“Yes, it will be an honor and a joy to be able to run for a third term as mayor to consolidate the project of the Barcelona of the future and a new city model.” With a call first thing in the morning when there is little more than a year to go before the next municipal elections, the mayor Ada Colau has confirmed that she will once again stand for the primaries of her formation, BComú, to continue as head of the City Council .
Colau, who in his beginnings in politics defended that a candidate could not run for more than two terms in order not to cling to the chair, has thus confirmed what everyone took for granted given that, although he has not garnered a comfortable majority in any of his previous elections does not exist in the City Council either, for now, a rival who can amply unseat her in votes and the municipal arithmetic can smile at her again.
However, the current mayor has wanted to make it clear that “this was not obvious” and has ensured that the process until its announcement this Thursday “has not been a staging.” In addition, BComú maintains for now the primary process and the rest of the internal processes until officially designating a candidate for the next elections.
BComú voted last weekend to propose to the mayor that she choose a third term and the mayor met yesterday with the coordinator of her party to analyze the proposal. “I am more convinced than ever of the transformation project we are carrying out“, she has sentenced.
