SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Jan. 14 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The general secretary of the Canary Islands Coalition (CC), Fernando Clavijo, has made an appeal this Saturday to the Canarian society so that they “do not resign themselves to immobility and fight for their future”.
As reported by the nationalist group, this was the case during the presentation of the active listening program for society called ‘Canarias necesita te’.
Clavijo observed that the response to the pandemic, to the consequences of the war in Ukraine on the Canary Islands economy and the new world scenario “cannot be doing nothing nor can the same recipes be applied.”
“The Canary Islands is present and has a future. And that future depends on each and every one of us; on the political parties and on society as a whole,” he observed.
For their part, during the act, the nationalists took stock of the more than one hundred meetings with groups, associations, entities and professionals from the eight islands and that have resulted in the ‘road map’ that will be marked out in the short, medium and long term. term to transform the socioeconomic reality of the Islands.
To this end, the nationalist organization structured the open dialogue with Canarian society into 21 strategic axes, including social services, employment policies, the economy, public health, land management, the use of tourism, initiatives focused on the ecological transition, a debate on the population, the challenges of food sovereignty, culture and identity, the reconstruction of La Palma and the effective development of equality policies or the political framework of relations with the State and the Union European.
Clavijo advocated “strengthening the link between the economy and training to improve the quality of employment and that this be the lever that promotes social equality, fleeing from models that perpetuate poverty.”
In this context, the nationalist insisted on situating employment and training as a “social elevator that takes us away from the rankings of poverty and inequality.”
In addition, the Secretary General recognized that it is necessary to introduce structural changes to adapt the Canary Islands to the new world scenario, among them, the modernization of public services, the link between the demographic challenge and the ecological transition, the commitment to science and innovation and converting the Canarian public universities into “research catalysts” so that their progress translates into “quality employment, opportunities and advances”.
In the same way, he recognized that for these changes to become a reality “we need the involvement of the entire Canarian society.”
“This roadmap – he said – cannot be built only from a political party, it is a collective responsibility.”
In this regard, he reiterated that “if something is clear to us after 14 months of active listening, it is that it is necessary to change the reality of the Canary Islands; things are not like that; they are like that and they can be changed.”
