SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 6 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The president of the PP of the Canary Islands, Manuel Domínguez, has proposed this Wednesday to the President of the Government, Ángel Víctor Torres, to close “partial agreements” in the remainder of the Legislature given that the current Executive is going to exhaust the mandate and his party is not in a strategy of “breaking” the ‘Pact of Las Flores’.
Speaking to journalists at the end of the meeting, he said that “the defense” made by Torres of the Minister of Social Rights, Noemí Santana (Yes We Can), with such “bad management” shows that the Government “is going to go ahead”.
Along these lines, he has indicated that even if Santana falls, the PP is not going to promote any motion of censure because the Canary Islands cannot endure “one more row” or continue “in free fall” in the midst of the economic crisis derived from the pandemic and the rise in inflation.
Domínguez has shown the “predisposition” of the popular to reach agreements because the citizens demand “responsibility” and that an “adult policy” be practiced and in that sense, he has highlighted that the PP of the Canary Islands “must set an example of responsibility” .
For this reason, he has proposed to Torres the reduction that customers who consume more than 10 kilowatt hours are exempt from paying the IGIC, a measure that would benefit, among others, supermarkets, cafeterias or restaurants.
Domínguez considers it “essential” that there be fiscal relief at this time and although he anticipates that there will be no agreement, he has advanced that work teams will be formed between the PP and the PSOE in order to reach other specific agreements, in line with what He is going to offer this Thursday to the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.
In addition, he has pointed out that any formation that has institutional representation in the Canary Islands “must make the national leadership of their parties see” the remoteness, not only physical, of the Canary Islands, in matters such as irregular immigration or financing.
“We have not gone into depth but we are very far from the national reality,” he detailed.
All in all, Domínguez has highlighted the “outstretched hand” of the PP to reach agreements as he already raised in the last ‘Debate on the State of Nationality’ given that it is a “responsible, serious and adult party” that puts the interests of the Canary Islands first, although some of his voters “don’t get it.
