The Arrecife City Council has assured in a press release that El Reducto beach has not lost its Blue Flag, just as the PSOE of Lanzarote asserted this Tuesday in a statement to the media.
In a meeting on the morning of this Wednesday with the media, when asked, the mayor of Arrecife, Yonathan de León, "flatly denied that El Reducto had lost that award".
The city mayor has pointed out that the “that the only contamination that exists is that which the PSOE's communiqués distill with falsehoods”. Yonathan de León asked the socialist councilors to "provide the public with a single analysis, after the end of last year, where it is indicated that the waters of El Reducto beach continue to be contaminated". "They will not be able to show it because since the beginning of January all the water analyses carried out by the Lanzarote Health Area show the optimal quality of the waters in El Reducto", he indicated.
The mayor has detailed that Canal Gestión and the Water Consortium, responsible for the sanitation network, "must provide to Health a certification where they attest that all incidents have disappeared in that area of the sanitation network, which, for decades, were the focus of possible discharges".
Yonathan de León has emphasized that "it has been now, and not in previous terms with the PSOE in the Mayor's Office, when measures have been taken so that El Reducto beach would not have incidents. Information that the tourism and hospitality sector of the area knows closely, as they have been directly informed by the Arrecife City Council".
Puerto del Carmen, the main tourist area of Lanzarote, without blue flags for almost two years
The Councilor for Beaches and Environment, Davinia Déniz, who was with the mayor at this meeting with the media, recalls "that it is the municipality of Tías, with a PSOE mayor, where they have already gone two years without blue flags on its four beaches". For Davinia Déniz, "the only losses of blue flags, according to the organization that grants them, have been on the beaches of Pocillos, Matagorda, Playa Grande and La Pila de la Barrilla, all four in Puerto del Carmen, under the mayoralty of the general secretary of organization of the PSOE of Lanzarote, and mayor of Tías".
Déniz de León has reproached the socialists that "where they govern they lose the blue flags, and where they are opposition, like Arrecife, they falsely say, that it has been lost". These awards are granted by a committee that announces them at the end of May, or beginning of June each year.
"For once, the PSOE must apologize to the public for sending contaminated information and false bacteria in its communications," urges the Councilor for Beaches and Environment of the city of Arrecife.
