Center Unificat doesn't want to know anything about Citizens. After the statement issued on Wednesday by the orange formation on their attendance, alone, in the municipal elections of May, the party that currently presides Pepa Font has decided "break all kinds of negotiations" with Citizens, with whom they affirm that they had been meeting since last summer.
According to centrists, Citizens "It has not been sincere because it was never the formation of Center Unificat that contacted Citizens to carry out this coalition. It was their regional bodies that last summer began negotiations with CU, ensuring that these contacts were authorized at the highest level of the orange formation, and that would not happen again as in the previous elections of the year 2015, in which integration was hindered by the members of CDL and formerly PSD, who have just joined the Dianense group ".
After several meetings, they were told that the interlocutor became the local organ, "With the surprise that it is the local group that continues to hinder, hindering the only condition that was placed on the negotiators at the regional level, the head of the list should be agreed by both parties", they say from CU.
They do not consider Sergio Benito to be the best candidate
Center Unificat denounces that "On the part of Ciudadanos, it was explained that there was only one candidacy to head the lists, which in the end has not been certain. There was another candidacy presented and that at all times it was hidden from us, with the sole objective of not bringing to fruition negotiation, knowing that Center Unificat considered that Sergio Benito was not a consensus candidate ".
In the meeting last week, Sergio Benito himself proposes to attend together under the acronym of Citizens, with him as a candidate and offering the number 2, and despite the "suspicion" that they affirm from CU, it is decided to continue with the negotiations.
But everything breaks on Wednesday afternoon, when a statement is issued from the orange formation "lacking style and truthfulness". At that time when Center Unificat decides to break relations and negotiations with citizens Dénia.
Since CU they regret that Sergio Benito's party has been wasted "A golden opportunity to occupy a center space in our city is a shame, only for personal aspirations".
At the moment it is not known which way Center Unificat will take. The formation will meet again in the coming days to study the possibility of presenting alone.
