María Sandra Izquierdo Fernández (PSOE) has become this afternoon the first female mayor in the history of Tacorontethanks to the support of the four councilors of Canarian Coalition and the three from the Popular Party, who will be his government partners. The Socialists will contribute another five councilors to the pact, which adds up to an absolute majority made up of 12 of the 21 members of the local Corporation. NC (4), Somos Tacoronte (2), SSP (1), C’s (1) and Vox (1) will form the opposition.
The plenary session of the constitution of the new corporation had been postponed to this Wednesday due to the appeals filed for the null votes that finally gave a councilor to Vox and the delay in the credentials of the councilors. It was held in the Óscar Domínguez Hall, in the Casa de la Cultura, before a hundred people and numerous representatives of political parties and institutions, such as the president of the Parliament of the Canary Islands, Gustavo Matos; the acting island president, Peter Martin; Lope Afonso (PP); Nira Fierro (PSOE); Frame gonzalez (PSOE); Ignacio Rodríguez (PSOE), or the former mayors of Tacoronteros Guillermo Graham, Álvaro Dávila and Rodolfo Lionamong others.
The councilors entered preceded by two agents of the Local Police in full dress. José Luis Almenara (SSP) and Yaiza Díaz (PP) constituted the age table, before which Sandra Izquierdo was the first to be sworn in as councilor, followed by the rest of the corporation from 2023-2027.
Izquierdo received the support of the absolute majority of the councilors, after Noemí García (CC) and José Caro (PP) withdrew their candidacies for mayor, by virtue of the tripartite government agreement that they had presented last week.
