“"Our first objective is to remove the right and stop the far-right. There are several provinces in Andalusia, I'm talking about the province of Cádiz, Córdoba, and Granada, where the last seat, according to the CIS and other polls, is being disputed between the right, the far-right, and Adelante Andalucía."
José Ignacio García: "Our goal is to remove the right, otherwise, we have failed"

José Ignacio García, the Adelante Andalucía candidate for the Presidency of the Junta, has stated that his primary goal is to achieve the removal of the right-wing from the Andalusian government, even if his party does not lead the coalition.
The leader of Adelante Andalucía, José Ignacio García, has expressed his firm conviction that his party's main objective is to dislodge the right-wing from the government of the Junta de Andalucía. In an interview, García emphasized that, if they fail to do so, they would consider it a "failure," regardless of his party's electoral results.
The candidate, who also works as a guidance counselor in a school in Jerez, seeks to capitalize on the support of younger voters, a segment that, according to him, is attracted to his message. During the photo session for the interview, a group of young people recognized him and expressed their support, which García interprets as a sign that his proposal "resonates" with this sector.
García has established himself as a prominent figure in the Andalusian Parliament, considered by his adversaries to be one of the most critical. Despite his political role, he insists on his identity as a "militant for changing the world" and not just for a party, maintaining a foot outside professional politics and connected to "real life" through his work and personal circle.
Regarding potential agreements, García affirmed that Adelante Andalucía would facilitate the investiture of a government that excludes the Popular Party, but would remain in opposition. They would establish clear conditions in areas such as healthcare, housing, and education, seeking a dynamic of "proposal and pressure" for the benefit of Andalusian citizens' interests. He rejected the idea of holding ministerial positions if it meant being "subordinated to the PSOE" without being able to implement his program.
The candidate also addressed issues such as the tourist tax, which he considers inevitable in Andalusia, and the need to regulate rental prices, proposing to link them to the average income of each district so that they do not exceed 30% of family income. He also criticized the management of public healthcare, mentioning the case of midwives at the Hospital de Valme in Seville who report precarious conditions.
