Marcos Antonio Rodríguez and Bianca Cerbancouncilors of the Popular Party in the local government of Granadilla de Abonain agreement with the PSOE of Mayor Jennifer Miranda, yesterday came out against the demonstrations from the Cabildo and some economic sectors about the need to increase the number of taxis in the Tenerife South airport, considering that “it is not about putting more taxis, when in Granadilla we have 191 licenses, plus the San Miguel taxis and the UBERs. Furthermore, Granadilla’s own taxi drivers, and this is what their association has said, coordinate with those of Arona and Adeje when there is a lot of demand, on specific days, and they can pick up a ticket at the airport,” said Rodríguez in Onda Tenerife.
The second deputy mayor and councilor among other areas of Public Services and Ecological Transition regretted that “we still do not have an Island Mobility Plan, as we have in our municipality. The neglect of the political parties in this matter in the Cabildo has been irresponsible and it cannot be said that in 90 days the traffic jams will end, when they have not been able to resolve it in years. He insisted that “what is happening now at the airport is a consequence of the fact that before it took 35 minutes to get to Playa de Las Américas and now it takes an hour and a half.” Furthermore, he continued, “it is not understandable that the taxi rank is not at the arrival gate and is located in a corner of the airport.”
Continuing with mobility, Marcos Antonio Rodríguez pointed out that “the low emissions regulations, required by municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, will be implemented in the municipality in the centers of Los Abrigos, El Médano and San Isidro, which concentrate the highest density of traffic and suffer these emissions with southeast winds and more so on days with haze. “We are studying the viability of this regulation, because it is an imposition from Europe.”
The pact
Both popular councilors agreed on “the good health” of the pact with the PSOE, ruling out any possibility of rupture, because “we are developing the program with which we presented ourselves to the elections,” said Rodríguez, while Bianca Cerbán rules out that “they have Canarian Coalition headdress; “I have always gotten along well with them, but agreeing with them is not the case, because I am very comfortable with the entire Government team, even in the preparation of the budgets.”
Marcos Antonio Rodríguez added that “political gossip does not interest us, our interest is the residents of Granadilla, not the comments of brothers-in-law in the bars.” For their part, both did not want to talk about the expulsion file that the PP opened for them. “Home things are washed at home,” they said.
