CC strikes out “incomprehensible” and “difficult to explain” for the PP electorate that the leaders of this party have reached an agreement with the PSOE in the council of Tenerife to support the insular budgets presented by the government team of Pedro Martín. The general secretary of the nationalist formation, Fernando Clavijoand the regional deputy and candidate for this party for the presidency of the council in the next island elections, Rosa Davilacoincide in considering this budget agreement as an “endorsement” of the PP to “all the disastrous management” of Martín at the head of the institution and that this operation “will not be understood by the voters” of the formation led in Canary Islands by Manuel Dominguez.
“There is no measure in the budgets for the Island that justifies the support of the PP. They are budgets that, even in their territorial distribution with the municipalities, do not obey the needs of Tenerife, and now it is clear that CC is the only formation that had alternative budgets”, affirms the top nationalist leader and regional senator. “You cannot approve budgets and then negotiate, as the PP is doing. We have been left alone as an alternative to the PSOE government with Podemos and citizens in Tenerife” emphasizes Clavijo, who considers that this agreement “is good for voters to draw conclusions and know when they go to vote that this circumstance can occur, that they know that their vote will go to the PSOE, that it will serve to govern the PSOE”.
Along the same lines, the second vice president of the Parliament of the Canary Islands and nationalist candidate for the presidency of the Tenerife council, points out: “That the PP gives its endorsement to a terrible management of the PSOE and gives oxygen to the government of Pedro Martín is something that PP voters must judge. They will know if their electorate may like this support or not. Dávila assures in this sense that “After three years of poor management and the paralysis of Tenerife, giving it this oxygen ball is incomprehensible above all for the electorate of the PP, which becomes co-responsible for the management of the council by the socialists”.
According to the nationalist leader, the budget to which the PP gives its support “maintains a clear investor imbalance throughout the island, nor do they respond to the needs of the island in every way”, for which he claims not to understand “how the PP, five months after the elections and with an electorate radically different from that of the PSOE, endorses Pedro Martin”. “They will be the ones who will have to explain themselves to their constituents.” “In Madrid they have a radical discourse against the PSOE government, but in Tenerife they throw their principles and values overboard for an agreement with a party that is at the antipodes,” Dávila highlights. “It is good that the voters of the PP and the PSOE know that these two formations are giving mutual support”, concludes Clavijo for his part before considering that “the only alternative to Pedro Martín in Tenerife is Rosa Dávila”
