The provincial president of the People's Party of Jaén, Erik Domínguez, chaired a meeting of the Permanent Committee this Thursday to examine in detail the results of the Andalusian elections held on May 17. Domínguez stated that the main conclusion is that "the people of Jaén want a change of course and a change of trend in this province."
At the provincial level, the popular leader highlighted that the PP emerged as the leading force in 67 out of the 97 municipalities in the province, covering areas where 80% of the population resides. Furthermore, Jaén was one of the three Andalusian provinces where the PP did not lose any deputies and where it experienced the greatest percentage growth in votes. Domínguez described these figures as "historic results," especially considering that the party does not govern either the Provincial Council or the capital. He cited municipalities such as Bailén, Alcalá la Real, and Hinojares as examples of this positive trend, where the PP has doubled its votes compared to the PSOE.
Regarding the capital, Domínguez criticized the pact between the PSOE and Jaén Merece Más for the motion of censure, arguing that it "has not brought anything positive to the city" and that voters have "punished it at the polls." After accepting the electoral message "with humility," the provincial PP leader assured that contacts have already been initiated with the groups with whom electoral commitments were made.
In this context, Domínguez criticized the PSOE's attitude, which, "just one day after the elections and after having made their own commitments to the people of Jaén," announced a new agreement with the separatists on financing. He pointed to the announcement by minister Puente of investing more than five million euros in a new train for Catalonia as an example of "comparative grievance" for the province, while Jaén is denied a solution for its railway isolation, budgeted at around 500,000 euros. "Once again, the PSOE is paying for Moncloa at the expense of Andalusians and people from Jaén," he stated.
Looking ahead, Domínguez expressed his confidence that Alberto Núñez Feijóo will become President of the Government and reiterated the commitment to end the province's railway isolation, a commitment that the national PP leader also mentioned at the National Executive Board meeting last Monday. "In the People's Party, we keep our word," he stressed. Meanwhile, the PP of Jaén has announced that it will "study all possible political measures to put an end once and for all to the railway situation; we cannot continue to tolerate it."
