MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS BARCELONA 2023 | The PSC celebrates that Jaume Collboni already has “one foot in the mayor’s office”

From new barrisfrom its great fiefdom, the one that has never failed it in municipal ones -with the exception of 2015, when the Comuns broke in-, the PSC has declared itself battle winner of May 28 in Barcelona. Jaume Collboniat the gallop of what the latest polls predict, has taken the stage showing off with his fingers the V of ‘victory’. Quite audacity when only three days of the 15 that the campaign has have elapsed and the bag of undecided is as large as it is decisive. But this time, they say from the socialist electoral machinery, it is not a desideratum, but they presume to have more and more data in their favor. “Victory Breathes”they insist with undisguised optimism.

“It’s a all against Collbonia all against the PSC.And that is because we have one foot in the mayor’s office. We need to put the other foot in”, the candidate proclaimed knowing that with a technical draw at three, whoever manages to stand out with a clear advantage will take the plunge. This time, it was the Minister of Culture and president of the PSC, miquel icetawho has chanted his name at the rally and has demanded a “broad and resounding victory” to set up a government “stable and strong”. It escapes no one that, whoever comes first, the arithmetic of pacts will rule from the moment the polls close.

Collboni tries to squeeze the wind in favor of having achieved that the framework of the campaign is not a matter of two –Ada Colau and Xavier Trias, but three, and harangues his troops under the clamor that it is just around the corner for Barcelona to once again have a socialist mayor’s office. “That’s why our competitors are a little nervous“, he assured. And immediately afterwards he added that he will not fall for the provocation and that he thinks respond to each “attack” with “proposals and solutions” because the citizenship is “tired and weary” of the policy that is done against.

Paid internships for 1,400 young people

Collboni has promised “clean and safe” neighborhoods -has claimed from the Generalitat the 600 mossos agreed in the budgets with the PSC- and investment in the peripheral areas of the city instead of concentrating them in the center. “For some, the city starts and ends in Consell de Cent“, he said in reference to the Comuns.

The “unstoppable” Sánchez

“You are him bearer of our hopes“, an Iceta has warned him, who has confessed that it has taken him a long time to take three days to start his campaign in Barcelona.

Once again, the socialists have recalled Pasqual MaragallIn this case, the minister pointed out, for his defense that the challenge for the capital must be to be able to walk “from Nou Barris to Pedralbes without perceiving differences”.
