The until now deputy mayor of Madrid and Ciudadanos candidate for mayor of the capital, Begoña VillacÃs, gave the “most difficult” speech of her life this Sunday and assumed that “it has been an unmitigated defeat” the departure of her party from the Consistory from Madrid.
This is how he transferred it to the media at the end of the scrutiny, where he assured that “none of this erases the work done in the last four years.” “Life is not always fair,†he stressed.
“Instead of criticizing him, I am going to assume the results,” VillacÃs remarked, since “we accept the dictation of the people of Madrid.” He assumed that it was an “unmitigated” defeat. “I don’t like euphemisms, I don’t like to sweeten reality,” he argued.
“The results in the Madrid City Council have not been as expected” so “this is the most difficult speech I have had to give in my life,” he stressed. However, he celebrated that this electoral campaign has been the one that has made him feel “most proud”, despite obtaining “the worst results”.
He assured that he has already congratulated “by message” the mayor of the capital, José Luis MartÃnez-Almeida for the absolute majority, as well as “the rest of the political forces that are going to continue working for the City Council.”
