Canary IslandsWednesday, February 8. Isabel Bello will be the candidate for citizens to the Government of the Canary Islands being the only candidate who has managed to exceed the 15% endorsement established by the new statutes of the political formation to lead the party list at Parliament of the Canary Islands.
Since it is the only candidate, the Standing Committee of Citizens has proclaimed her as a candidate for the Presidency of the Government of the Canary Islands without the need to proceed to the scheduled vote on February 15 and 16.
After this appointment and, following the formation’s statutes, Isabel Bello will be appointed as president of the party in the Canary Islands, for which she will act as spokesperson for the Autonomous Committeewhich he will preside over and direct, establishing himself as the party’s main authority in the Archipelago, a position in which he will replace its current regional coordinator, Enrique Arriaga, who has been holding this position since 2020.
In this sense, Enrique Arriaga, who did not present himself as a candidate for the party’s primaries for the regional presidency, but who has run to lead the list of Citizens to the Mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerifesupported the candidacy of Isabel Bello, specifying that “today Ciudadanos is taking a new step in its re-foundation in the Canary Islands, electing Isabel Bello as its future regional president, a person committed to solving the problems of the Canaries and who, from the Council of TenerifeHe has done a wonderful job over the past few years. As a hard-working young woman who knows the problems of our neighbours, and especially those in the south of Tenerife, where she has spent part of her working life, I am sure that she will do a great job from the regional institutions”. And she adds that ” whatever position he occupies in the future, he will have my full collaboration for it.”
for his part Isabel Bello declares to be “convinced that the future of our land necessarily depends on a strong Citizen, guarantor of the renovation and cleanliness of the institutions, and who bets on a message of moderation and good sense in public management to solve the problems of the Canaries, fleeing from the populism in which, more and more, we are seeing ourselves involved”.
