Caño and his right to vote in the Autonomous Courts. The Castilian Leonese Executive, who assured his "tranquility" and "absolute confidence" in the morning, turned on all the alarms in the afternoon.

"I am leaving a group without leadership, in which there is no teamwork, in which a few decide by all and with continuous changes of opinion regarding political decisions, some of great importance regarding the future of the community. "In the note, she also explained how she attended the 2019 elections" with enthusiasm "and convinced that" the change and regeneration would come "to Castilla y León" after more than three decades of Popular Party governments.
