The spokesman for Ciudadanos (Cs) in the Cabildo, and vice president and counselor for Mobility, Enrique Arriaga, finally decided to withdraw the motion that he had presented to yesterday’s plenary session to urge the State to include the Southern train line in the Railway Network of General Interest. “It is a pity that there is no consensus on such an important issue. We have presented the same motion in the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and there has been unanimity, and here there is not. And I think it is important that there is a consensus”, argued Arriaga. So he announced that he was going to “withdraw the motion to implement that consensus with all forces.”

During his speech, Arriaga had defended the benefits for the Island of this infrastructure and that the motion was only “an administrative procedure” prior, so that later, when the island plan for sustainable mobility is finished, “to be able to make the decision to request financing in case it goes ahead.”

“Count on us for consensus, to talk about sustainable mobility, to support the Bus-HOV lanes, to see how to favor public transport and how to make real citizen participation,” replied the spokesperson for Sí Podemos Canarias, María José Belda, before the withdrawal of the motion. Party that, last Wednesday, had already warned that it would break the government pact with the PSOE if it supported said motion.
During the debate, Belda criticized Arriaga who, “without waiting for the mobility plan to end, launches with this proposal.” “For us this is a red line, and you knew it, and for this to go ahead means a break with the pact we had with the PSOE,” he emphasized.

Meanwhile, from the PSOE, Javier Rodríguez, who had asked Arriaga to withdraw the motion in search of that consensus and dialogue with other administrations, offered him “the will” of the PSOE “to reach agreements.” In the debate he recalled that “the president of the Cabildo has been clear: right now it is not a priority for the Island. At this time we understand that the solution has to be high-capacity collective transportation, through a Bus-HOV lane.”

From the opposition, Félix Fariña (CC) criticized Arriaga for “his pulse trembling.” “We were going to vote in favor, and that is how the PP expressed it, and there was enough force for it to go ahead, but Sí Podemos Canarias has won with its announcements that it would break the pact.” In this line, from the PP, Manuel Fernández, denounced that “this government team, at the warning of a government partner, withdraws a motion that they themselves present.” “Here there has been a lack of courage on the part of the Cs spokesman, courage at the expense of his position,” he emphasized.

On the other hand, the insular counselor of Social Action, Marián Franquet, assured yesterday, in an appearance, that the Cabildo is advancing in the processing of 18 socio-sanitary centers.

There will be no subsidies for entities that discriminate against women

The insular plenary yesterday approved an institutional motion, at the proposal of the PSOE, by which it is agreed that “the Cabildo and its entities undertake not to grant subsidies to entities that in their statutes establish any discrimination against women and discriminate on the basis of sex. in strict compliance with current legislation. In addition, “the Cabildo will urge all associations and private entities in Tenerife, especially those that finance some of their projects with public funds, to initiate a process of reviewing their statutes and internal regulations.”

Likewise, the Plenary also approved another institutional motion, at the proposal of the PSOE, by which the Cabildo agrees “to roundly condemn the statements of Bishop Bernando Álvarez produced in the media on January 19, in which he referred to homosexuality in a pejorative and demeaning way”.
