The Junts candidate for mayor of Barcelona, Xavier Trias, has appealed to the “useful vote” at the final campaign rally in front of hundreds of people. An act in which he has summarized his message: “Are you against Ada Colau? You have it easy, vote Triasany other vote means that he will have Mrs. Colau governing, for sure”, he warned, speaking of “four years of misfortune” in the event of the current government being reissued.
“I need, because I have presented myself to be mayor, to win clearlythat no one can discuss it”, he insisted in his last speech. “They do not give us orders, they have never given them to me”, he clarified about his free hands to decide the policy of alliances against the leaders of Junts or the bases of the party, which will be consulted, but in a non-binding manner.”Carles Puigdemont tells me ‘Trias wins the elections’ and we will win them, also for him”, he added to clarify that the ‘ex-president’ has not set any conditions on him.
“They manage poorly: security, cleanliness… and this affects self-esteem,” he warned, repeating his campaign messages, focused on changing the style of governance. “My wife tells me ‘Don’t talk about Colau neither of Collboni‘; It is that they are a disaster, what are we going to do”, he ironized. “We can be mayors, because we are the force with the most votes, and then decide with whom we govern and do it according to our program”, he added regarding possible future alliances. A program that he has summarized in that the fight against poverty must be based on creating sustainable economic activity, and he has also opted for “changing the way of governing” and “taking the whole world into account”.

Trias has appealed for change against those who “have not made things easy for us.” “We have the obligation to show what Barcelona is, that it is the capital of Catalonia and of Catalanness and it has to defend Catalonia and our language, our customs”, he asserted.
At the final rally, held in the Gardens of Gràcia, and who has achieved the most influx in the campaign, the Junts candidate has stated that these two weeks have “rejuvenated” him. “I am enthusiastic, happy to do it and it makes me excited”, he has proclaimed.
