The acting mayor of the Haría City Council, Marci Acuña, has launched an offer to the PSOE and the Municipal Platform of Haría to prevent CC from being left out of the next municipal government. "It's not crazy nor are we inventing anything since it has already been done in other places. I think it is the best option; to have a Council without councilors in the opposition and to be all united for the good of our neighbors", defended Acuña, who proposes to form a "government of concentration" with the three parties that obtained representation in the last elections.
Regarding the Mayor's Office, what he suggests is that they take turns during the mandate, with a "shared time" baton of command depending on the electoral results obtained by each formation. "I think that the fair and balanced thing would be for the Canarian Coalition to hold the Mayor's Office for 40% of the time, since we got 5 councilors, and that the remaining 60% be divided between PSOE and PMH, with three councilors each", he detailed,
Acuña himself acknowledges that it is "very difficult for both the PSOE and the Platform to accept the proposal, since both parties have a closed agreement since before the elections." However, he insists that "if they truly think about the municipality and those who reside in it, and not in personal or partisan interests, they will realize that it is the best way out."
"The formula is neither new nor original, it is undoubtedly a Solomonic measure for a municipal pact that, three days before the plenary sessions for the constitution of local corporations, is still not clear at all", adds the acting mayor, in reference to that alliance that seemed evident as soon as the election results were known, but that has not yet been formally closed, among other things due to differences over whether the socialist Alfredo Villalba, who obtained second place, or the former mayor José Torres Stinga, who came in third place, should hold the Mayor's Office.
Therefore, three days before the Plenary is held to constitute the new Corporation, Acuña has asked to be included in that pact with a "shared time" Mayor's Office. "It is an exercise of responsibility for all the parties that have obtained representation. Haría needs the unity of all of us to be able to respond to what the municipality demands", he defended.
