González defines himself as a ‘loyal, sensitive and rigorous’ person, with the aim that these values guide his decisions at the head of the town hall. His training in pedagogy and his experience in the educational field will be fundamental to the approach he wants to give to his management.
A connection with the community
The new mayor has always been active in the community, with notable involvement in civic organizations and student movements. This connection with citizens is one of his strengths, which he hopes to use to promote a closer and more accessible government.
A well-defined political trajectory
