SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 4 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The head of the Sumar list for the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Alberto Rodríguez, commented this Friday that the Basque, Catalan or Navarrese right will not vote for the investiture of Feijóo and even less with a government with VOX and would “like to think” that the canary would do the same.
“Be careful with this, many of the people who voted for the CC on May 28 and are going to vote now are not doing it so that it gives them a government to the right, be careful,” he highlighted at a rally held in La Laguna before more than 300 people accompanied by the presidential candidate, Yolanda Díaz.
He pointed out that the Saharawi people – who were represented at the rally – “are not alone” thanks to the “solidarity” of the Canarian people, for which reason he has offered support from Congress through Sumar so that they can “decide their future in freedom”.
He has also used “three reasons” to promote Sumar’s political project such as “respect” for the “plurinationality of the State and the “one-on-one dialogue” with the organization on the islands, stressing that what affects the archipelago must be decide in the Canary Islands “It is not a whim, it is a matter of basic democracy, from kilometer zero”, he commented.
Rodríguez has called for a “fairer” distribution of wealth from the defense of the territory and sustainability because the islands are “bursting” at a dizzying rate. “We cannot allow it,” he has indicated.
He has assessed Sumar’s campaign of proposals “from illusion and desire” and not from “fear” proposed by other candidates, who speak that “the coconut is coming, the extreme right”, hence why he has defended the cut of the working day launched by Yolanda Díaz. “I hear it and it excites me, it is voting for the future, voting for hope,” she commented.
Along these lines, he has called it “absurd” that “the party is considered lost” and that it is not taken for granted that “the right wing will govern.” “The surveys serve to condition what they want to happen, let’s not be fooled”, he highlighted.
Rodríguez has pointed out that the right “is isolated” and has “blanket” money and a lot of media power but now does not have the support of the Catalan and Basque nationalist parties and PP and VOX only have the option of reaching an absolute majority. “That is now impossible”, he has pointed out himself.
Thus, he has indicated that if PP and VOX do not reach an absolute majority, they will not touch La Moncloa “not even remotely”.
Rodríguez has also defended that Díaz has built a team with “the best”, not with “colleagues”, using the ERTE as an example of officials who saved many jobs in the Canary Islands in the midst of the tourist crisis.
He has indicated that “there is work to be done” but he understands that it is necessary to “guarantee” that Sumar maintains a presence in the Government because it has a team with great capacity to improve the quality of life of workers.
“These people deserve to continue doing this job,” he said, while recalling how a group of deputies met on Fridays, together with Yolanda Díaz, to draw up strategies to improve labor rights.
