SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, May 7. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The general secretary of the PSOE of the Canary Islands and president of the autonomous government, Ángel Víctor Torres, has asked for “calm” for those who are “getting nervous” and are using “insults and disqualification”, and he wanted to respond “clearly ” warning that the PSOE will answer them “with a blow of votes with roses and fists at the polls.”
This was stated at a meeting held in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which was attended by the General Secretary of the PSOE and President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, as a result of the General Secretary of the Canary Islands Coalition in Tenerife, Francisco Linares, having said at a rally that they were going to give “a kick in the ass” to the president of the island’s Cabildo, Pedro Martín.
In his speech, Ángel Víctor Torres asked parties such as the Canary Islands Coalition to tell the truth because what they are doing is “exaggerating, lying, telling falsehoods and manipulating”, and he stressed that the reality is that today there are 80,000 more people working, more investment, more women working, more free public schools from 0 to 3 years and non-contributory pensions than when the nationalists presided over the Canary Islands. “Today, the Canary Islands are doing better and have stability,” he stressed.
The socialist leader has affirmed that CC, while he was governing the Canary Islands, “was not interested in resolving conflicts -with the central government-, but in generating them and leaving them alive because they understand that this way they obtain more votes”. Faced with this, Torres advocated solving the conflicts because that means “improving the lives of the Canary Islands, which is what the Government of Pedro Sánchez has done.”
Thus, facing the next May 28, he asked the public to give the PSOE “the note it deserves” after managing these four years. “We deserve it to continue changing the Canary Islands for the better and to do it with a progressive government and with a man loyal to the Canary Islands like Pedro Sánchez,” he stated.
