Montserrat Candini has decided to end her stage as mayor of Calella. This morning, through the municipal registry, a letter has entered in which she announces that she is leaving the mayor's office and that she also resigns from the act of councilor. She closes like this, 11 years as the first female mayor of the Consistory.

Candini assures that “the disease that I have been suffering from for months and that I am being treated for, is evolving very favorably but requires a longer time for its definitive control. This -continues Candini- prevents me from being able to dedicate myself to the city with all the strength and drive that it requires and which is what I had done until recently”.

In an appearance in the Plenary Hall of the City Council accompanied by the entire government, Candini thanked the work of his teammates during these years and also the colleagues from the Consistory who have been in opposition. “This is a team effort. Great transformations are never the work of one person, they are the work of an entire team. Those of us who are primarily responsible for leading and assuming responsibilities, but the projects belong to the groups and teams. From the governments that carry them out – he adds – and from the opposition groups that qualify, complement or amend them; they belong to everyone”.

In this speech he explained that his only political interest has always been the well-being of people, the progress and projection of Calella and the plenitude of Catalonia. "I humbly believe that he left behind a better Calella than the one I found." (...) “For me it has been an honor and a privilege to be Mayor for 11 years and, once again, my most sincere thanks to all the teams of councilors who have accompanied me during this time. Thanks also -he says- to the civil servants and professionals who have facilitated this task". Likewise, Mayor Montserrat Candini wishes luck and success to the next mayor of the city, a position that has accidentally been held by the first deputy mayor, Marc Buch.
