How we work The PSPV-PSOE councillor in Gata de Gorgos, Toni Signes, appeared before the media on Monday to address his political future. According to his own words, he estimates at 90% the probability of once again running in the socialist primary elections before the next municipal elections: "We will hold primaries, as we always do within the party when the time comes. And, in this case, I think I will present myself to the primaries".
Signes took office as mayor in December 2025, replacing Josep Francesc Signes Costa, who had been elected with the four votes of Compromís and three from the PSPV, resulting from the government agreement between both parties. The current mayor stressed that his immediate priority is municipal management: "Right now I am focused on the Town Hall and on trying to make all the projects progress as quickly as possible, but also with the utmost seriousness and doing things as best as possible".
A consolidating pact
Regarding the government coalition, Signes believed that the socialist project in the municipality has gained strength regardless of who leads it: "Fortunately we have overcome it and I think that a project is consolidating itself in the population on the part of the Socialist Party that does not depend solely on the person who presents themselves". Asked about a possible scenario with several internal candidacies, he defended seeking understanding first: "When there is more than one candidacy, the first thing that should always be attempted, in my opinion, is the integration of the candidacies".
At the institutional level, the Town Hall launched a few weeks ago the first meeting of a Spokespersons' Council designed to channel dialogue with the opposition. Signes justified this mechanism by recalling that "the opposition also represents a part of the population".
The national backdrop
Hours before the mayor's appearance, Pedro Sánchez had announced the calling of general elections for 29 November. Asked about the state political situation, Signes backed the management of the central Government and pointed to economic indicators: "If we look at the country's macroeconomic figures, the country is not doing badly".
