Complaints from Alcorcón sports clubs over a rally by Pedro Sánchez, which has forced the cancellation of numerous matches

The holding of a rally by Pedro Sánchez tomorrow at the Los Cantos Sports Center has aroused the indignation of the Alcorcón sports clubs, which have been forced to cancel numerous matches overnight.

The socialist mayor, Candelaria Testa, has given the space to the President of the Government to present his electoral program, which has forced the clubs to look for alternative facilities, modify matches and cancel activities that have been scheduled for some time.

Among the affected clubs are the Alcorcón Unified Volleyball Club, the AD Alcorcón Futsal Room and the Saltium Alcorcón Basket. The latter has even had to give up celebrating Club Day, one of the most important events of its season.

Pedro Moreno, spokesperson for Vox in Alcorcón, denounces that 56 matches have been canceled and those that had moved to the Santo Domingo sports center have also had to be suspended due to the leaks that the venue is suffering from.

"It is shameful that the clubs have been notified from one day to the next and that 83 matches have had to be cancelled," he censures.

Moreno denounces that personnel from the Sports Department are being used to organize Sánchez's rally and place the chairs. "It is clearly absurd that City Hall officials are used for a partisan rally. Instead of fixing the problem of leaks, they are putting up flags for Sánchez," he criticizes.

The PP also accused the mayor "of having allowed the organization of a PSOE event to interfere with municipal sports programming, transferring the consequences of this decision to the clubs, athletes and families of the city."

As reported by the PP in a statement, the request presented by the PSOE of Alcorcón - officially registered at the City Council on November 6 - requests the use of the Los Cantos Sports Center today and tomorrow.

"Due to a partisan decision, just a few days before its celebration, official competitions are altered, alternative pavilions are forced to be found and activities organized for weeks are cancelled," insisted the PP spokesperson and candidate for Mayor, Roberto Marín Vergara.

The popular leader has stressed that the Alcorcón City Council has other municipal spaces and there are premises authorized for electoral events by the Electoral Board, so "sports clubs do not have to assume the consequences of the needs of a political party, no matter who comes."

The Alcorcón City Council assures that "the municipal spaces are available to all political parties that carry out their electoral actions."

"The Popular Party's complaints may respond more to frustration at not being able to promote an act like this at the national level, but we do not respond to envy or childish attitudes, we act with dialogue and with respect for a citizenry that has the right to participate in this campaign and the democratic principles of our country. Alcorcón is lucky to have the visit of Pedro Sánchez this weekend," municipal sources stated.
