The candidate for the Presidency says that the Government of Torres is the protagonist of the “greatest scandals in the history of the Canary Islands”
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 2 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The candidate of the Popular Party (PP) for the presidency of the Canary Islands, Manuel Domínguez, affirms that regarding the ‘Meditor case’, which affects two former directors general of the Government of the Canary Islands, “the whole truth will not be known until after the elections” and also “supposedly intentionally”, as is the case with the ‘Masks case’, in which four million euros have been lost.
Domínguez considers that the current Executive of Ángel Víctor Torres is one of the “greatest scandals in the entire history of the Canary Islands” and in an interview with Europa Press he recognized the Government’s ability “to divert attention, the message, blame third parties, misuse messages and even to manipulate them, with messages, videos and things to confuse society”.
The president of the popular groups assures that the European Prosecutor’s Office “will enter only in part, not in everything, what does correspond to this Government will not be known”, while specifying that he does not believe “in coincidences”.
“It is not a coincidence that everyone leaves the Government just before something happens, I leave that question hanging in the air, is it a coincidence that people leave or are they dismissed just before something happens?”, he wonders.
On the possibility that Torres had dismissed the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Alicia Vanoostende, he believes that “beyond the dismissals or not”, the president should have taken “a step forward on the first day and made a great call as if he had presented the great project for the future of the Canary Islands and would explain the truth to all the Canaries”.
In his opinion, “it cannot be that the Government or the PSOE have appeared because the PP has done so, it cannot be that the Government requests an extraordinary plenary session because the PP requested it or it has gone out to the press because we have pressured it” .
Along these lines, he has said that if all the media and social agents are invited for ‘Canary Islands Day’ and a “great media projection” is prepared to announce the “Reactive Plan”, “why” does it not the same to explain the ‘Mediator case’. “There’s a big difference,” he explains.
Domínguez has criticized that in Parliament “they have prohibited” from making a commission of investigation of the ‘Masks case’ and even “they have prohibited them from speaking in full” so that “the differences are very clear.”
“If it had been to show off, stick out their chests and others, they would have made three commissions and 15 plenary sessions and they would have invited the media to breakfast, however they are going on tiptoe and manipulating the information,” he comments.
“DISENCHANTED” WITH THE RECONSTRUCTION IN LA PALMA
Regarding the reconstruction of La Palma after the volcanic eruption – the PP presides over the Cabildo and leads the Los Llanos de Aridane City Council – has assumed that they have been somewhat “illusory thinking that the central and Canary Islands governments were going to respond to the clappers”.
The leader of the Canarian PP points out that “it cannot be that a year after” the eruption, the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, arrives on the island and announces a housing plan. “Hasn’t he known for a year?” he wonders.
The same happens with the delay in paying the 30,000 euros of compensation for lost housing, that “the 25% that was committed to regeneration investments does not exist” or that it is being considered that the people who live in the prefabricated houses continue to live there. a long time”. “We are disappointed with the word given by Ángel Víctor Torres and Pedro Sánchez,” he underlines.
On the electoral options of his party in other institutions, the PP has ‘targeted in red’ the City Council of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where they have “a great candidate” –Jimena Delgado– to recover command in a capital that ” has been asking for water by signs in recent years”.
Domínguez describes Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as “a collapsed, dirty city that has lost that rigor, that image and that position at the national level, there are many options in that city.”
