Milagros Tolón Jaime Toledo
Spain

Mayors and city councils are the public representatives closest to the life and reality of the citizens, being the first to whom they can turn in any circumstance, and at any moment. Proximity is a common characteristic of Mayors around the world. It is the basis of our public policies along with dialogue and a deep sense of commitment. This is why I see the OECD Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth initiative as a great opportunity, because by working in a network, and by knowing the initiatives of other mayors, we will also open up the horizons of our work to nurture Toledo’s future.

We, Mayors, have always played a leading role in the fight against inequalities in our cities, communities and countries. We have always maintained this leadership role, because we are the first to be on the side of the citizens. Now, by working together in this network, we will be able to share examples of good political practices that will help us, Toledo will always be ready to collaborate and share our work with other entities.”
