Coalición Canaria considers that the budget of the Canary Islands Government for Arrecife is a "real outrage" and has announced that it will present "a battery of amendments aimed at fixing the punishment to which the president of the Canary Islands Executive, Ángel Víctor Torres, and the president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, Dolores Corujo, want to submit the third capital of the Canary Islands."
According to the nationalists, "the Canary Islands accounts forget about issues and infrastructures as important as the Arrecife Congress Palace, the rainwater works, the undergrounding to fix the problems in the south and central entrances of the capital, or the more than necessary, demanded and promised Argana Health Center."
"I hope that no parliamentarian from this island raises their hand to approve accounts that mistreat us in this way and do not include such vital issues as the Argana Health Center," emphasizes the municipal spokesperson and candidate for Mayor, Echedey Eugenio, who announces that he "only trusts" the deputies of the Nationalist Parliamentary Group (Oswaldo Betancort, David de la Hoz and Jesús Machín), with whom he will soon hold a meeting "in order to determine what the lines of action will be in this regard."
Eugenio also hopes that the citizens "take good note of the attack against the city that the socialists intend to perpetrate" with these budgets. "I would like to see what face Dolores Corujo, Marcos Hernández, Lucía Olga Tejera or Pedro Viera will come with now to ask for the vote to Arrecife after having pulled the leg of all the Arrecife residents with this budget," he says.
Finally, the Arrecife nationalists, through their local secretary, Jacobo Lemes, assure that a campaign to collect signatures will be launched "to make Ángel Víctor Torres see the importance of Arrecife in the context of the Canary Islands."
"In addition to the fact that we are talking about very important infrastructures for the Arrecife population as a whole, the implementation of each of them would also promote youth employment, another of our major concerns," Lemes stresses.
