The PP candidate for the Presidency of the Junta de Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, has avoided commenting on the proposal of the Cs candidate, Francisco Igea, and his campaign committee to postpone the electoral debate scheduled for this Monday after his positive for COVID-19, while acknowledging that he does not understand the “controversy” that has been generated around this appointment in recent days.

“Two and a half years ago they were held well and in these elections there has been a lot of controversy that I do not understand,” explained Fernández Mañueco during the media attention after a visit held this Saturday to the Asprosub special employment center in Benavente (Zamora).

Regarding the request for the postponement of Monday’s debate made by Igea, which the Cs campaign committee is going to submit to the Electoral Board, the ‘popular’ candidate has referred to his campaign director and has stressed that his “main debate ” is “with the people of Castilla y León”.

In any case, he recalled that it is an act “regulated” by law and of “democratic conviction” to which he will go to explain his project, as well as the “solutions” proposed by the Popular Party for the challenges it faces Castile and León.

On the preparation of the same, the ‘popular’ candidate has stressed that he does it “talking with the men and women of this land”, listening to them, but “above all proposing”. “My debate is going to be a positive debate,” he stressed.

Alfonso Fernández Mañueco has sent a message of “encouragement” and “affection” for the one who was his vice president in the Junta de Castilla y León until the rupture of the government agreement and has lamented the news of his contagion by coronavirus, known in the Friday night.

For the ‘popular’ candidate, the current situation requires “prudence and individual responsibility”, since “the virus continues” among all, although he has defended the holding of the elections in this context, since he has recalled that they have already been held electoral campaigns and elections in other autonomous communities during the pandemic. “We have to keep moving forward”, he concluded.
