The Los Silos City Council lost in the previous mandate the municipal swimming pool concessionwhich was granted by Costas in 1968, for not processing the extension on time, when the PSOE governed the municipality. The current local government (CC-PP) has been working since the end of 2019 to try to recover the facilities, but they regret that “first Costas in Madrid and now the Government of the Canary Islands They continue without responding to the reopening »of a swimming pool that is on its way to completing four summers closed. The Silense mayoress, Macarena Fuentes (CC), does not hide her weariness and sentences: “Here there is a black hand of the PSOE that keeps the pool closed.”
Fuentes regrets that this Friday the Minister of Ecological Transition, Fight against Climate Change and Territorial Planning of the Government of Canary IslandsJosé Antonio Valbuena (PSOE), “has canceled us at the last minute, and for the third time, a meeting that we have requested so that the Government of the Canary Islands, which has received the powers in Coastsauthorize the reopening of some swimming pools that we had renovated in 2019, with a performance that cost 365,376 euros ».
«Our file is finished and they only have to analyze it. Since January of this year, we have been waiting for that meeting to clarify whether Valbuena continues to think that the files that Madrid opened will be closed by Madrid or he is willing to help Los Silos recover its pool, “says Socas.
For the mayoress of this municipality on Isla Baja, “the PSOE caused this problem by processing the renewal of the concession late and badly in 2018, and now the PSOE, first from Costas and now from the Government of the Canary Islands, continues to do nothing to solve this problem. It seems that they are delaying us until the elections for a purely partisan interest.
coasts in Tenerife issued a report in favor of extending the concession for another 30 years, which is why the Silense City Council announces an upcoming request for the Canarian Government to grant a provisional authorization to open between June and September of this year. “If there was a desire to resolve this matter, it would be resolved, so we are going to make one last attempt with this provisional authorization so that the residents of the municipality can enjoy their pool again,” says the nationalist mayor.
In his opinion, “neither has the PSOE since the Council of Tenerife has shown greater interest in resolving this problem, despite the fact that we have had representatives from this municipality who have been part of the island government,” he said, referring to the socialist councilor of Employment and Socioeconomic Development, Carmen Luz Baso.
