In a recent statement, Muñoz mentioned that he would be willing to take on that challenge if proposed to him.

Regarding possible controversial stances, such as the LGBTIQ+ agenda, Muñoz emphasized the importance of respecting the diversity of opinions in a democratic society. In relation to recalls, Muñoz highlighted the difficulty of achieving them due to the required percentage of signatures, stating that the city must be very upset or the mayor must have done something serious for that number of signatures to be reached. Finally, regarding the accusations against Avi Dan On, Muñoz emphasized that there is no evidence proving Dan On's connection to Barata, stressing the importance of transparency and truthfulness in politics.
