Questioned about Vox and a possible nod in yesterday’s plenary session, Afonso indicated that “it has been a gesture of cordiality and I also believe that it was necessary to maintain it with the Socialist Group for a position of union, to maintain good form, cordiality and respect to the institution, the Cabildo de Tenerife».
Regarding issues with different positions among partners such as Cuna del Alma or the Circuito del Engine, Dávila stressed: «There will be many projects where not everyone agrees.
