<p>In her speech, Mayor Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Garc\u00eda-Pelayo presented the strength of a collective challenge that will transform the city through culture and defended the opportunity to rethink Europe from the south, from a territory that is an example of multicultural integration and coexistence. “We are firmly committed to a cultural, innovative, job-creating, sustainable, rural, inclusive, and social Jerez. These are the goals and objectives of our strategy as a city,” she stated.<\/p><\/span><\/p>\n

<p>For her part, the President of the Provincial Council, Almudena Mart\u00ednez del Junco, emphasized that C\u00e1diz is a province that is home to a diverse and inclusive culture.<\/p><\/span><\/p>\n

<p>The Rector of the University of C\u00e1diz, Casimiro Mantell, stated that “we want to be part of this project, contributing to the design and planning of the candidacy file. A commitment that goes beyond mere corporate social responsibility, our vocation for public service, or interaction with all the stakeholders in our environment. To achieve this, we can count on the more than 6,000 people who make up the dynamic and qualified university community of the UCA Jerez Campus.” An essential campus for a city strategy that prioritizes the ecosystem and heritage where assets and values \u200b\u200bsuch as wine, land, culture, and flamenco converge.”<\/p><\/span><\/p>\n

<p>The president of the Jerez Chamber of Commerce, Javier S\u00e1nchez Rojas, explained that the candidacy is an “opportunity to implement strategies that ensure a lasting cultural, social, and economic impact for the future development of Jerez and its surrounding area,” recalling that “the vocation to embrace the entire territory has been clear from the beginning.”<\/p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
