Ana Rosa Mena (PSOE) took office this Saturday as mayoress of Tegueste thanks to a pact time sharing with Canarian Coalition (CC) for which Mena will be local councilor for the first two years of the mandate and the local leader of the nationalists, Norberto Padilla, will hold the baton for the following two.
This alliance allows Mena to continue two more years in the Teguestera Mayor’s Office after having remained there for the previous four. PSOE and CC will have a broad absolute majority of 12 councilors in a consistory of 17 ediles. The Popular Party (PP) will also have representation in the Villa, with 3 councilors; the group of voters +I+D Tegueste, with 1; United You Can (USP), with 1, and now Tegueste-Nueva Canary Islands (AT-NC), with 1.
Mena expressed her “Illusion and commitment to face this new stage, which will allow its management to continue with the aim of promoting the well-being of citizens, economic revitalization and sustainable life, “according to the note sent by the City Council. For his part, the head of the CC list, Norberto Padilla, expressed his «commitment and determination to the good of the people of Tegueste». He added that “not everything goes in policy» and that « the word, the sincerity and the good of the people must be above and we have demonstrated it ».
This pact and takeover was reached after a complex negotiation process in which an entente of nationalists and popular with one of the minority parties (conversations advanced with +I+D Tegueste –a group of voters that was appearing for the first time– and with AT-NC). The problems did not end there. The decision of the socialists to agree with CC felt like a bomb among the local militancy of the PSOE and has left the group in a tense situation.
