The Local Assembly of the Canary Islands Coalition (CC) in Santa Cruz has supported the electoral list headed by José Manuel Bermúdez with which he will contest the next municipal elections in the capital of Tenerife, in which the main novelty is the incorporation of the councilor, Evelyn Alonso, whose vote led to the motion of censure that returned CC to the Mayor’s Office, in sixth place as an independent. Two heavyweights in the ranks of CC come out of the list, Dámaso Arteaga and Juan José Martínez, who are likely to accompany Rosa Dávila in the Cabildo.
As announced by DIARIO DE AVISOS, number two is for Gladis de León, Councilor for Culture, and number three for Alfonso Cabello, mayor of Fiestas. In position four and five, Bermúdez has awarded the work of Rosario González and Javier Rivero, councilors of Social Services and Accessibility. The list is completed by Leopoldo Carlos Benjumea, who was the island’s employment counselor with Carlos Alonso, in seventh place; Purification Dávila in the eight; Javier Caraballero (responsible for the Fiestas de Mayo), in the nine; and Ana Belén Mesa at 10.
The rest of the list is made up of people linked to the CC structure in the neighborhoods. Claudia Reverón and Inmaculada Fuentes also fell off Bermúdez’s list.
Bermúdez defended that this is “a sheet that aims to collect the ideas of a listening process carried out with more than 500 people and that will incorporate the majority of the 700 proposals made by the districts and sectors into the electoral program that is already being prepared. who have participated in all this time”, advanced the candidate for mayor. “The only way to prevent the PSOE and Podemos from paralyzing our capital, as Tenerife and the Islands have paralyzed, is to recover the Cabildo and the Government of the Canary Islands,” said the current mayor.
In addition to thanking the unanimous support given by the militancy, José Manuel Bermúdez has highlighted that it is “a renewed team of women and men with a deep knowledge of the municipal reality and that combines professional profiles with people from the neighborhood movement, representing all the neighborhoods of Santa Cruz and the different sensibilities and projects”.
The nationalist candidate wanted to show that “from a process undertaken for years of collective construction, Santa Cruz becomes the spearhead to promote a change in the direction of the insular and Canary Islands governments” and argues that “precisely with the intention to reverse the situation of abandonment and comparative grievance that this co-capital of the Archipelago has had to suffer in the last four years, plagued by political discrimination and sectarianism, without taking into account the needs of the chicharrera population, especially the most vulnerable families ”.
Bermúdez feels very satisfied “with the listening process that we have kept alive and that has been established in the different work meetings held in all the districts and with economic, social, cultural and sports sectors” and wanted to highlight that “in This candidacy will be very aware of all these people and groups that have stuck us to the ground and that have proposed their ideas and initiatives that reflect their concern and their love for Santa Cruz, a strategy and a feeling that from the Canary Coalition we fully share ” .
In this sense, Bermúdez highlights that “people who enter politics for the first time with great strength, talent and enthusiasm are added”. All this “to promote a project that aspires to continue governing the capital after May 28,” says the current Santa Cruz councilor.
To conclude, “Santa Cruz is today a city to live in and to invest in, and it must continue to be so in the future with better conditions and opportunities for our people and for our neighborhoods, and the 700 proposals collected in Santa Cruz, with the Five Senses are the best inspiration to achieve it”, concluded the mayor and leader of the nationalists, José Manuel Bermúdez.
The candidate wanted to end by thanking “the outgoing councilors for the work carried out by Santa Cruz and their commitment to the nationalist project, a mission that I am sure they will continue to expand, regardless of the places they occupy or the professions to which they return.”
