Coalición Canaria (CC) Tías denounces the "serious negligence" of the socialist government group, headed by José Juan Cruz, which will force the City Council to return more than one million euros from the Canarian Employment Service (SCE), destined for the implementation of three Programs of Alternating Training with Employment (PFAE).
Specifically, these are the projects ‘Tías en Verde III’, ‘Construyendo Futuro’ and ‘Dinamiza Tías III’, each endowed with 356,697 euros, which would have generated more than one hundred jobs in the municipality of Tías.
The municipal spokesperson for the Canarian nationalist party, Amado Vizcaíno, describes the return of these grants as "a disgrace and yet another example of the socialist mayor, José Juan Cruz, and his team's inability to manage".
"We are talking about a lost opportunity for many residents of Tías who need to work, train, and have a job opportunity. But, due to the incompetence and lack of foresight of the PSOE, that money is returned and those jobs disappear," Vizcaíno emphasizes.
Socialist cronyism
The nationalist spokesperson recalled that CC Tías has been requesting information and warning since 2020 "of the irregularities and cronyism in the selection and hiring processes of personnel promoted by socialist governments for the PFAE”.
"Accustomed as they have been for years to plugging in relatives and affiliates of their party as teachers and management personnel, the socialists have not known what to do now with the changes in the regulations that require more transparent hiring of the PFAEs, and have opted for the easiest solution, which is to return the money without caring at all about the damage they do to many families in the municipality," Vizcaíno denounces.
For the municipal spokesperson of CC Tías, what happened "demonstrates the exhaustion of an obsolete model of government, which acts by inertia, without planning or vision of the future. Mayor José Juan Cruz has become an obstacle to the progress of the municipality. His negligence and lack of management capacity are having very serious consequences for Tías. Losing one million euros earmarked for training and employment is not a minor error, it is a serious political negligence with first and last names,” he states.
CC Tías demands public and urgent explanations from the government group and maximum transparency regarding the procedure that led to the loss of these subsidies. "The money has not been lost by chance or due to the technicians. It has been lost because the PSOE has not done its job, because it has not been able to adapt to the new legal requirements nor has it been willing to find solutions," insists the nationalist spokesperson.
The Canarian nationalist party regrets that "while other municipalities have been able to take advantage of the funds from the Canarian Employment Service to generate opportunities, Tías remains at the bottom due to a governing group more concerned with staying in power than with managing effectively." In this regard, Vizcaíno emphasizes that "Coalición Canaria will continue to oversee the actions of the local government and defend the general interest of the residents of Tías against the abandonment and mismanagement of the PSOE."
