CC-PNC warns that “the Cabildo does not plan to buy the shares of Canarian Airways in 2022.” The nationalist counselor Diana Mora points out that “the announced acquisition of the titles by the Island Corporation does not appear in the budgets.” Mora will request information and demand “transparency” in the next plenary commission of the Presidency on the investment process of the 700,000 euros and she recalls that the government group announced the purchase more than a year ago.
The nationalist group of the Cabildo sentences that the government group has not foreseen in the 2022 accounts, the purchase of shares of the Canarian capital airline, specifically of a group of hoteliers. “The amount was 700,000 euros, as announced more than a year ago,” say sources from the Canary Coalition.
Counselor Diana Mora, will ask in the imminent plenary commission of the Presidency and Social Action about the process of acquiring the titles “because it has been more than a year since the PSOE and Si Podemos Canarias announced with great fanfare that they would contribute that amount and on nothing tangible has been accomplished today.”
“Laudable, but unknown”
Mora points out that “the initiative seems laudable to us, but we do not know the procedures that have been carried out and if it is finally viable or not for the Cabildo to invest the 700,000 euros.” He adds that “we have not had more information about the status of this process and we demand transparency because we are talking about public money.” “To date, in the 2022 budget there is no item for the acquisition of the shares,” says the counselor.
Diana Mora recalls that “there are many unknowns because Ciudadanos expressed its refusal for the Cabildo to be part of the shareholding, while Si Podemos Canarias defends that 51% of the capital is controlled by public administrations.” Mora concludes: “Pedro Martín announced a year ago that the Cabildo would become a shareholder, but he has not done so and we want to know what procedures have been carried out and if he has given up on it or not.”
