It’s a day of election hangover, but Luis Partida is doubly happy. Not only did he win the municipal elections of Villanueva de la Cañada, obtaining an absolute majority for the PP. The Popular Party and its candidate Isabel Díaz Ayuso also revalidate the Community of Madrid.

Respond to COPE Madrid’s call to City Hall: “I am very happy and happy. I woke up more tired than I went to bed. My fellow citizens trusted me, I must continue to fight, to fight as long as I can” even if he recognizes that we cannot always do everything because “there are things that do not depend on you “.

Luis Partida has led the town hall of Villanueva de la Cañada for 44 years and he believes that when this legislature is over he should retire. He has young people in his squad, the average age is 41 and that was precisely one of the recommendations made by Isabel Díaz Ayuso. Involving young people in local politics, “committed people”, he says, “who study and who get along perfectly with other people who have great experience”.

The victory harvested on 28-M is for Luis Partida “the gold brooch to these 48 years that I have, the clasp that any great work deserves and Villanueva has been since I have been president of the corporation”. And he recognizes that this is not just one job, it’s a job that many people have been involved in.

After a life dedicated to politics at the head of the town hall since the first municipal elections (1979), he assures that “I will surely miss it, but I will find something to entertain me”. Villanueva de la Cañada “was a small town that had a thousand inhabitants and now it has 25,000 inhabitants in fact and double that on the right. And it has become a reference point for education with two universities”.
