The fight against depopulation endures: Aragón Existe holds on with two deputies
Aragón Existe, led by Tomás Guitarte, maintains representation in the Aragonese Parliament despite losing one seat in recent elections.
In the recent elections, the political party Aragón Existe, spearheaded by architect Tomás Guitarte, has successfully retained its presence in the Aragonese Parliament by securing two deputies, despite a reduction from three. The party garnered 22,292 votes with 93.85% of the ballots counted, reflecting a resilient continued support despite the challenge of a national-level political debate overshadowing local issues.
Guitarte expressed a nuanced victory reflecting on the complexities of the election outcome, stating that the true concerns of Teruel province have not been adequately addressed in the broader national discourse. He lamented that significant local challenges related to depopulation had been overshadowed, emphasizing the need for attention and fulfillment of promises made to his constituents. Guitarte's remarks underscore a sentiment among local leaders that regional issues deserve more prominence in political discussions and decision-making.
As Aragón Existe moves forward, Guitarte's leadership will be pivotal in advocating for local needs, especially in the face of the challenges brought about by depopulation in Aragon. The evolving political landscape in the region signals the importance of multiparty representation that directly addresses the needs of provinces like Teruel, rather than allowing national party dynamics to dictate local outcomes. Guitarte called for vigilance in ensuring that the interests of provincial voters remain at the forefront of political dialogue and policymaking in the region.
