A good part of those attending in Santa Cruz de Tenerife to one of the concentrations called by the PP in all the provincial capitals have asked the leader of the party in the Canary Islands, Manuel Domínguez, to break the government pact with the Canarian Coalition (CC) in the regional Executive, of which he is vice president.

"Break the pact, break the pact", chanted a large group among the approximately 2,000 people, according to calculations by the Government Delegation, who came this Sunday to the Granja park in the capital of Tenerife just after Domínguez finished his brief speech, crowned with the Spanish anthem.

In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, around 2,500 people have gathered, also according to estimates from the Government Delegation in the Canary Islands, a figure that the PP raises to around 8,000.

In the capital of Tenerife, shouts of "traitor" have also been heard, although isolated, but the most recurrent and supported proclamations by those present have been those of Pedro Sánchez and Puigdemont "to prison" and insults to the acting president, as well as "Spain is not for sale".

The event has passed without incidents and in a semi-festive atmosphere, under an intense sun and with a multitude of Spanish flags waving in the wind, some with the shield torn off.

In addition to Manuel Domínguez, the president of the PP of Tenerife, Emilio Navarro, the MEP Gabriel Mato or the deputy mayor and councilor in the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council, Carlos Tarife, have attended the event.

Domínguez stressed in statements to the media that despite the fact that "all the agreements are signed" and that "possibly next week we will have a president, what is clear is that we will not have a government".

"We may have a president, but we will not have a government, because it has been formed based on the sale of the rights of all Spaniards to a few," proclaimed Domínguez, who added that the PSOE's pacts with ERC and Junts represent "a challenge to democracy, to the feeling of the Spanish people", and has demanded "a referendum in the form of votes, of elections" to ask "the Spanish people to decide what they want".

In the concentration in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, what there have been are reproaches to CC for agreeing with the PSOE the affirmative vote in the investiture of Pedro Sánchez in exchange for a series of compensations that the nationalist formation has valued this Sunday in social networks, emphasizing that "above colors and ideologies, the important thing is the Canary Islands".

"Canarian Coalition, accomplice", has been heard in the Plaza de España of the capital of Gran Canaria, as well as "this president is a criminal" and "no is no".
