An hour after the end of the event, both agreed at the entrance of the hotel where the event was held.

"When we present the candidacy we make a colloquium in front of the militants and that it is the militants who decide," he said.

The meeting was closed with kind words between both party members. "Thank you for coming and thanks for the work you do," Arrimadas said, adding that, as vice president, Igea is doing a "fantastic" job. "Whatever happens we will continue to be united, reinforced and forward, respecting the result of militancy," the spokeswoman concluded.
