Schedule change

LIKE all towns across Spain, Albox is gearing up for the upcoming local elections. And amid the excitement, a new candidate has emerged, promising to shake things up and bring about positive change for the people and animals of Albox.

Mary Trinidad Segovia is running for the PSOE on a manifesto promising better animal rights and welfare care. Supporters say her support for animal welfare contrasts with the current mayor’s stance which includes support for bullfighting.

Supporters also highlight Trinidad Segovia’s commitment to foreign residents in Albox, which has seen her release promotional material in English and Spanish.

In a video released on Wednesday, March 1, Trinidad Segovia outlines her manifesto which includes a range of policies to ensure better care for lost and abandoned animals. One such policy is the creation of an Animal Protection Centre, managed directly by the town hall or with animal protec­ tion charities.

Trinidad Segovia’s candidacy is also significant because, if elected, she’ll be the first woman to occupy the post of mayor in Albox. Her supporters see this as a welcome change, and they believe Mary’s fresh perspective and innovative ideas are just what the municipality needs.
