The spokesperson for Ciudadanos (Cs) in the Cabildo de Tenerife, Enrique Arriaga, regrets that “My statements in the media have been misinterpreted and used as a tool to try to discredit me in front of my colleagues”. To which he adds that “although the collaboration of the officials is absolute, there are very specific cases of lack of cooperation.”
In this regard, Arriaga has clarified that “As a civil servant I defend the independence and professionalism of my colleagues, which is exemplary, but it is no less true that there are black peas who want to do politics from the public function.” And he emphasizes that “whoever wants to do politics must appear on a list and not hinder the Administration in the processing of files and projects. They must be brave and not hide in a position to boycott the government’s action ”.
Either way, the leader of the Liberals, island councilor and vice president of the Cabildo apologizes to anyone who has felt offended or upset with his statements on Radio Marca. “I had to be more specific and not leave room for speculation or misinterpretation,” he insisted.
“I want to value the work of my colleagues and thank them for the effort they have made, especially the one they have carried out since the arrival of the pandemic to be able to implement measures that will alleviate the economic and labor crisis that the Covid has generated . Much remains to be done and their work is fundamental, we know that they will continue with the same impetus ”, it is finished.
