In response to a question from the Nationalist Group in the parliamentary committee, he commented that in the case of AIReF, which was commissioned to carry out a study on the economic costs, he said that they no longer carry out such work, and with respect to the ULL, that it is going to study the impact on mobility, have been delayed because they had other reports open on the volcanic crisis on La Palma.
For now, both the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), which analyzes the marine pollution of the project, and the Ministry itself, which will also provide its own report, are working.
Franquis assured that when all the reports are finished, he will deliver them to the opposition, and denied that the Government wants to flee from the debate or buy time since it is the administration that has wanted to “confront the problem” because the Island needs a port other than the one in Los Cristianos to improve mobility with the green islands. “Does not meet the conditions”he underlined.
The Government, in agreement with the Cabildo de Tenerife, is working on four alternatives: maintain the current situation, expand the port of Los Cristianos, use the port of Granadilla for inter-island traffic or build the port of Fonsalía.
The deputy Socorro Beato criticized the “lack of transparency and management” of the regional government, since six months after the commission it has “no file or reports”, and she wondered “how long do we have to keep waiting” to have a solution to mobility in The Christians.
Along these lines, he pointed out that it has returned to the “starting box” that confirms that the Government wants to “waste time” while the port of Los Cristianos “continues to collapse.”
