Tegueste faces the appointment with the polls on May 28 in an uncertain scenario, while Escolástico Gil seeks his first absolute majority in El Rosario. In El Sauzal, one of the strongholds of the Canarian Coalition, the nationalists are trying to re-edit a government alone. Tacoronte lives the elections after four years of the left-wing tripartite led by Daniel Díaz, from Nueva Canarias.
The four municipalities closest to Santa Cruz de Tenerife and La Laguna to the North will experience the municipal elections next May 28 with some parallels and a few other disparities. Tegueste and Tacoronte arrive from a left-wing quadripartite and tripartite, respectively, and the forecast that they are condemned to agree to form a government; El Rosario, of the almost absolute majority of IR-Greens, and El Sauzal, of a lone government of a CC that has held several elections with a majority to the limit. These four municipalities are torn between the objective of trying to manage without alliances, in some cases, and adding enough to try to reissue or launch stable government pacts. Everything remains to be decided, since a handful of votes can alter the planned script and turn the least thought into a key of government.
Tegueste
PSOE, SSP, Podemos-IU-Equo and AH-NC signed a government agreement in 2019 that – through some disagreement, especially around the Las Toscas gas station – they have managed to maintain. The tight results of that appointment with the polls and the smallness of the municipality, with significant neighborhood knowledge of what is happening in their town hall, make what will happen unpredictable. Repeat Ana Rosa Mena as PSOE candidate and Juan Norberto Padilla for CC; the left has united in Unidas sí Podemos, headed by Francisco Ramón Santamaría, who is accompanied by a prominent member of the neighborhood movement, such as Francisco Edú Elá, and enters the board a group of voters (+I+D Tegueste), which also spices up this Teguester mix by taking as number three the spokesperson for the PSOE, María Candelaria de la Rosa until days ago. Antonio López (AT) wants to be important again, while those already represented in the Plenary PP and Cs, as well as Vox and UDT, who do not have councilors, are looking for their opportunity.
The rosary
Escolástico Gil (IR-Verdes) seeks the absolute majority that he caressed in 2019, when he remained a mayor, after which he signed a government pact with the only councilor of Sí se Puede, Fidel Vázquez. The PSOE, which came to chain victories by more than half of the votes in the municipality in the past, seeks to make up for the debacle of 2015 and 2019 (it dropped to five -from 9- and later to three) and for this it has changed candidate (Ángela Gil for José Antonio Estévez). The Socialists look in the rear-view mirror at CC, which seeks to defeat the PSOE led by Cristina Valido. The already councilor Juan Carlos Martínez will once again be the headliner of the PP. Vox and Reunir are also presented Canary Islands Sustainable, directed, respectively, by José María Soriano and Concepción Moreno, a candidate who was Podemos in the last elections and mayor until his resignation. Neither the violet formation nor Cs, both represented in plenary at present, attend the elections.
tacoronte
The political scenario of Tacoronte after 28M is unpredictable. The six parties with municipal representation (Cs, PSOE, NC, CC, SSP and PP) will have to compete with three new alternatives that threaten to further atomize the Tacorontera Corporation, where the winner of the last elections, Virginia Bacallado (Cs ). Carlos Medina was a PSOE candidate four years ago and now leads Somos Tacoronte; The Tagoro Alternative Voters Association has also been created, with Candelaria Dorta. Noemí García is the new candidate for Canarian Coalition, who wants to start recovering part of the lost ground. José Caro repeats in the PP, who hopes to grow in votes. Cs loses his great reference and opts for Benito Regalado, and Vox, with Noemí Campillo, aspires to fish in a troubled river. Two of the partners of the current government repeat headlining: the mayor José Daniel Díaz Armas, for Nueva Canarias, and Violeta Moreno, for Sí se Puede. The PSOE is renewed with the councilor Sandra Izquierdo to try to resurface in this old socialist stronghold.
the willow
PP, PSOE, the Independent Association of El Sauzal-Nueva Canarias (AISA-NC) and Vox will try to leave CC without an absolute majority, again led by the current mayor, Mariano Pérez. The nationalists have achieved absolute majorities by the minimum in the 2019 and 2015 elections (with 7 councilors compared to 6 for the opposition), and any small electoral misstep can open up a scenario unprecedented in recent decades. The dispersion of the vote is notable in this municipality and the leadership of the opposition has been in the hands of AISA-NC since 2019, which with Juan Daniel Fajardo aspires to continue growing. The PP presents Carmen Nieves Álvarez and the PSOE once again headlines Benigno Guillén. Andrés Villena is the Vox candidate.
