AMF to unveil list in La Oliva led

The party incorporates a long‑standing local resident to launch a new political phase in the municipality

Asambleas Municipales de Fuerteventura (AMF) has welcomed Jerónimo Lozano Santana, known as Jero Santana, into its La Oliva grouping, in a move that clearly signals a political strategy ahead of the next electoral cycle. His registration as a member marks the entry of a well‑known local figure who is closely tied to the life of the town.

Born in 1977, Jero Santana belongs to a generation that has watched La Oliva change from within. His personal story is linked to a working‑class family involved in fishing and the service sector—two spheres that form part of Corralejo’s collective memory and the evolution the municipality has undergone over recent decades. His trajectory therefore blends the roots of a community that grew looking toward the sea with direct experience in a territory that now occupies a central position in the island’s economy and tourism map.

That connection to La Oliva is one of the key elements of his profile. Jero Santana does not arrive on the public stage as an outsider; he is a neighbour recognizable to several generations. For years his name was associated with fútbol majorero, where he defended the shirts of various Fuerteventura teams. That period helped forge an image linked to effort, perseverance and commitment—qualities that would accompany him in later roles as instructor, lifeguard and coach. His professional life has also been tied to sectors that are highly visible in everyday life in La Oliva, giving him a diverse yet unmistakably familiar work record for local residents.

“Jero Santana does not fit the profile of a candidate built in the laboratory of politics. He is a neighbour who has worked, adapted, and knows first‑hand the demands of a constantly evolving town.”

AMF sees the value of this incorporation precisely in that context. At a time when La Oliva faces challenges stemming from rapid growth and an increasingly complex social reality, the party is adding a person with deep roots, municipal memory and a direct relationship with the community’s fabric. Jero Santana’s entry into the project follows that logic: to add a voice linked to the territory and committed to a style of politics that is close, useful and attentive to the changes La Oliva has experienced in recent years.

During the presentation of his affiliation, Santana defended the need for La Oliva to regain prominence in the island’s geography through policies capable of meeting the challenges posed by its growth. This stance aligns with the purpose of his joining AMF and reinforces a core idea behind his profile: to step forward from a commitment to the town’s roots, ensuring that development is integrated without losing its identity.

With this move, Asambleas Municipales de Fuerteventura begins to shape in La Oliva a strategy grounded in local attachment, municipal knowledge and closeness to residents’ everyday lives. The eventual designation of Jero Santana to lead this proposal will be confirmed shortly by the party’s competent bodies.
