Carlos Delgado, councilor for Public Works and spokesperson for Unión por Leganés (ULEG), announced that his group will present a motion at the State of the City Debate to name the tennis courts of the future sports complex in Leganés Norte after Rafa Jódar. These facilities, built by CD Leganés, will be for public use during most of their operating hours.
Delgado made this announcement during the current State of the City Debate, which takes place today and tomorrow. Additionally, local tennis player Rafa Jódar will be among the athletes honored at the first edition of the Leganés Sports Gala, scheduled for Friday.
Beyond this proposal, Delgado advocated for "micro-urbanism" as a solution to the city's problems. "The city improves not only with large projects but also when small problems are solved. We must have a dual vision: one for the future and one of proximity, which is the essence of local politics," he stated.
The first deputy mayor, along with Mayor Miguel Ángel Recuenco (PP), argued that the city is experiencing "movement" in contrast to the "stagnation" of previous legislatures. "We have initiated a visible transformation, including small matters, because governing a city means knowing how to look at the horizon and also at what is close by," the councilor reiterated.
For her part, Almudena Jiménez, councilor for Communication and government spokesperson, criticized the opposition's stance, labeling it as "propaganda and laziness." "You vote against everything that is good for the city because you do not believe in it. The PP has come to work and think about the future. You punish any disagreement that deviates from your political catechism," she declared.
Jiménez highlighted that the local government, formed by the PP and ULEG, has implemented a governing approach based on "listening." She concluded that over the past three years, the city has improved "a lot," acknowledging that it is "not finished or perfect, but it is beginning to glimpse what Leganés will be in 20 or 30 years." She cited the new cleaning contract as one of the advancements.
