SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, December 22 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The co-spokesperson for Unidas Se Podemos in La Laguna, made up of Rubens Ascanio and Idaira Afonso, warned this Friday that the pact sealed this Thursday between PSOE and the Canarian Coalition will be a “revolution” for the city and also “the most expensive government in democracy.” , after the exponential salary increase approved by both parties in July.”
The councilors assure that “although now they want to justify this step with lies, although they try to blame the force that has been holding its hand since June, with the desire to reach an agreement for progress, the reality is that at no time in these five lost months have tried to make even the slightest progress in that direction.
Faced with this scenario, United can announce an opposition full of proposals for the benefit of citizens but also “a tough audit of the management, to prevent the misuse of public spaces and the massive placement of like-minded people from once again being the sign of identity of local politics”.
According to Ascanio, it is about the “pact of shame, where neither of the two candidates who led those parties in May were present, supported by false arguments, since no matter how much they repeat it to calm their electorate and their bases, there was a viable and brave alternative, truly progressive, but that did not give them the key to control of the human resources of the University Hospital, which seems to be more important than any other issue.”
The Lagunero councilor also points out in a note that “the citizens have been blatantly lied to, with a polarized campaign, where they swore and perjured that this pact that they have been activating would not be possible, a pact signed with funeral faces, which hides the distribution of interests rather than areas”.
The pact, which according to Ascanio “was clear since June, has been delayed, leaving La Laguna on pause, with historic mobilizations of municipal staff and strikes in fundamental services, in addition to returning nearly 1.5 million euros in subsidies not processed by areas that they were going to change hands no matter what,” as was said in the last plenary session.
CC ACCEPTS A “UNEDITED SWALLOW IN DEMOCRACY”
For his part, Afonso assures that it is “a clear involution, a return to a distribution of disconnected political spaces where political interest is once again over the general interest.”
Along these lines, he indicates that although the Canarian Coalition “accepts an unprecedented deal in democracy, leaving part of its councilors outside the government, while the PSOE is complete, Clavijo comes out strengthened, he knows that he will have a mandate with a potential replacement in his support in the Parliament and Cabildo, and once again places his party at the center of all possible attempts at the mandate.”
Afonso highlights that for the first time the Complaints and Suggestions commission will be occupied by a Government party, when it has always corresponded to the opposition, as it is a control body as stated in article 113 of the Municipal Organic Regulations.
“It seems to us that it is a gesture by the new government, which makes a declaration of obscurantism and lack of transparency,” he says.
He also considers that with this decision a sustained agreement is achieved “in interests, not in proposals”, where “two town councils will be seen again and will also reactivate the political space that will not take long to regain its strength, after four years of regeneration.” .
