Dávila Advocates for Unmatched Efforts to Enhance Christian Port, Rejects Fonsalía Plans

Santa Cruz de Tenerife 19 Mar. (Europa Press) –

The president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Rosa Dávila, has advocated on Wednesday for the “unpostponable” expansion of the port of Los Cristianos, alongside other initiatives such as the Chayofita underground, thereby reaffirming the “clear” stance of her party, CC, towards Fonsalía: “We are opposed.”

She emphasised that following a technical report presented by the College of Engineers, it is evident that, irrespective of the political views regarding the presence or absence of Fonsalía, the “current situation at Los Cristianos has become entirely untenable,” as stated during a press conference concerning government council agreements.

“An intervention on land is urgently needed, which has already been planned, to address the Chayofita route, because, regardless of the developments concerning Fonsalía, the intervention is essential to resolve the traffic issues in the area, an action that must be undertaken by the town hall,” added the island president.

She contended that the Port of Fonsalía appears to “fail to provide all the necessary technical guarantees” in the mentioned technical document, as she believes it is not the “ideal” location for it to be operational, “unlike the port of Los Cristianos,” she pointed out.

“The College of Engineers makes it clear that, regardless of any alternative considerations (in reference to the possibility of a port at Fonsalía), work in Los Cristianos would be necessary,” Dávila remarked, asserting that Fonsalía “would not be viable in the short, medium, or long term,” due to environmental circumstances of “such magnitude” that would render it unfeasible.

In turn, the island vice president, Lope Afonso, elaborated that the concern of the governing group now relates to the “historical deficiency” in Los Cristianos, indicating that what “drives” the town hall “primarily” is to provide a “logical, orderly, and effective solution” for Los Cristianos and its port.

He expressed gratitude for finally having a technical resource, as offered by the College of Engineers, to “inform” decisions, given that up until now there were only “political assessments.” “This technical work serves to supply the evaluative element, clear the path, resolve uncertainties, and provide guidance on what could be pursued in the future,” he stated.
