Laura Gomez is the Puebla de Don Fadrique’s new mayor. She was supported by her fellow councilors and now has an absolute majority of seats in the council. This is the first time the town has elected a woman mayor.
Laura Gomez was a councilor for sports and tourism. She was ranked fourth in the PP candidacy at the last elections. It was impossible to predict that Laura Gomez would be elected mayor of her hometown. Despite the fact that 6 PP parliamentarians were predicted, this meant that Mariano Garcia Castillo would be elected to the Andalusian Parliament. However, the election results did not confirm that Laura Gomez, who had been the mayor for 11 years, would have to travel to Seville to leave her position as mayor. There were no candidates to the office of the City Council. A problem arose when she realized that there weren’t any volunteers to run for mayor. She carried out her municipal work in the private sector. Laura Gomez, finally, has decided to make a move or three and become mayor. She will be undoubtedly a better leader than her predecessor.
Mariano Garcia Castillo has left the office of mayor with a lot of achievements and projects. His replacement will need to finish those that are planned or in progress. Yesterday Mariano Garcia provided some details about his arrival at the town hall as well as how he left it, both from an economic perspective. There were 82,821 euro in the municipal coffers on June 11, 2011 and a 1,420,066 euro debt to suppliers. I am leaving 1,790.283 euros in municipal coffers. A 33.804 euro debt to suppliers is also left. Mariano Garcia will continue as councilor, and will therefore be able guide and advise his party’s new mayor.
