El PSPV has been the earliest riser of the electoral year and has already presented your full list of candidates to retain the Dénia City Council. Its main objective is to repeat the successful result of 2019, where it achieved 12 councilors and a historic absolute majority. Or, at least, it would settle for returning to being the list with the most votes and staying with the local government through some post-electoral pact.
To achieve your goal, Vicent Grimalt will have a somewhat surprising list. The clear intention to renew its ranks is appreciated to ensure the privileged position that the training has enjoyed these years in Dénia. They need new faces to get to know each other if this next legislature is going to be the last for their mayoral candidate.
Three councilors who have been with Grimalt these years in charge of various areas, some of them of great weight, step aside and cease to be part of the socialist project. Behind them there are huge gaps that are going to be filled by unknown faces on the front lines of local politics.
