The spokesperson for Employment from the Socialist Parliamentary Group, Gustavo Santana, demands “the real data” regarding this service that the socialists requested from the Director General of Labour of the Canary Government. “This concealment of information is intended to gloss over their management in Fuerteventura, where the minister is also the president of the People’s Party (PP)”
The spokesperson for Employment from the Socialist Parliamentary Group, Gustavo Santana, has demanded that the Minister of Tourism and Employment of the Canary Government clarify “the collapse” of the labour mediation service in the islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, given the absence of “real” data on its operation.
Santana recalls that last June he requested the Director General of Labour for data to understand the situation of the SEMAC files, and that the “only information” provided was the data related to the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where there are still 1,966 files awaiting processing, in addition to the files from La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro, “where the situation is equally serious, except for La Gomera and El Hierro” (A document is attached).
The socialist deputy expressed his surprise that the information provided by the Director General of Labour does not match what was stated in the Parliament of the Canary Islands by the Minister of Tourism and Employment, Jessica de León, who boasted about the good management of the Mediation and Arbitration Service (SEMAC).
“What is surprising is that in the data request they overlook the figures for Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, and that the public had to learn about the paralysis and collapse of these islands through the complaints made by the UGT and CCOO unions in the Canary Islands. We suspect that this concealment of data is explained by the fact that the Minister of Tourism and Employment is also the president of the PP in Fuerteventura, and fears that it may affect her public image, which she constructs based on hollow headlines,” he denounces.
From the Socialist Group, they demand that the Minister of Tourism and Employment publicly provide the real data on the unprocessed files in the SEMAC, detailed by island, especially for Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, which has been stalled since February.
Additionally, they request information on the delays affecting the individuals needing to be attended in conciliation proceedings before reaching trial, “considering that this poor management of the SEMAC also adds to the additional collapse of the Administration of Justice.”
