SAN SEBASTIAN DE LA GOMERA, June 4. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The spokesman for the Gomeran Socialist Group Parliamentary Group (ASG), Casimiro Curbelo, has highlighted the progress made by the Canary Islands during the 40 years that have passed since the approval of the first Statute of Autonomy and has called for facing the great pending challenges of the archipelago.
For this reason, next week he will address a question to the President of the Government, Ángel Víctor Torres, in the regional Parliament, where he will present the need to continue strengthening measures that have an impact on improving the quality of life of the citizens of the islands.
In a statement, Curbelo pointed out that these four decades “are a reflection of how Canarian society has evolved, what its strengths are and what weaknesses we continue to suffer from.”
Here, he recalled that “we are a fragmented territory with conditions marked by distance and deep structural deficits, linked to poverty and social exclusion”.
Similarly, he noted that the approval of the Statute and the progress made with the REF, “are evidence that we have opened a path to balance, solidarity between territories and well-being on the islands.”
However, he stressed that “we must assess what has not been achieved at this time and continue on the path of ecological transition, economic diversification and the promotion of job creation.”
