The candidate for Mayor of Dénia for May 2023 for the Popular Party, Pepa Font, has dedicated a few words on her social media profiles to the news of the city's election as Departure of Stage 8 of La Vuelta Ciclista a España. On Instagram, specifically, she has celebrated the decision of the test, attributing its merit to a conversation between her and the president of the Alicante Provincial Council, Carlos Mazón.
That La Vuelta Ciclista arrives in Dénia is great news. And not just going through the city, but going out of it, it's even better. It is a milestone for the capital of the Marina Alta, which will focus the attention of millions of people from different countries during the date of the celebration.
As is to be expected with an event of this size, being in the photo scores a lot of points for local organizers, more so on a political level during the election year. It is normal, therefore, that the representatives fight for their piece of the pie and seek to take the credit for achieving such an important feat. The photo has been taken by Vicent Grimalt, as is normal being the mayor of the city, but his rival at the polls and PP candidate, Pepa Font, maintains his conviction as the main promoter of bringing the test to Dénia, as weeks ago before the official announcement.
«When at the beginning of December I met with Carlos Mazón, president of the Alicante Provincial Council and candidate for the Presidency of the Generalitat Valenciana for the Popular Party, I explained my objective, to return Dénia to its capital status, consequently obtaining more employment, more opportunities for young people and a better quality of life for the Dianenses", he recounted this Friday through an Instagram publication accompanied by the stage graph, to which he added: "President Mazón understood it perfectly, and praised the determination in this regard, proposing to carry out any of the stages of the Vuelta a España 2023 in Dénia, of which the Alicante Provincial Council is a sponsor. He thought it was a magnificent idea and I told him that if he could work for it, it would be an achievement for Dénia ».
