SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 19 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The senator for the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, will ask the Government at the control session next Tuesday about the Executive’s measures to alleviate the rise in prices of products in the shopping basket on the Islands.
The nationalist senator will refer to the six packages of anti-crisis measures approved by the Government of Spain in the last year to curb the effects of inflation and the consequences of the war in Ukraine and which, he pointed out, “have not touched the Islands”.
Fernando Clavijo will influence the need for the Government of Pedro Sánchez to undertake a specific additional package of measures for the Canary Islands, as well as immediately implement the agreements signed with the Canary Islands Coalition and incorporated into the General State Budget Law that entered into in force on January 1 and that would allow the prices of products to be reduced in the Islands.
Specifically, it will require the updating of the standard costs of the transport of goods, the advance of the subsidies, which must be paid in the first three months of 2023 to comply with the agreement, and the call of the Commission between the Governments of Spain and the Canary Islands, maritime operators and the industrial and business fabric.
