In his address, López Aguilar emphasized the European Parliament’s role as a directly elected, supranational, and law-making institution that works in the interest of its constituents, including those from the Canary Islands. He highlighted the parliament’s pivotal role in addressing major global and regional challenges such as climate change, global warming, and the protection of fundamental rights.
López Aguilar’s career has been marked by his commitment to the European social model, which seeks to combat inequality and discrimination while promoting a digital agenda and the regulation of artificial intelligence. “The European Parliament is the scale of answer you deserve,” he stated, underlining the importance of the parliament in providing necessary resources to fulfill the aspirations of its citizens.
The call to action was particularly directed at foreign residents in the Canary Islands, reminding them of their entitlement to vote just as any other Spaniards or residents. This inclusivity in voting rights ensures that all residents have a voice in shaping the policies that directly affect their lives and the environment around them.
López Aguilar’s appeal was clear: to support the Socialist Party in the upcoming elections. He assured voters that the party is dedicated to representing them with dignity and responding to the trust placed in them by the electorate.
As the elections approach, the significance of each vote cannot be overstated, especially in a time when European solidarity and decisive action on social and environmental issues are more crucial than ever. López Aguilar and the Socialist Party hope to continue their work in fostering a fair, equitable, and sustainable Europe.
Residents of the Canary Islands are encouraged to make their voices heard on June 9 by participating in the European elections and contributing to the democratic process that shapes the future of the continent.
In closing, López Aguilar thanked his constituents for their continued support and trust, underscoring his commitment to serve and represent their interests in the European Parliament. With the elections just around the corner, his message is a reminder of the power of democratic engagement and the impact it can have on both local and international stages.
