The citizen coordinator Teruel Existe has far exceeded the guarantees necessary to stand for the November 10 elections as a group of voters.

I needed 1% of the census, that is 1,100 signatures. However, as reported Tuesday the coordinator has collected 6,781 signatures, 6.34% of the electoral roll of the province.

Likewise, Teruel Existe has presented the names of the people who will go on their lists to Congress and Senate. Tomás Guitarte will be number one in Congress, accompanied by Manuel Gimeno , one of the spokespersons for the coordinator, and Ana Balaguer Barrachina . The Senate Joaquín Egea , Beatriz Martín and Alba Polo aspire.

After 20 years of claims, Teruel Existe has considered that, to achieve the objectives, he only had to have a presence in the institutions and that is why he decided to run for the elections.

Two decades of claims

The Teruel Existe citizen movement was born two decades ago spontaneously, plurally, independently and by opening its doors to all social organizations, groups, associations or private citizens who, regardless of their political ideology, would like to join it and contribute their work in the common objective of fighting for a future for the province of Teruel and claiming to the Public Administrations a greater investment attention in infrastructures and services.

From that confluence emerged the six programmatic points that still appear today in their Christmas lottery: "A quality, safe and fast rail transport; road communications of the 21st century; effective emergency assistance and sanitary transport; mental health assistance integrated in the national health system and adjusted to the law, plans that maintain employment in the province and prevent its progressive depopulation due to lack of future, and quality education with a greater university projection ".

Its main objectives have always been to make the province's problems known to all governments and to the European Union; raise public awareness that we must fight and claim to solve them, and whenever it is in their hands try to find solutions.

An intense first year

In the first year, the coordinator starred in a silent five-minute strike in Teruel capital on December 1, 1999, which was followed by a demonstration throughout the province with more than 30,000 protesters in February 2000.

On March 2 of that year all the numbers one of the Turolenses political parties (PP, PSOE, PAR , CHA and IU) signed a Pact for Teruel prior to the election campaign, committing that once the General Courts were constituted they would urge their political groups to transform the six points of the manifesto into legislative initiatives.

After the elections, the campaign "Teruel in the budgets now!" collected 107,000 signatures that were delivered to the Congress of Deputies in October 2000. In the absence of appropriation in the Budgets of that year they called the general strike on November 29 of that year.

Teruel Existe has always been at the forefront of the demands and the mobilizations of the Empty Spain , such as the five-minute strike last Friday.

The province of Turolense registered a thousand concentrations in towns, the capital, counties, companies, schools, squares. In Aragon there were 2,500 and in 23 Spanish provinces 10,000, with a global unemployment of 300,000 people, according to the organizers.
