Canarian Coalition of Puerto de la Cruz revalidated its confidence in Sandra Rodríguez to lead the nationalist candidacy for Mayor of the tourist city in May 2023. About 200 people attended the assembly in which it was agreed, by acclamation, to designate the former mayor and current municipal spokesperson as a CC candidate in the next municipal elections. After her election, Sandra Rodríguez showed “great joy” at once again being the candidate for mayor “supported by my people.” For the former mayor, it will be “a great honor and also a great responsibility.”
Rodríguez declared that he takes on the challenge of “leading this Canarian Coalition team in Puerto de la Cruz with the conviction that another way of governing is possible, that there is human material in CC to govern and that we have a political project for Puerto de la Cruz. exciting, realistic and possible”. In his opinion, «it is the moment for Puerto de la Cruz and it is the moment for the Canarian Coalition. We are in time to recover the trust of the people of Porto, to continue showing that we are the alternative to this municipal government, as we have done when we have governed, but also in these years in the opposition, in which the work of CC has dismantled the lies of the municipal government of the PSOE, in addition to setting the course of the political debate, taking several proposals to the plenary every month thinking only of the well-being of the people of Porto.
Rodríguez stressed that Puerto de la Cruz “does not deserve a government of photo albums and Saturday night fever. Puerto de la Cruz does not deserve a government that while it does not spare a single euro in parties, concerts and street bachata that they intend to disguise as culture, the self-employed and SMEs suffer the consequences of the inaction and inefficiency of the PSOE and ACP. Puerto de la Cruz does not deserve to reject proposals that have to do with plans for job, with direct support for students, with tax breaks, and with a long etcetera of issues that have kept the city in an unbearable lethargy in these four years, which day by day engulfs the citizens more and more in hopelessness and despair. And neither do our young people, who demand much more than parties every weekend.”
The event was attended by the Island Secretary General of the CC of Tenerife, Francisco Linares; the secretary of Organization, nationalist deputy and future CC candidate for the Cabildo de Tenerife, Rosa Dávila; the island counselor Diana Mora; the local secretary general of CC in Guía de Isora, Ana Dorta; the Secretary of Communication of CC de Tenerife, David Benítez, and the nationalist councilor of Puerto de la Cruz, Alonso Acevedo.
Rosa Dávila assured that Puerto de la Cruz “has suffered the worst municipal government in history at the worst moment in history, despite the fact that it was in the best conditions to face future challenges. But even in this way they have not been able to manage, nor what was ready to be executed, nor to make decisions and political initiatives beyond the paralysis of the pier, the San Francisco park, the remodeling of Playa Martiánez, the tunnel works de Martiánez and the Eastern highway, as well as the Las Arenas-El Botánico highway.
Dávila advanced his commitment from the Cabildo to resume “all the investments planned in the past mandate that had their financial file and projects in Puerto de la Cruz, such as the San Francisco Park, the Martiánez Beach, the road agreement and the dock ».
