Negotiations to form pacts in the five municipalities in the south of the island that require them to form stable government majorities They have been limited, until now, to contacts between the local committees of the parties involved, almost. Formal negotiations are expected to begin today once thee CC, PP and PSOE have specified the guidelines. In the case of the Popular Party, its insular president, Emilio Navarro, announced yesterday that he will negotiate with all the political formations that make the formation of the government possible municipal in Güímar, Arico, Granadilla de Abona and Guía de Isora. “Including the PSOE,” he emphasized.
Although everything indicates that the line of agreements involves the CC and PP where the sum of their councilors is enough to reach an absolute majority, the sources consulted in the three parties acknowledge the existence of obstacles that are difficult to solve.
In the case of Güímar, the popular ones establish as a condition that Carmen Luisa Castro be the mayoress,l lead the candidacy with the most votes. For the moment, they say that the contacts between the mayors have been limited to formal congratulations, almost. Those consulted transmit that they remain awaiting instructions.
This is a municipality in which the personal differences derived from the action policy distance to the PP of CC and the PSOE and to Nueva Canary Islands of the socialists. Eliminating the red lines in any negotiation “requires an exercise of responsibility and generosity that is difficult to digest in some cases,” several of those consulted agree. It should be remembered that both parties have issues to be resolved in court.
A situation similar to that experienced in Granadilla de Abona, where the PP is denounced for the replacement process in its local committee, which displaced Marcos gonzalez, who is now integrated into Canarian Coalition. As an added difficulty is that the sum of both parties (12) leaves them one of the absolute majority. To achieve it, the involvement of Vox, which has two councilors, would be required.
However, the sum of the PSOE (11) and the PP (2) would reach the 13 councilors that are required to achieve an absolute majority. That would make socialist Jennifer Miranda the second female mayor of Abona passion fruit. The stage is open.
The Mayor’s Office Arona is the most desirable in the region. A scenario emerges from the polls that makes possible a tripartite of PP (5), CC (5) and Más por Arona (4), with three candidates for mayor, but the Popular Party establishes this feud as its own by leading Fátima Lemes the most voted candidacya, with Clari Pérez as first deputy mayoress and the ex-socialist Dácil Pérez as the second.
The collapse of José Julián Mena (PSOE) even the eight councilors would place him in opposition, after losing the absolute majority. A possibility that in the last hours of yesterday began to be questioned before the movements of the directive leaderships of the big parties at the supra-municipal level in the search for alternative majorities in the Archipelago.
In Arico, everyone looks to Arico we are all, local training that can boost the PSOE to the Mayor’s Office or CC-PP. In both cases, joining the government. Yesterday, Arico ST claimed not to have negotiated.
Only in Guía de Isora did everything seem clear. After losing the PSOE (10) the absolute majority. CC (7) and PP (4) would take over, with the nationalist Ana Dorta as mayoress and the popular Carlos Álvarez as first deputy mayor.
