The mayor of El Rosario, Escolástico Gil, described this morning as “unheard of” that the acting Minister of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, was visiting the Island and showed no interest in the water supply problems it is suffering. the Tenerife II Penitentiary Center.
In statements to Televisión Canaria, the mayor assured that the situation is Third World and reproached the State for having turned its back on the difficulties facing the prison. “It is unfortunate that there is no one on the other side of the table,” he denounced.
“The center has more inhabitants than five Canarian municipalities that have their own network to solve this type of crisis, while we have given water to extinguish the fire when not even the town had enough for them,” he protested.
Minister Teresa Ribera admits that it is not a normal situation
Asked about this matter during her visit to the Arafo Advanced Command Post, the head of Ecological Transition has admitted that the water cut “is not a normal situation”, although she has recalled that the urban supply corresponds to the municipalities with the support of the councils or councils.
Likewise, he has reported that “he is aware that they are working to recover normality”, although he has pointed out that one might wonder if the municipality should invest more in storage or dialogue with Penitentiary Institutions to obtain “another kind of support”.
