Unión Popular Liberal Centrista in Bigastro

Having been replaced by Charo Bañuls as spokesperson for the PP, Aurelio Murcia yesterday presented his new Centrist Liberal People's Union party and its headquarters located on Calle La Purisima near the Socialist headquarters.

The candidate for mayor says it is a party open to all, neither anti PP, nor PSOE but rather aiming to be " probigastro ". This will be a party that looks to the future rather than dwells in the past. Aurelio Murcia says the town has only a future and adds that, whatever the result,  his new party will  last beyond the May 22nd elections.

Murcia goes on to say that his party provides a creditable alternative for Bigastro without fear. Although he says the work of the party will be on-going, Murcia aims to get seven seats on the council in May.

On the only negative note during his interview, Aurelio Murcia said that any party that has been in power for 28 years must have made mistakes. Prior to his joining the PP in 2007, the town had been governed by José Joaquín Moya, the socialist mayor for 24 years.  He was imprisoned for three months following various allegations made against him, resigned from his post and  was replaced by the current socialist mayor, Raúl Valerio Medina.
