The political formation Almerienses, with a purely provincial base, is entering the elections with the firm intention of ensuring that the province of Almería gains its own voice in the regional administration. Juanjo Cano, fifty years old, married with one daughter, is deeply involved in Almerian social, sports, and cultural spheres, bringing a fresh perspective to the political landscape.
It is time to break into the system, change the trend, and confront a regional administration that has always discriminated against our province.
From the regionalist ranks, it is highlighted that Almería's history shows a pattern of indifference and marginalization by political elites, both local and external, who have subjected the province to the dictates of centralist parties from Madrid and Seville. The party seeks to end the resignation and conformism that, according to them, have characterized the actions of Almerian parliamentarians over the past four decades.
Almerienses seeks to end the mediocrity, resignation, and conformism to which all those Almerian parliamentarians have accustomed us, who, without exception, submissively serving from the PSOE, the PP of Andalucía, and other political formations, have occupied a Sevillian seat for more than forty years without the slightest capacity for decision on the issues that truly matter to us. To be a zero to the left, they should not count on the people of Almería.
Juanjo Cano criticizes the artificial polarization between left and right, considering it a smokescreen that conceals the real debate demanded by Almerian citizens: the chronic deficit in investment. He argues that while national and Andalusian parties get entangled in outdated ideological wars, Almería suffers isolation due to a lack of diverse and functional communication infrastructures and deficient public services, consistently ranking last in various statistics. He labels the “useful vote” as a “great political scam” that only benefits party structures and the ego of politicians.
The Almerienses party not only identifies problems but also proposes solutions, including a decentralized administration model that addresses the specific needs of the region and reduces bureaucratic dependence on Seville. Their goal is to transform Almería into a decisive political actor, directly influencing the configuration of provincial budgets.
Finally, Almerienses emphasizes that the current situation will not be resolved with more Andalusian identity or foreign nationalisms, but with an active defense of the province's identity and interests. Juanjo Cano concludes that Almería's future does not depend on praise for current leaders, whether from Madrid, Seville, or Málaga, but on determined and autonomous political action.
