The People's Party of Gran Canaria has embarked on a new political phase with Carlos Sánchez as insular president, focused on reinforcing territorial presence and local governance to become the majority force on the island again.

Following the designation of Carlos Sánchez as the new insular president, the People's Party of Gran Canaria has launched a new organizational phase. The newly formed insular leadership held its first meeting with the aim of strengthening the party's territorial implantation, boosting local governance through local organizations, and consolidating a political project that is close to and recognizable by the island's citizens.
The new executive, created with the objective of "reinforcing the party's territorial presence, strengthening local governance through local organizations, and consolidating a political project that is close, useful, and recognizable to the people of Gran Canaria," according to statements by Carlos Sánchez himself, has already defined its organizational chart. Mónica Nuez will assume the General Secretariat, Felipe Afonso will be the insular coordinator, and Ángel Sabroso will serve as Deputy Secretary of Organization and Communication, as well as insular spokesperson. Completing the initial structure are Elena Álamo (Deputy Secretary of Sectorial Action), Jaime del Busto (Mobilization and Electoral Action), and Miguel Jorge (Deputy Secretary of Insular and Local Political Action).
The popular party has announced that the structure will be completed in the coming days with new executive secretariats, emphasizing that the executive will be marked by "openness, integration, and a governing vocation." Carlos Sánchez stressed the need for the People's Party to "once again become the great meeting point for the Gran Canarian center-right" and to "take a step forward" to regain political and institutional weight on the island. The main objective is to build a broad project, closely aligned with the reality of each municipality, reinforcing proximity work and local implantation.
In the coming weeks, the new organizational structure will initiate a series of contacts with local organizations, public officials, affiliates, and social and economic groups from all over Gran Canaria. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the insular project and prepare for upcoming electoral challenges.
