SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Jan. 3 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Insular Socialist Group has criticized this Wednesday the great “smoke announcements” of the president of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Rosa Dávila, at the end of the first six months of her mandate after closing a government pact with the PP despite the fact that Pedro Martín won the elections. elections.
The group’s spokesperson, Aarón Afonso, has questioned the “unfulfilled promises, many announcements and few real projects” which he summarizes in that there are more traffic queues, there are no approved projects to build regional trains and there have been budget cuts in the area. of Equality.
Regarding traffic, it indicates that “the queues have worsened” on the two highways and the commitment that the tow trucks arrive in less than 15 minutes in the event of an accident has not been met.
He also questions the “failed experiment” to decongest traffic on the TF-5 with the closure of the Guamasa link that leaves the inhabitants of Guamasa, Tejina and Tegueste isolated. “Every day in Tenerife there are more and more queues due to their immobility and occurrences,” he points out.
Afonso also criticizes that in the 2024 island budgets there is no money for the Northern train and only 50,000 euros are allocated for the Southern train, so it is “evident” that this is another “smoke announcement” by the president to improve mobility.
At the same time, he regrets that Dávila does not support the road projects that the socialist governments in the Cabildo and the Government of the Canary Islands “left advanced”, as is the case of the La Laguna variant or the BUS-HOV lanes on both highways. .
The socialists also question the “non-compliance” with the comprehensive renovation of the Heliodoro Rodríguez López since only two million euros are included in the 2024 budgets, an amount that makes it “impossible” for the stadium to be renovated in 2025 when its centenary is celebrated.
The same happens with the Cidemat of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, points out the socialist spokesperson, since Dávila promised its reopening in July in the company of the president of the Government of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, and the mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, José Manuel Bermúdez, and then reserved 23,902 euros in next year’s budgets, “something that is laughable.”
WITHOUT VICE-PRESIDENTS IN THE GOVERNMENT
With respect to the area of Equality, it details that the CC-PP pact is the first corporation “in decades to reduce the budget in Equality and against gender violence”, it does not have female vice presidents, it has eliminated the CEO in Equality and has rejected a amendment by the Socialist Group so that the corporation presents women to the Canary Awards.
“Something similar happens in diversity, a president who displays the trans flag at public events but then cuts the area’s budget by 50%,” he explains.
Afonso also calls the Cabildo’s budget “anti-municipalist” because they almost eliminated the subsidy for employment policies, leaving it at one million euros compared to 8.8 million the previous year, which is 88% less and “very far” from the three programs worth the 29 million euros of the socialist Government.
It also points out that it reduces the Municipal Modernization Program by 40% and reduces the budget of the Insular Water Council by 17% and makes a “very unequal” distribution between municipalities of funds such as those destined for cultural infrastructure or housing rehabilitation.
