In the recent local elections, José María Pérez Sánchez, a farmer by profession, has become the second most voted mayor of the PP in the Valencian Community, and the first in the province of Alicante. He begins his second term with a large absolute majority in a team of 14 councillors in a municipality of about 28,000 inhabitants.
The inauguration ceremony was held on Saturday in the Plenary Hall. It was also followed by hundreds of people watching it through a giant screen installed outside the Town Hall building.
