The dismissal of Miguel González as Minister of Education and Culture has become official this Thursday, after he, as Secretary of Communication of the PSOE, sent a statement to the media calling Mario Pérez "Agent 007" and the president of the Cabildo, Inés Rojas, and the mayor of Arrecife, María Isabel Déniz, "Bond Girls". These descriptions were the response to the warning that these three members of CC gave yesterday to the PSC, in a press conference in which they asked that their "internal disputes" not interfere in the stability and governability of the Island Corporation and the capital Consistory.
Rojas' reason for justifying this dismissal is based on the fact that she considers that González "has attacked the values of our society", using a sexist tone in his writing. In fact, from the early hours of the morning, different CC leaders were betting on this measure. "If I were the president, that James Bond wouldn't last in his position until 9 in the morning," said the mayor of Tinajo, Jesús Machín, emphatically on Radio Lanzarote. For her part, María Isabel Déniz also harshly attacked González, stating that she was not going to "accept this type of sexist and macho language".
Regarding why action has been taken directly against Miguel González, when the writing really bore the PSOE seal, and Manuel Fajardo himself has pointed out that it is "a statement from the party", Inés Rojas has gone so far as to state that they will have to analyze whether the writing was really supported by the entire party, to take possible measures, and has even pointed out that the Canarian Coalition is not afraid of being left in the minority, and that if that happened, they "would have to start working with the rest of the parties".
In any case, neither from the Canarian Coalition nor from the Socialist Party is there yet a clear message of the consequences that this dismissal will have, or even of whether the socialists themselves will decide to abandon the pact. So far, the brief meeting held this noon between Inés Rojas, Mario Pérez, Manuel Fajardo and Carlos Espino has not yielded results in one sense or another, and all have decided to continue the conversation this afternoon.
