Canarian Coalition has accused the PSOE of "demonstrating double standards" by requesting the State Government for the co-management of the Canarian airports, and then voting against the initiative in the Senate.
"What has happened, in the past ordinary session of the Senate, comes to demonstrate for the umpteenth time how important it is to have your own voice in Madrid and how this voice can only be put by the Canarian Coalition, because when our representatives belong to state-level parties, they are prisoners of their structure. Even when they have to vote against their own organization on the Island", they declare from the nationalist party.
The nationalists lash out harshly in a statement against the socialist senator Marcos Hernández, of whom they say that "he has refreshed the lesson for us, and that is that while the PSOE in the island government recently supported a motion presented by the Canarian Coalition that demanded the co-management of the Canarian airports from the Zapatero government, in the same way that it provides for other Autonomous Communities where the traffic and the strategic importance that these facilities have justify it, the Senator from Lanzarote was doing just the opposite".
In addition, the Canarian Coalition maintains that the socialist senator is yet another example of "the dependence on Madrid" of the political parties of national implantation. "The socialist senator from Lanzarote is just one more of the many and clear examples of when our political representatives, in both national chambers, belong to parties such as the PSOE or the PP, even though they are presumed to have the duty to ensure the defense of the interests of the Canarian territory that they also, supposedly, represent, they finally limit themselves to obeying the orders of their leadership in Madrid, even when this means contradicting the position of their party on the island".
