“Here in Castile and León we are more crazy than loud.” The saying that, turned around and brought closer to the ground, the regional president of the PP and the Junta intones like a pre-campaign motto, Alfonso Fernández Mañuecoto defend … political action against noise. And when these dates arrive, where dried fruits are not lacking on many tables due to their almost inextricable association with Christmas, the most popular ones bring the phrase even closer to their territory to congratulate the holiday with a video and, in doing so, review and extol the benefits of the earth.
“As you know, in our community the best nuts in Spain grow“, begins the recording of Mañueco, who emphasizes that precisely “this land reflects in one of its most symbolic fruits the traits that define its people”. From “the strength of the people of Avila”, to “the firmness of the people of Burgos, the determination of the people of León, the solidity of the people of Palencia”, as well as “the authenticity of the people of Salamanca, the dynamism of the people of Segovia, the perseverance of the people of Soriano”, he continues, while landscapes and monuments from each of the nine provinces are presented. In addition, the video with Mañueco’s voiceover adds “the strength of the people of Valladolid and the strength of the people of Zamorano”.
And as Christmas approaches, let us remember that precisely these nuts “are also a deeply rooted tradition” on the tables, “symbolizing reunion, union and prosperity”. “But what most defines this ancient fruit is that we have always known that what is valuable in him is inside», adds Mañueco. “When you think of a nut, it is never in its shell. This is why we want to appeal to this character who is so ours, so Castilian and so Leonese, to wish you that during these holidays the important thing is not the typos and that it is a Christmas in which we value more what we are and what we carry inside”, launches an appeal to the president of the PP.
“Foundation”, “truth”, “work”, “commitment”, “humility”, “simplicity”, “essence”, “effort” and “listening”, the nine values that so many other people put forward on this earth.
“Here, less noise and more nuts”concludes the Christmas greetings, Mañueco distributing bags containing the dried fruits that they previously packed at the PP headquarters.
