The former president of Cantabria, Miguel Ángel Revilla, traveled this Friday to León to perform, together with the mayor of the city, José Antonio Diez, the lighting of the Christmas village of the Azaila 1930 bar, located in the neighborhood of La Palomera, where he joined the intonation of the anthem of León.
“I don’t know what you see in me, because it is quite common that everywhere in Spain welcomes me very well, but León is special because León is a land where I like to come, that’s why I come when I follow it. guest and I will talk about León in the next program El Hormiguero it doesn’t matter who comes,” Revilla commented to the hundreds of people gathered at the gates of the establishment to welcome him with applause.
At almost 82 years old, the politician was “very enthusiastic” about having devoted himself “out of devotion” to politics for half his life. “My land was called Santander and they located it in a territory that they taught me was Old Castile, which you know well and I dedicated myself to fighting to recover the name of Cantabria and obtain the autonomy”, he recalled, while He recognized that the best thing that can remain in life is “a good image that your children and grandchildren enjoy”, convinced that “what remains is in genetics of the family.”
The one who was president of Cantabria for more than two decades was accompanied by the mayor of León, José Antonio Diez, who declared that “with the all-powerful figure of Revilla, everything is eclipsed.” Likewise, he mentioned to the owner of the establishment, Juan López, as “an example of what the city wants to be”, He would therefore have liked to be able to witness the traditional lighting of the Christmas village of Azaila 1930 “for many more years”, reports Ical.
A Christmas village which, as Juan López recalls, began with “two-euro houses” until they reach “the assembly of a crèche costing almost 7,000 euros” and bringing in “the mayor of the city,” whom he described as “the most beloved man in the Barrio de la Palomera.” He also said he was very sure that “with the participation this year of Miguel Ángel Revilla”, the establishment “will reach the top”.
