SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, May 24. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The president of the Government of the Canary Islands and candidate for re-election by the PSOE, Ángel Víctor Torres, highlighted this Wednesday the “height of respect” reached in the television debate of candidates that also served to confront “different models” and the PSOE’s commitment for “defending the public”.
In statements to journalists on the occasion of a meeting with the third sector accompanied by the candidate for the Cabildo, Pedro Martín, and the candidate for the Mayor’s Office of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Patricia Hernández, he reproached CC for making proposals that were “incapable of to do” in 26 years in the Government such as “solving traffic in Tenerife in 90 days” or the PP that protects “high incomes” with its defense of private nursery schools.
In this sense, he has highlighted the implementation in this Legislature of the free school from zero to three years in the Canary Islands or dedicating more economic resources to health, education and social services.
He has also said that with the government of the ‘Pact of Flowers’ “a cliché has been broken” because with the left in command of the autonomous community “there is more and more stable employment”, with 10,000 women and young people who have come out of unemployment , fewer school dropouts and a diversification of the economy “like never before”.
Thus, he has highlighted the 300 million foreign investment in the islands in the last year when it never exceeds 200 million, the 35% increase in the investments of Canarian companies abroad or that 2023 is for now the best year for tourist spending.
According to Torres, the Canary Islands “is recovered” and “looks to the future with optimism” and with “more social balance.”
