To show that we govern to everyone.”
