Larry Alvarez, spokesperson for the Popular Party (PP), announced that his political party and the Canarian Coalition (CC) have reached a programmatic agreement to govern the Canary Islands for the next four years, in the sixth meeting held by the two parties.
After the conclusion of the sixth meeting between the negotiating committees of both parties held today in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, they explained that the meetings for the distribution of the different areas of government will be held on Monday and Tuesday. The signing of the agreement will be held on Wednesday, July 4 in Madrid, and Mariano Rajoy will participate for the PP and Paulino Rivero for CC.
CC and PP have reached agreements such as that of the Autonomous Police, which will be complementary to the rest of the State Security Forces and Corps, although "its deployment and financing will have to be coordinated with the Ministry of the Interior, without prejudice to the initial financing of the Autonomous Community".
Barragán expressed his hope that the Spanish Government presided over by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero will support this initiative, since two months ago it gave the green light to a police force not attached to the National Police in the Galician community. The spokesperson for the nationalists assured that his party and the PP will not make "a policy of confrontation with the PSOE Government".
Another aspect that has been addressed refers to Tourism, which will include a package of initiatives for transport in La Graciosa that will reduce the cost of transporting people and goods "to alleviate its triple insularity", said Álvarez. Measures that the Canarian "will begin to notice day by day", he said.
The renovation of the accommodation plant is intended to be carried out with the collaboration of the Cabildos, City Councils and businessmen, and "as we explained at the Tourism Summit, to incentivize businessmen to change their accommodation in declining areas to give them others in a better place, ceding the former to the City Councils".
Both formations agreed on the need to improve the "Guidelines Law" and Barragán specified that CC "will never support its disappearance", which serves to regulate the archipelago's tourist growth in its limited territory. On the contrary, Álvarez assured that he does not rule out its modification.
José Miguel Barragán denied that the representation of Gran Canaria in the Government will correspond to the PP and assured that the future Canarian president, Paulino Rivero, "has in mind to make a balanced government", which must not only materialize in the appointment of those responsible for the different ministries. Barragán also denied that the representation quota that CC of Gran Canaria will have in the next regional government will be proportional to the votes that this formation obtained in it.
