The president of the Popular Party of Lanzarote, Astrid Pérez, stated this Wednesday after learning that the central government will not contribute the 20 million euros planned for hydraulic works to the Canary Islands that "the shamelessness of the PSOE when it comes to failing to meet its financial commitments to the islands represents a punishment for the Canarians and, in particular, for the people of Lanzarote."
The representative of the populars on the island has avoided commenting on why she dismissed the vice president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote Jacobo Medina (PP) from his position and the statements by Medina and the mayor of Arrecife, Yonathan de León (PP), who stated that "the forms were not correct" during two interviews on Radio Lanzarote-Onda Cero.
Pérez assures that "this new irresponsibility of the Socialist Government with the Canary Islands leaves the necessary expansion of the Playa Blanca treatment plant in Yaiza without state funding; and of course, it portrays a Government and a party that has lost respect for our autonomous community."
"For the Government of Pedro Sánchez, Canarians are second-class Spaniards, as is demonstrated again, unlike other territories for which he goes out of his way and which he finances endlessly at the expense of other Spaniards," she says. Pérez explained that "on this occasion they have not only deceived us but they are not even capable of giving an explanation, of showing their face. Neither from the Ministry nor from the party. Neither in Madrid nor in the Canary Islands."
The island president believes that "the people of Lanzarote, like all Canarians, should know and take into account that the central government in the hands of the PSOE lies to us, deceives us and punishes us because its only concern is to survive and stay in power at any price by giving away to a few what belongs to everyone."
