PSOE Marbella’s General Secretary Highlights the Uniqueness of the Celebration
The General Secretary of PSOE Marbella, José Bernal, emphasized that they are the only party that celebrates Andalusia Day in Marbella. He stated that the celebration is usually held in Paco Cantos square, which is also the Andalusia square, where Marbella residents gathered on December 3, 1977, to demand autonomy. He pointed out that the day is about “defending the achievements made” and recalled that during his term as mayor, this area of the Divina Pastora neighborhood was revitalized.
