María del Mar Marín began her speech by highlighting that assuming the position of mayor is "the greatest privilege and the greatest responsibility that someone born in Cortegana can have" and highlighting "unconditional love for her people" as the main reason that led her to lead a project that aims to "make Cortegana a better place".
The mayoress has influenced "the enormous responsibility" with which she takes office as mayor and her desire "to respond to expectations by giving my best in this term."
Martín has explained that he conceives "the mayor's office as a privileged tool, probably the best, to be able to launch a solid and future project that improves the lives of all Corteganes" and has sent a message of unity to the entire corporation "to be allies, park the tension and focus on constructive dialogue".
In the last municipal elections, the PP obtained seven of the 11 councilors in contention for the Cortegana City Council, compared to the three obtained by the PSOE and the one obtained by Adelante.
