Leaders of the PSOE and the Canarian Coalition signed a government pact this Thursday for the La Laguna City Council, in Tenerife, which they have disengaged from the negotiations for the investiture of the President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, and have attributed “the need of stability” of the municipality.

As announced by both parties in a press conference, Canary Coalition joins the local Government Board chaired by the socialist Luis Yeray Gutiérrez and will hold three mayoral positions and the presidency of the suggestions and guarantees commission.

They will also manage the areas of Municipal Services and Citizen Participation, Commerce and Tourism, Promotion and Local Development, Environment, Health, Mobility and Transport, as well as a delegated department in Youth, Education and OMIC.

“The agreement at the national level has not had anything to do with it at all. La Laguna needed stability. We have always defended the Canary Islands agenda in Madrid with a series of agreements, but this was not foreseen in that agreement,” stated the Secretary of Organization of the Canarian Coalition, Francisco Hernández, who will take charge of the second term of mayor and of the areas of Municipal Services and Citizen Participation.

The Secretary of Organization of the PSOE, Óscar Ólave, recalled that the local assembly of his party agreed unanimously on December 15 to negotiate the agreement and has said that his party is aware of the need to establish a “solid, stable” political majority. and moderate.”

“We are in a time of politics, dialogue, agreements, putting in common what unites us and forgetting what separates us,” he added.

Asked if the departure of the previous CC spokesperson in the City Council, Jonathan Domínguez, had facilitated or unblocked the agreementFrancisco Hernández has denied this and has assured that Domínguez “continues to be a strong man of the Canarian Coalition in La Laguna.”

“When the parties are clear that they must always put the interests of the citizens above any partisan interest, great agreements are produced. There will be a single government team, of mutual loyalty, solid, made up of two parties where the priority is the commitment to La Laguna,” Hernández concluded.

The written agreement includes 15 axes in which issues are generically agreed upon such as the development of an “updated” general planning plan, implementing a sustainable urban mobility plan, making a municipality more participatory, promoting transparency, transmitting the natural values ​​of La Laguna or “continue reactivating” public housing policies.

There is also a commitment to active aging of the elderly population, promoting universal accessibility of the municipality, improving care for dependency or the creation of a migrant care office.

Regarding the changes in government portfolios, those responsible for the PSOE who now manage the areas that will remain in the hands of CC will continue with some of their responsibilities, so the government team will increase by at least four people.

La Laguna and CC

La Laguna is the political birthplace of the current president of CC, Fernando Clavijo, president of the regional Government, and of the historic deputy (today in the regional Parliament) Ana Oramas. It is the city where both took their first steps and the second most important city in Tenerife. In the 2019 elections, CC lost power in both La Laguna and Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the Island Council, in favor of the PSOE. However, he regained the mayor’s office of the capital after a motion of censure supported by a Ciudadanos turncoat, and in 2023, he regained power in the Cabildo and again in Santa Cruz, as well as in the Canary Islands Government, after making an agreement with the PP.

However, La Laguna did not succeed, which remained in the hands of the PSOE, in a minority after not sealing any agreement with the forces of the left, Drago and Unidas Se Podemos. Both parties have accused the PSOE of not sitting down to negotiate and of maintaining an attitude of rejecting any approach towards them.

Now, CC recovers its lagoon bastion from the hands of the PSOE, but, as Clavijo stated this Wednesday, the approach to the socialists does not mean any change in the agreements with the PP, which once again finds itself in a delicate position, where its partner In the regional government and other island institutions, it also makes an agreement with the party that the national leadership of the party, led by Alberto Núñez de Feijóo, accuses of breaking up Spain.

Clavijo, in an interview on Radio Club Tenerife and reported by Europa Press, pointed out that “no movement is venturing” between nationalists and socialists beyond what may arise in La Laguna.
