PUERTO DE LA CRUZ (TENERIFE), 17 Jan. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The deputy secretary of Territorial Organization of the PP, Miguel Tellado, highlighted on Tuesday the “experience and sensitivity” of the PP candidate for the presidency of the Canary Islands, Manuel Domínguez, in front of an Ángel Víctor Torres who is “at the service of Sánchez”.
In statements to journalists after visiting the José Luis Montesinos Foundation in the company of Domínguez himself, he said that in the Canary Islands and in Spain “there is a drive for change” that on the islands “can only come from Manolo’s hand”.
He has said that in the PP they are “prepared to govern” and with the “necessary sensitivity” to know what is “important” for the citizens, emphasizing that Domínguez was a “successful mayor” in Los Realejos, with 60% of support, and knew how to represent the neighbors “with the dignity they required.”
He has also defended his “municipalist vision” and that Domínguez is the “best president the Canary Islands can have” and maintains that together with Alberto Núñez Feijóo in the presidency of Spain, the Canary Islands will have “the attention” he needs from the Government.
According to Tellado, in this Legislature “the Canary Islands have not had a voice that represents them with the dignity they need”, making it clear that “there cannot be first and second class Spaniards”.
He has also indicated that Domínguez “has a very good chance of winning the elections and governing”, which is the great objective of the PP “to change things” since as an opposition one can only “criticize” or lament. “If you are a government, you take responsibility for things,” he added.
Manuel Domínguez wanted to take advantage of the occasion to thank the work and the effort that the Montesinos Foundation makes for and for the benefit of others, “a work that comes to replace the work that the Administration does not carry out.”
Thus, he indicated that the Foundation has transferred “worrying” data to them, such as that the Canary Islands is the autonomous community with the highest rate of severe poverty and the highest number of homeless people, around 1,700.
Faced with this, he wanted to recall the initiative of the PP that was unanimously accepted in the Parliament of the Canary Islands through the Citizen Income Law, aimed at companies hiring people who receive this income.
