Podemos advocates clear and sustained support for Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto

The board of Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto, led by president Juanjo Bataller, met this afternoon with three representatives of the city’s new Podemos candidacy, namely lead candidate Sergio Moreno and his colleagues Ainhoa Alberola and Kepa Basabe, who expressed their support for the red-and-white club. This was the sixth meeting the club has held with a political candidacy. The board hopes to meet with the remaining candidacies standing in the forthcoming local elections on 26 May.

During the meeting, president Juanjo Bateller outlined the club’s current situation: it is fighting to gain promotion back to Asobal and will organise the promotion stage at the Ovni to return to the highest tier of Spanish handball, from which it were relegated last season.

For his part, Podemos candidate Sergio Moreno stated on behalf of his party that “We advocate clear and sustained support from the municipal institution for local handball, mediating in the signing of sponsorship agreements with companies, urging higher institutions to provide support, and maintaining named allocations in the municipal budgets to guarantee the viability of our clubs, while always respecting their independence.”

“We are grateful to Balonmano Puerto for its work promoting social cohesion and healthy lifestyle habits, which are fully in keeping with the city model we want: a city that looks after its residents.” Moreno added.
