CC believes that the Catalan quota can be an opportunity for the Canary Islands

Coalición Canaria has demanded "guarantees" to face the reform of the autonomous financing system and has considered that the Catalan quota will be an opportunity as long as it is linked to an update of the system "and respect for the Canarian jurisdiction".

The national secretary of Organization, David Toledo, states this in a statement in which he considers it a "mistake" that the agreement to give a unique financing model for Catalonia occurs while the reform of a financing system that he described as "unfair" for the Canary Islands remains stalled.

He alludes to the latest report from the Foundation for Applied Economics Studies (Fedea) in which, he says, points to the Canary Islands as one of the worst-funded territories, only ahead of Murcia and Valencia.

The CC leader shows in the note his concern for what he considers "passivity" of the Canarian socialists, whom he reproached for "being more concerned with defending the decisions of their leader and president of the State Government, Pedro Sánchez, than the interests of the Canary Islands."

David Toledo urged the Canarian PSOE to face this new scenario that opens up "from responsibility and alongside the Canary Islands" and in this sense, he stressed that this new scenario "cannot in any case be one in which the financing gap is increased, in which the singularities of some territories are respected at the expense of failing to comply with those of others and in which inequality between the Canary Islands and the rest of the territories increases."
