Zombie Populism – The Province

Zombie Populism – The Province

Pedro Martín is the first known zombie – a political zombie, of course – who is dying to be one. It is difficult to understand the reasons that led him to run as a socialist candidate for the Presidency of the Tenerife Council. Because Martín conscientiously hates his job. Obviously he arrived at that office without a project for the island and he is not entirely to blame. The Socialists had been governing for eight years with the Canarian Coalition, with Aurelio Abreu as the sleeping beauty, and without reflecting for a single minute on a social democratic strategy for the territory. Martín has also zombified the Tenerife PSOE and the local groups that register a minimum of internal activity act autonomously and do not pay damn attention to the ghostly island leadership. If he continues to claim the port of Fonsalía it is because it is a project that he already claimed as mayor of Guía de Isora from the superstitious belief that a port, any port, is a kind of cornucopia that spreads prosperity and happiness on the coast in the that is located and in all the bordering municipalities. Guía de Isora would become a communications node and everyone would be forced to go through Guía de Isora, as is the case with Pedro Martín. In his ardent apology, and to respond to the small evils of Valbuena, the president goes so far as to say that the Whale Sanctuary is foolish, because there have also been unfortunate clashes between whales and ships on the way between Tenerife and Gran Canaria . This good man believes that whales and dolphins only swim between Caleta de Adeje and Los Gigantes. However, I am left with another wonderful phrase from Martín: “It is more populist to oppose Fonsalía than to generate development.” Wow. Is generating development populist, although less than rejecting the Fonsalía project? Don’t you have any development and social cohesion strategy at hand that does not involve investing 60 million euros in another port? The first president of the Tenerife Council after 30 years has the port of Fonsalía as a star project? The zombie project of a zombie president. And how is it articulated or structured in the development of the rest of the island? Martín, of course, does not respond. Martín only hopes that the days, the weeks, the years that remain in his mandate pass as quickly as possible to return to Guía de Isora and get fed up with rocks.
