SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 15 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Socialist Party candidate for Mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Patricia Hernández, presented today Saturday part of the program with which she aspires to return to govern the capital of Tenerife after the elections on May 28, and with which she intends to ” leave behind the infographics” of the Canary Islands Coalition (CC) and achieve “the Santa Cruz that the chicharreros and chicharreras want”.
This was stated at a political rally in which she was accompanied by the general secretary of the PSOE Canarias and president of the regional government, Ángel Víctor Torres; the general secretary of the PSOE Tenerife and president of the Island Council, Pedro Martín, and also by the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Héctor Gómez.
In her speech, Patricia Hernández wanted to send a message “of hope, illusion and change” for Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which “has been without any project to inaugurate for too long, without any vision of a city to move forward, and without any possibility to excite and generate economy and social cohesion”.
Thus, faced with the policies of the current government group, formed by the Canary Islands Coalition and the Popular Party, with the support of the non-attached councilor Evelyn Alonso, Patricia Hernández has presented a project based on the progress of Santa Cruz and the cohesion territorial and social; a project that “talks about making and leaving infographics behind to become the Santa Cruz that chicharreros and chicharreras want.”
For his part, the Secretary General of the Canarian Socialists and head of the regional government, Ángel Víctor Torres, pointed out that the stability that has characterized the Pact of Flowers during this legislature is the same that Patricia Hernández brought to the Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and affirmed that it was others “who, in the worst moments of the pandemic, sought instability and the movements of chairs to try to defend coming to power in any way”.
Ángel Víctor Torres stressed that Santa Cruz de Tenerife “deserves and needs again” Patricia Hernández in the Mayor’s Office, among other reasons, because the works in Valleseco “are already a reality”, recalling that it was with her as mayor when the Government of Spain, the Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo de Tenerife signed the agreement that allowed the release of some works that “were about to go to hell”.
Also because at the moment public housing work is being carried out in La Gallega with funds from the State Government and the Government of the Canary Islands, with the involvement of the City Council and the Cabildo and with the “direct action” of Patricia Hernández, who, recalled Torres He also got the ‘Auditorio’ building, one of the properties that the businessman Antonio Plasencia had to cede to the capital as payment of the sentence in the ‘Teresitas case’, “to return to be everyone’s heritage”.
The socialist leader also valued the dismantling of the refinery, acknowledging that although there was already an agreement with Cepsa when they came to government, it was the PSOE who “got to work” and managed to ensure that the agreement did not include a urban consideration in favor of the oil company. “That is defending the general interest, which is what this municipality needs and what Patricia Hernández has done,” said Ángel Víctor Torres, who was convinced that she will once again be the mayoress of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
GREAT HISTORICAL MATTERS.
The general secretary of the Tenerife socialists and president of the Cabildo, Pedro Martín, affirmed that for the PSOE of Tenerife the capital is “essential”, which is why “a lot of work has been done” and agreements have been reached “to resolve the great pending historical issues and that they were always promises”.
Thus, he referred to the works of Valleseco or the dismantling of the Refinery, “great proposals that never came and that it has been thanks to the agreement between socialist governments that has allowed them to finally give them that impetus for change to meet a new Santa Cruz” .
Pedro Martín wanted to make it clear that this path of “transformation and push” is what the Socialist Party will continue to work on, both from the Government of the Nation, as well as from the Government of the Canary Islands, the Cabildo de Tenerife and, “hopefully soon “, also from the Santa Cruz City Hall at the hands of Patricia Hernández and her entire team.
Finally, the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Héctor Gómez, stressed that Santa Cruz needs a “definitive boost” from Patricia Hernández, who has a project so that the Tenerife capital can be “at the forefront of the management of the public”, and he took the opportunity to thank the “delivery” made by the socialist comrades who have been in charge of the Canarian institutions, who “have given their lives” in this “so complex” legislature.
