SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 31 (EUROPA PRESS) –

Sí se puede has recently chosen Carmela Díaz Vilela as its candidate for the Cabildo de Tenerife in its internal primary elections. This is the first of the contributions of the Canarian party to the candidacy of the United Sí Podemos coalition, made up of Sí se puede, Izquierda Unida Canaria (IUC) and Podemos Canarias.

During this mandate, the ecosocialist candidate exercises her role as a councilor in the Tacoronte municipal government, as head of the Environment and Sustainability areas, which also include competencies in the development of the primary sector, waste management and care of mountains, parks and gardens.

In this way, Sí puede contributes the figure of a woman with a qualified technical profile, due to her degree in Biological Sciences, with a specialty in Zoology, from the University of La Laguna and her master’s degree in Agroecology, Rural Development and Agrotourism by the Miguel Hernández University.

In addition, Díaz Vilela has significant experience in public administration management in promoting transformative and beneficial programs for citizens in Tacoronte, from the successful work carried out to control the termite infestation in the municipality to the creation of the first Energy Community on the island, key in the municipal energy transition plan.

The policies that it has promoted for the ecosocial transition in Tacoronte are marked by its socio-community priority, essential for the circular economy, as is the case of the first community vermicomposters and the network of urban gardens.

Díaz Vilela joins this insular candidacy motivated by “the ecological emergency situation, which is real and requires implementing measures now; time is running out and we need people with training and prepared to face the necessary changes to enter the institutions. Our island has exceeded its carrying capacity, we must promote models that set the guidelines of the municipalities so that adaptation to climate change is a reality now”.

For these reasons, Sí se puede conceives its participation in the insular candidacy as an essential contribution in promoting policies related to land management, environmental protection and the formulation of a new economic model, from an insular, sustainability approach. and of ecosocial transition, understood as the promotion of processes with the leading role centered on the sovereignty of citizens.

Thus, with the perspective of the close relationship between a predatory and dependent economic model and its threat to the island’s territory and environment, the Sí puede candidate underlines key policies to promote in the Cabildo. “It is essential to declare the tourist carrying capacity of the island exhausted in order to start with the municipalities of the south of Tenerife the review of the General Planning Plans (PGO); we intend that the Cabildo participate in the declaration of saturated tourist areas once once the Parliament of the Canary Islands concludes the legislative work begun during this term along these lines, promoted by our colleague Paco Déniz”, indicates the candidate of Sí se puede.

In this chapter, Díaz Vilela also points out other strategic lines of work, such as “promoting a change in the energy model, in favor of citizens, not multinationals; developing strategies for sustainable and effective mobility, in which large infrastructures do not fit roads or meaningless investments, such as trains, and other actions that must be reversed, such as the closure of the island ring road in San Juan de la Rambla or the variant of the TF-5 in La Laguna.

He also sees it essential “to change the wastewater treatment model to make its treatment effective in Tenerife; to effectively protect the primary sector through agroecological transition policies, improve the quality of irrigation water and, in general, start the transformation of the insular economic model, which includes not only diversifying the productive sectors, but also, especially, abandoning the dependent nature of our economy, so externally focused and so vulnerable”.

In the strict field of the environment, the Sí puede candidate raises the need to “improve the quality of protected natural spaces for the native species that inhabit them and guarantee their effective protection; apply environmental restoration plans in degraded natural spaces ; fight against invasive alien species; stop the destruction of the soil with unsustainable projects, such as the motor circuit, and protect the coastline against the advance of cement”.

ENVIRONMENT AND PRIMARY SECTOR

Member of the Local Assembly of Sí se puede in Tacoronte since its inception more than 16 years ago, Carmela Díaz Vilela highlights in her career, in addition to her training, her most recent political experience as a councilor in a pact government formed by three forces, that has prevented the maintenance of decades of CC government in Tacoronte.

His work in the government of Tacoronte has been marked by “the change of concept in municipal management, in which the protection of our biodiversity and sustainability have been the fundamental premises in each and every one of our actions. We have worked in all moment for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); we have worked on all of them and, in a very special way, SDG 17, which speaks of collaboration, the generation of alliances to achieve the objectives”.

In addition to what has already been outlined about the fight against termites -where his drive to reach an agreement between the administrations involved: City Hall, Cabildo and the Autonomous Government-; the municipal energy transition plan, the community programs of urban gardens and vermicomposting -as part of the Circular Communities program of the Cabildo-, in a brief balance of its municipal management, the insular candidate of Sí se puede aims the Master Plan of the rustic natural and landscape protection spaces, in the drafting phase, in order to create the Thermophile Biodiversity Corridor, develop the part corresponding to Tacoronte of the Laurissilva Biodiversity Corridor and connect both corridors.

Added to this is the creation of the Project for the Custody of the Monte de Agua García Territory; the eradication of invasive exotic plants and the progressive removal of non-invasive ones in municipal parks and gardens; the implementation of native plants typical of pre-existing ecosystems, in order to create a city within the ecosystem -as a fundamental concept of municipal green infrastructures- and the holding of the first Tenerife Marine Biodiversity Open, in El Pris, which will be the reason for the Conference on Biodiversity of the University of La Laguna (ULL).
