«Pedro Martin and the PSOE did nothing to resolve the traffic jams and Tenerife lost four years on roads». Francisco Linares, general secretary of the Canarian Coalition (CC) of Tenerife, responded in this way to the criticism of his island PSOE counterpart, Pedro Martínwho on Wednesday assured after a meeting with the construction employers’ association: “It is good that Tenerife does not have the roads it has needed for decades and that the regional and island governments, with the PSOE, “We had advanced and that CC are paralyzing.”
Yesterday Linares accused Pedro Martín and the PSOE, who commanded the Tenerife Council the last mandate with Citizensof “inaction and paralysis”, which “contrasts with the multitude of brave measures and actions that the island president is taking, Rosa Davila [de su formación, Coalición Canaria]to improve this historical problem of Tenerife from a sustainable point of view.
«The great achievement of the PSOE and Pedro Martín during their four years of government was to increase the queues to La Orotava and take a photo on the La Matanza bridge during the 2029 electoral campaign, in addition to resigning themselves saying that this problem would not be solved until 2028,” criticized the leader of the Tenerife nationalists, who added: “The four years of Pedro Martín and the PSOE in the Cabildo were lost years for the roads of Tenerife.”
Linares, which is also mayor of La Orotavaremembers that «Pedro Martín was incapable of taking even a single measure “to improve mobility in Tenerife.” «And in the face of this neglect, currently there is a Insular government, with nationalist president Rosa Dávila at the head, which in six months has done more than the PSOE has done in four years, as can be seen in the fact that more than 30 meetings have been held with the economic and social agents of Tenerife and dozens of measures have been implemented to alleviate the serious traffic problem on the Island,” he emphasizes.
Among those measures, Linares details that “in these six months of the new Cabildo of Tenerife, with Rosa Dávila at the head, two university shuttle lines have been launcheds that have been used, since October, by more than 2,200 people, in addition to continuing to support free public transport for all of 2024, an achievement of the Canarian Coalition.
Furthermore, remember that the Tenerife Sustainable Mobility Island Plan by the Island Government Council, the hiring of 25 drivers to the reinforcement of Titsa lines in both the North and South areas,yes, as well as the signing of a protocol with Ashotel to improve mobility in Tenerife and where the document contemplates nine lines of work that range from the adaptation of the TEN+ VAO application to the promotion of shared vehicles.
