The general secretary of the PP, Angel Acebes, denied this Monday the existence of an agreement between his party and the Canarian Coalition to access the regional government, while considering "logical, at a time when nobody has a majority" the conversations started today between the nationalist candidate, Paulino Rivero, and the PSC-PSOE candidate, Juan Fernando López Aguilar.
"There is no agreement, neither closed nor signed, with the Canarian Coalition nor with any other party," he said after indicating that he had no information about conversations in this regard and that, in any case, it is "the party in the Canary Islands who is carrying them out."
Acebes registered within normality the agreement reached by his formation with the Canarian Coalition to govern in the City Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and pointed out that "we will try to reach the greatest number of possible agreements in the Canarian institutions", but avoided considering that said agreement could be transferred to the regional government.
He also demanded "coherence" from the PSOE in its policy of agreements at the national level, since "what it cannot do is say that in the Canary Islands the most voted list has to govern and in the rest of Spain it does not."
In this sense, he stressed that the current president of the Balearic Islands is less distant from the absolute majority than López Aguilar, and the same happened in Cantabria. "Let's respect the most voted list, but throughout Spain and for everyone," he said.
