Son (political Party)
SON is a Galician political party created in 2015, promoted by Renewal–Nationalist Brotherhood (Anova) and United Left to participate in the local elections of the same year. Its purpose is to provide legal support to those groups that, for legal reasons, had no possibility to run in the elections of their municipality. Likewise, SON also seeks to gain representation in the provincial deputations. In practice it is an "instrumental" party, without permanent bodies, and whose only objective is to support local candidacies. Election results After the local elections, SON gained the mayoralties of Cangas, Ferrol, Manzaneda, Teo and Val do Dubra. In 2016, after a motion of no confidence, Son also gained the mayoralty of Mugardos.Carla Elías/Ángel BlancoPilar Díaz llega a la alcaldía de Mugardos.La Voz de Galicia ''La Voz de Galicia'' ( en, The Voice of Galicia) is a Spanish daily newspaper owned by the Corporación Voz de Galicia.
