The Arrecife City Council is arbitrating a legal avenue that allows the payment of aid or subsidies to the residents evicted from the homes in Valterra and Titerroy. This was announced at this Thursday's plenary session by the Councilor for Social Services and Housing and spokesperson for the PP, María Jesús Tovar. The plenary has unanimously approved to arbitrate this measure after a motion registered by CC in the capital's City Council.

Last Thursday, the mayor of Arrecife, Ástrid Pérez, was interviewed on Radio Lanzarote-Onda Cero where she announced, among other measures, that work was being done on a line to unblock aid to the different residents of Valterra and Titterroy affected by the eviction of their properties. Hours after these statements by the first mayor, according to the Consistory, "Coalición Canaria registered a motion for that measure to be approved, already announced and made known by the government group."

The spokesperson for the PP and Councilor for Social Services, Immigration, Equality and Housing, María Jesús Tovar, announced in the plenary "the official communication signed in 2017 by the then Councilor for Urban Planning and Economy and Finance, Samuel Martín (from Coalición Canaria), where he ordered the municipal services to proceed with the return of the nearly three million euros that the capital's City Council had received from the central and Canarian governments destined for the ARUs of Valterra and Titerroy." Return that, according to the City Council, had to be materialized "in the face of existing blockades for the rehabilitation of these homes with the previous municipal government."

"This motion from CC is approved because it is a job that we are already doing and our government group wants to solve the problems of the residents," said Tovar, who replied to CC in words addressed to the spokesperson for CC in Arrecife, Echedey Eugenio. "We are working here. We demonstrate it every day. We don't sell smoke", he said.
