The president of the Junta and PP-A candidate to regain the position, Juanma Moreno, has urged Andalusians to "fill the ballot boxes entirely" with ballots from his party, which he has presented as the only "option for stability and security" in Andalusia, warning that one should not play "with people's livelihoods". He pointed out that on May 17, election day, "things are going to be tight" and stated that "hopefully" that "majority for stability" will be achieved, making possible a "strong" government capable of opening a "new era of changes and reforms".
Moreno celebrated his final campaign event this Friday in Plaza Antonio Garrido Moraga in Malaga, where, according to PP-A data, about 1,200 people gathered, after speaking a couple of hours earlier at another rally in Granada. At the Malaga event, the mayor, Francisco de la Torre; the number two candidate for the province, Carolina España; the provincial president of the party and delegate of the Junta Government, Patricia Navarro; and the deputy secretary of Regional and Local Policy of the PP, Elías Bendodo, also spoke.
"To all those who doubt, please, vote for the only option of stability, security, coexistence, and trust; let's not play with people's livelihoods, let's not play with stability," Juanma Moreno pleaded.
In that vein, he addressed the undecided voters, asking them to "trust". "Give us your support, lend us your vote, because we are going to use your vote rationally, intelligently, and productively; we are not going to disappoint you, because for every vote we receive, we gain one more hope, one more illusion, and one more strength," he stressed.
"On May 17, we need to concentrate the vote on the only possible and viable government option, which is the PP of Andalusia: Andalusians, join this wave of hope, change, joy, and illusion, and the future of Andalusia," insisted the popular leader, who promised an executive that "will govern for everyone". "We are stronger when we are united, and we must be united on May 17, united in hope, in illusion, in change, and in the future," he added.
Moreno has vindicated the PP-A campaign, which, according to him, has been based on "reality, authenticity, and the truth of coherence and the work done," in contrast to the opposition's strategy, which he has described as a campaign of "provocations, insults, and disqualifications." "How easy it is to run a campaign by getting on a podium to disqualify a person, some ideas, or a project," he pointed out.
The leader of the Andalusian PP has also assured that he has seen his rivals "promise and promise things that are unachievable," as well as "things that are impossible to do" or "clearly illegal."
"We have gone into this campaign with clear ideas, knowing and understanding Andalusia, and comprehending its emotions and frustrations, and knowing that we have to work harder," stated Moreno, who believes that this campaign "is the beginning of something new and better; the start of a new era of permanent changes, reforms, and improvements in our land, because we want more."
He added that some parties have developed their campaign based "on a platform of lies," trying to convey to the Andalusian citizens that "we destroy all public services and the economy," a discourse that he has described as "absolutely catastrophic and unreal that clashes with reality."
"It also clashes when one comes with empty pockets, with empty hands, and without any kind of proposal or enthusiasm for the future," he affirmed, alluding to the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, who this Friday closed the campaign in Seville alongside the PSOE-A candidate for the Junta, María Jesús Montero.
In the final part of his speech, Moreno defended that the PP-A is a "builder of hope and of the future" and that "we want to add, not subtract." "We want to add Andalusians, add so many people who have concerns, who believe that we have the capacity and the will to improve the problems of our land," he concluded.
