Both seem very excited and were seen on Monday, in fact, in the Valladolid-Getafe party, caramelized along with more politicians such as Juan García-Gallardo, of Vox, and the mayor of the city, Óscar Puente.

Precisely LOC did an interview a year ago to the new love of the councilor. Emilio Froján (Caldas de Reis, 1991) is a political scientist by training, but he discovered his passion for the automotive industry while working for the Swedish company Voi Technology at its headquarters in Germany.

Employed in one of the leading electric micromobility companies in Europe, he decided to import this idea to Spain under the firm Velca. "We started in a parking space, not an entire garage," he joked, parodying the typical American story of the tech entrepreneur.

After analyzing the needs of their consumers, Froján and his team knew in which direction they should lead their business. "We noticed that our bikes had to have a removable battery that could be charged in any household outlet," he told LOC. The CEO assured that its batteries last more than six years and can be powered like any mobile phone. "We also rematerialized all the components. So the negative impact on the environment tends to zero."

Let's say that Andrea, well, is with a vendemotos, but not with a vendehumos. Sus mopeds were born with the commitment to curb gas emissions and eliminate the acoustic impact in cities. " Air pollution causes twenty times more deaths than traffic accidents," he says. "We care a lot about climate action, but even more about people's health," he says. "We are now working on creating electric bikes, which are even more sustainable than motorcycles," CEO said. To acquire its vehicles, the startup Velca offers the option of buying or renting, also online.

Emilio Froján was born in Caldas de Reis, a town in Galicia. He says his parents instilled in him values such as "generosity, effort and commitment." However, his mother wanted him to be a civil servant. "And look where I've ended up," he told this supplement. He looks like a good boy and on top of that, so Levy has to be happy. Of all her boyfriends (Manuel Jabois, Nacho Vegas, Pepe Gallardón or Rodrigo Sorogoyen), this is the one that seems to hit her the most.

Frojan told this newspaper that he had invested his youth in this project and that his social life was limited to dinners in the evenings after long working days, even on weekends. Now he shares them with the councilor.
