The president of the PP of Canary Islands and candidate for the presidency of the islands, Manuel Dominguezadmitted yesterday that he met a little over a year ago and through a journalist the intermediary of the corruption plot of the mediator case. Antonio Navarro Tacoronte wanted to inform him of maneuvers against him, as he assured yesterday in statements to the media in the Parliament of the Canary Islands.
This alleged operation, which would affect him as then mayor of the municipality of Los Realejos, would come from undetermined “someone” of the Island Council of Tenerife. Navarro Tacoronte also added to the story narrated by the popular comments that there was a case of corruption that “was going to splash everywhere.”
Domínguez assures that he gave him the fair credibility that can be given to some statements made during the course of “a coffee.”
«I met a local journalist who came accompanied by another man who turns out to be this man, Mr. Navarro, I didn’t even remember his name, and he told me: be careful because there is a man from the Council of Tenerife that is going to burst Los Realejos, “said the popular.
“And there is a case so big that it is going to splash everywhere,” Domínguez said. “I heard that conversation” and “I gave it the credibility that you will understand can be given to a coffee conversation,” she explained. “In the end, when one has been doing this for a few years, there are many people who can tell you: be careful with this or with this other,” he maintained.
This is how the president of the popular canaries explained this contact after the one known as a mediator explained in two interviews in the Tenerife media –Channel 10 TV and Xanadú Radio– that he had had several meetings with Domínguez outside Parliament to tell him details of what was happening in the Island Council.
In the course of these interviews, the mediator mentions alleged efforts made since 2015 with current or recent political representatives of a large number of Tenerife councils, raising doubts about mayors and councilors from different areas, although without specifying.
In this regard, the Secretary of Organization of the PSOE Canarias, Nira Fierro, urges the popular leader to be as clear as the PSOE general secretary has been, Angel Victor Torres.
