Rodríguez is an activist for LGBT rights, feminism and youth participation. She currently serves as CHA’s secretary for Feminism and Labor and is the national coordinator of Choventut Aragonesista. The candidate said she is entering this new stage “with tremendous enthusiasm and pride, with the aim of bringing Aragón’s voice to Madrid.”
The candidate has said she intends to represent Aragón against those who, in her view, relegate the region. In this regard, she has pledged to “fight those who regard us as a territory of neglect and sacrifice, who speculate with our homes, our mountains and our land, privatize our healthcare and education, build cities without trees and with souls made of concrete, and want our villages to remain empty.”
