When nobody in town knows the candidates or how the PP propagated its “cuneros” in Castilla-la-Mancha

Huecas is a small municipality in the province of Toledo, with about 700 inhabitants, in which the PSOE has governed six consecutive legislatures, or almost 25 years. It is very likely that the socialist José Julio Sánchez Ramos will continue as mayor. These are the seats where the opposition party, in this case the PP, practically gives up, but feels it must submit an electoral list to maintain its power as the state party. And in this case, it was done by seven people “unknown in the municipality”, as residents of the city told elDiarioclm.es.

This Toledo municipality has seven councilors. In the 2019 local elections, the PSOE verified its absolute majority with five councilors and 334 votes, while the PP was left with two with only 79 votes.

For the next 28 million years, “Popular” comes up again with “Seven Unknowns”. The candidates are young people from the nearby municipality of Fuensalida and the province of Toledo, mostly from the new generation, as in the case of the leader of the list, Steven Bueno, whose residence is Fuensalida and who is expected to receive the act of councilor in Huescas. Additionally, it also appears as number six on PP’s municipal list for the city of Chueca, Toledo.

It happens that the head of the list and the candidate for the mayor of Fuensalida is José Jaime Alonso, who, in addition to being a national deputy, was the vice-counselor for education during the government of María Dolores de Cospedal.

“He is a person who has been in charge of PP’s guardianship or Hueca’s electoral list management for years, like someone running a large municipality colony compared to a small city,” local sources said. of the municipality. Task “It is necessary to fill the lists, since no one in the municipality wanted to participate in the electoral list of PP”.

As for the rest of the people on the Huecas list, two others are from Miguel Esteban, also from the province of Toledo, the birthplace of Marta Maroto, former president and national deputy of Nuevas Generaciones and former secretary general. Regional PP, Vicente Tirado. The others live in Valmojado, a municipality almost adjacent to Madrid, where Carolina Agudo, general secretary of the Castilla-La Mancha PP, is a councillor.

The same sources say this is not the only time something like this has happened, as unknown women from the nearby town of Gerindote appeared in the 2011 elections in the municipality of Wekas. Gerindote is the original municipality of Julián Morales, provincial deputy of the PP, who at the time “led” the towns of the Torrijos region.

In this election, PSOE got six councilors, and PP only one. The elected councilor took possession of his minutes, attended the two plenary sessions at the beginning of the legislature and the patron saint’s mass, and “he was never seen again.”

The case of Uecas is an important case of those that have multiplied in the province of Toledo and throughout the autonomous community. Specifically, and as this media has been able to verify, there are 150 candidates for the PP ‘cuneros’ in the municipal elections, in more than 900 cities in the region where they are held. The data is four times more than the 2019 election and reflects the need to “fill” their lists.

In particular, in the province of Toledo, similar situations (although not in the whole list as in Huecas) occur in the candidacies of Escalona, ​​La Guardia, Navalcan, Mascarac, Noes, Pulgar, Camarenilla, Campillo de la Jara, Erustes. Rielves, San Bartolome de las Abiertas, El Real de San Vicente, Cardiel de los Montes and Aldeanueva de San Bartolome.

Cuenca, on the other hand, is one of the provinces where more “cuneros” of the PP can be identified in the lists published for the municipal elections, mixed with councilors who live or are registered in the cities. These are the cases of Alcalá de la Vega, Bascuñana de San Pedro, Boniches, Pozorrubio de Santiago, Carrascosa, Montalbo, Villar de la Ecina, Castillo de Garcimuñoa and twenty other municipalities.

In the province of Albacete, the cities of Vianos, Nerpio and Peñascosa also have PP lists for municipal elections with people who do not live or are not from these cities.

Although the “Cunero” phenomenon, in the case of municipal elections, is sometimes perceived by the public as normal, the truth is that it symbolizes and represents a situation that is particularly relevant in Castilla-La Mancha during the general elections. In this case, the big parties use the opportunity to place people who have no ties to the territory in the five provincial districts of Castilla-Manchegan.
