SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Sep 13 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The spokesman for the Parliamentary Group Agrupación Socialista Gomera (ASG), Casimiro Curbelo, has requested this Monday the realization of a multi-year investment plan endowed with 40 million euros to improve the operation of the port of Los Cristianos, including the reorganization of vehicle traffic between the enclosure and the TF-1, as well as actions on the current dike.
“We cannot delay the solution any longer. It is clear that there is a blockade with the Fonsalía project, which ASG has always defended as a real alternative. Given what happened, it is time to move forward and I will transfer to the Government of the Canary Islands the proposal to include items for this purpose in the budgets of 2022 “, announced Curbelo, who warned that, if this approach is not considered, it will be a requirement within the preparation of public accounts.
The regional deputy explained that this alternative has been made public after the events of recent months, in which “a firm attempt to block the Fonsalía project has been palpated, with changes of criteria of practically all of the political parties “, to which he added” that this fact, before knowing the studies commissioned, is produced more by political strategy than by the general interest of the citizens. “
Thus, he appealed for understanding and unity of action to end a “problem that is not new”, and suffered by passengers who enter and leave Tenerife through this port area.
In this sense, he pointed out that the road improvements, as well as those works that can be undertaken in the port, “must go hand in hand with the coordination of the traffic of the ships that operate there.”
In this way, he rejected the proposals to transfer the operations to Granadilla and described as “nonsense” the bet to reorganize the maritime traffic from the ‘green islands’ to Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
“We are not willing to go back on such a momentous issue as communications. It is time to address this reality and not make citizens more dizzy,” he concluded.
