The Democratic Party of Rojales (PADER) faces the elections on May 26 with a primary objective: to improve the daily life of the citizens of our municipality. And for this we are going to direct all our efforts­in­getting­basic­quality­services,­a­sufficient­and­updated­municipal­administration,­a­real­and­effective participation of citizens in municipal life and above all we will develop social policies in our municipality, which respect the principle of respect and equality among all citizens. Achieving these objectives will be our main aim and concern for the next four years.

We value our experience of 8 years in the Town Hall as very positive, having had occasions to know during this time, the ins and outs of the municipal policy. We have shown consistency and we can also boast of having worked from the opposition, and for the interest of our neighbors, doing serious and constructive work, without fuss and with respect to the institution of our City Council and its representatives.

“Your Rojales, my Rojales” is our motto, because the party of PADER will gather the concerns of the citizens when it comes to applying their duty in governmental actions.

This will be an autonomous determination of our formation, not depending on any slogan alien to the interests of our neighbors. Our daily work in these eight years has set our stamp and our own­­personality­when­ it­comes­to­ focusing­and­finding­solutions­ to­ the­different­problems­raised­ throughout the legislature.

And we will be very rigorous in the control of public accounts, because from that control is born the main objective of our political action: the effectiveness in the development of the different actions of our electoral program.

Rojaleros and Rojaleras: your Rojales, our Rojales.

Dear People of Rojales,

Desideria Aráez Clemente
