The PSOE Canarias considers that the presence of Juan Fernando López Aguilar on the PSOE list for the European elections on June 9 is a "guarantee of dedication, hard work and results for the Canary Islands." "There is his long track record of service in these years as a Member of the European Parliament, in which he has been a voice and shield in defense of the interests and singularities of our autonomous community," they add.
The PSOE will go to this electoral event determined to obtain the best possible result, giving continuity and reinforcing its commitment to coexistence, the energy transition and equality and progress policies on the continent.
For the Canary Islands, in particular, there are great challenges ahead as an outermost region, from the future of cohesion funds, to the scope of the new EU budget, the strengthening of the security and defense strategy to the development of the Pact on Asylum and Migration, a matter of vital importance for our Archipelago in which Juan Fernando López Aguilar has been decisively involved.
"This pact has been the result of a long time of work, a lot of dialogue and effort, in which the colleague Juan Fernando López Aguilar has been fully involved, as one of the negotiators," say the Canarian PSOE.
In addition, they point out that "the presence of Teresa Ribera as head of the list is a clearly winning bet, in the same way that the designation of Juan Fernando López Aguilar is, with whom the PSOE was already the winning party in the Canary Islands in the last European elections of 2019, achieving 32% of the votes."
Finally, they state that "his commitment, his capacity and his Europeanism are beyond any doubt. He is the best possible candidate. Always a guarantee of dedication, hard work and results for the Canary Islands."
