In his speech, Francisco Linares stressed that Jonathan Domínguez “is an honest person, a man of political organization, who feels the Canarian Coalition on all four sides”, and predicted that “he will, without a doubt, be the next mayor of La Laguna, he will be the mayor that all lagoon men and women deserve”.

Meanwhile, Fernando Clavijo expressed that he was clear that “Jonathan is the man that La Laguna needs and I have no doubt that he will be the next mayor and that he will be a great mayor; since he represents what the Canarian Coalition has always defended; the work for and each one of the neighborhoods of this municipality”.
“This party has behind it a legacy of fighting for its neighborhoods; for the infrastructures that turned each of these neighborhoods into a center in itself; offering residents opportunities for training, leisure, sports and mobility… and I am convinced that the legacy left by the Canarian Coalition will continue thanks to Jonathan Domínguez. Our next mayor”, said Ana Oramas.
The already candidate assured that one of his great objectives is “to return the City Council of La Laguna to the lagoon men and women. Right now we live with a sectarian government; a government that is continually dancing in its own navel; who only thinks about publicity, propaganda and the photo; and that the only thing he has done is continue with the projects that the governments of the Canarian Coalition had approved in previous mandates”.
“And to give La Laguna back to its neighbors, we will form a participatory government, a government that returns to the path of citizen involvement in all the large projects of the municipality, so that together we can all build a better municipality and abandon the enlightened despotism imposed by the current government”, argued Domínguez, for whom “the little that the parties that are in government do today do it behind the backs of the citizens, with very little participation and involvement of the neighbors. And the response of the Canarian Coalition is to restore direct contact between the Government and the neighborhoods and improve all public services in La Laguna”.
