The Nationalist Group in the Cabildo of Lanzarote denounces that the president of the Cabildo, María Dolores Corujo, has convened "in extremis" and at an "inopportune time" the extraordinary plenary session requested by the opposition to demand that the Corporation "desist" from the ordinary bidding of the services currently provided by Adislan.
From CC they regret the "neglect" and the "lack of respect" of the president "towards Adislan and towards all the families that depend on the provision of their services." "Making a display of her total lack of democratic spirit, the president has waited from January 19 to February 4 to convene a plenary session that is vital for dependency services on the island. A plenary session that will take place on February 9 at 2:30 p.m., an unprecedented time, which shows that the president does not want this issue to be discussed and that it does not have any media repercussions," laments the deputy spokesperson for CC-PNC, Pedro San Ginés.
"Everything is part of the dismantling policy and the null management of someone who is incapable of fulfilling her main obligation and responsibility as president, neither with the ordinary plenary sessions nor with the debate on the state of the island," says the spokesperson.
The nationalists add that now the president postpones "as much as possible" that the highest body of insular representation debates on an issue as important as that Adislan, an NGO declared of public interest, "may have the same options as the rest of NGOs in the third sector in the Canary Islands, in order to continue with the service that it has been offering to the citizens of Lanzarote and La Graciosa for more than half a century." "The same thing she did with AFA, whose service she already awarded," they add.
In this regard, they point out that, "fortunately, so far they have not been able to materialize the awarding of the services provided by the Association of Relatives of Alzheimer's Patients because they have assigned until 2026 the facilities in which it operates, without the Cabildo having concluded the taking of possession of them."
"It is truly regrettable that while in the Canary Islands the 'Pact of the Flowers' (PSOE-NC-Podemos-ASG) promotes and boasts of the agreement with NGOs in the development of the Social Services Law, in Lanzarote, the president of the Island Council, Dolores Corujo, does not hesitate to privatize dependency services, in a mercantile drift that only Unidas Podemos has the key to stop," emphasizes San Ginés.
The CC spokesperson also does not understand Corujo's "determination" to end NGOs that have been working on the island for decades "hand in hand with the PSOE in origin and until today, only to attack the previous government." "Without taking into account that who is really being harmed is a multitude of families in Lanzarote, putting their quality of life at risk," San Ginés concludes.
