José Domingo Regalado (CC) reproaches the municipal government (PSOE-PP) for rejecting the project for the new Granadilla de Abona Farmer’s Market. The nationalist spokesperson affirms that he left the Mayor’s Office with a project and financing, through the remainder of the treasury. The governing group assures that it enabled an allocation to improve the current facilities, which is the demand of the farmers who use the facility.
The planned Farmer’s Market would be located on an 8,000 square meter plot in San Isidro, the town that houses the current facility. Regalado defends that “he has the support of all the partners” and his design “would make him the best of Canary Islands, but now they come and say they won’t do it. The CC spokesperson regrets “that this is the way of acting of the new PSOE and PP government, with Jennifer Miranda at the head.” He defines it as “a government of no to all of the above, a government based on hate.”
The government group reminds Regalado that in seven years of management, “CC barely made any investment in the Market.” He attributes “laziness and poor management” to the nationalists, the consequence of which is a decreasing presence of farmers in the Market stalls while “they choose to move to the San Miguel de Abona one.”
Municipal technicians cannot issue reports on the project because it has not been delivered to the City Council and, furthermore, “it lacks the mandatory accessibility report.” In fact, “an important part” of the projects that CC promoted in the previous mandate “lack essential elements for their correct processing and execution.”
A strategy
For PSOE and PP, Canarian Coalition “He wanted to let the Farmer’s Market die as a strategy to justify a new one.” Currently, there is “constant and fluid dialogue with the farmers of the Market, who expressed that their priority is to improve the current facilities, which were not attended to in the last mandate.”
For this, Primary Sector, managed by Councilor Bianca Cerbán, provided an allocation to install photovoltaic panels, which will avoid the current use of a generator. In addition, it is working to undertake the comprehensive improvement of the existing facilities, pavement included, and the opening of the cafeteria. The plan includes revitalization and marketing actions that enhance the image of the Granadilla Farmer’s Market.
José Domingo Regalado also criticizes that the PSOE and the PP reject the improvement works included in the 2023 budget, prepared by the Canary Coalition, referring to La Fragata street (Los Abrigos), Artesano alley (town of Granadilla), Isla de El Hierro and Alegranza (San Isidro) and the Atogo steel mill. At the same time, he reproaches the mayor, Jennifer Miranda, that “the first thing she did was disqualify the previous government in the presentation of cultural programming. This new government is one of lies, demagoguery and cynicism.
That municipal government also “deeply regrets the tone and forms used by the CC spokesperson, inappropriate for a former mayor and public representative, and invites him to adopt a measured, purposeful and respectful attitude for the benefit of the citizens of Granada.”
