SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 8 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Isabel Bello will be the Ciudadanos candidate for the Government of the Canary Islands as she is 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 for the Parliament of the Canary Islands.
Since she is the only candidate, the Permanent 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, as reported by the party.
After this appointment and, following the statutes of the formation, Isabel Bello will be appointed as president of the party in the Canary Islands, for which she will act as spokesperson for the Autonomous Committee, which she will preside over and direct, constituting herself as the main authority of the party in the Archipelago, a position in which he will replace his current regional coordinator, Enrique Arriaga, who has been holding this position since 2020.
Enrique Arriaga, who did not present himself as a candidate in the party’s primaries for the regional Presidency but who has run to lead the party’s list for Mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and supported the candidacy of Isabel Bello, has specified that today Ciudadanos “takes a new step in its refoundation 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 Cabildo de Tenerife, has done a magnificent job in recent years “.
“As a hard-working young woman who knows the problems of our neighbors, and especially those in the south of Tenerife, where she has developed part of her working life, I am sure that she will do a great job from the regional institutions,” said Arriaga, who added that whatever position he occupies in the future, he will have his full collaboration for it.
For her part, Isabel Bello said she was convinced that the future of the Canary Islands “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 resolve the problems of the canaries, fleeing from the populism in which, more and more, we are seeing ourselves involved”, he added.
