The Island Executive Committee of the Canarian Coalition, which met on Friday afternoon, unanimously agreed to ask Councilors Sergio Machín and Mónica Álvarez, who "do not comply with the decisions adopted, to hand over their seats to the party for which they were elected."
"This leadership is here to change the way politics is done in Lanzarote, and it is time to stop prioritizing personal interests over the general interests and those of the citizens," said its General Secretary, David de La Hoz. In this way, the nationalists wanted to "emphasize the work done in the Cabildo of Lanzarote, which, despite the political situation, has carried out many issues of interest to the citizens of the Island in this plenary session."
The Island Executive Committee wanted to "highlight the importance of having been able to overcome the obstacles so that the aid to the students of the Island who need it can reach those families after two weeks of obstacles and attempts to boycott this initiative." "Extraordinary aid adapted to the requests of the families and that due to its typology are unique among the Island Councils."
In the same way, they valued in the statement "the interest for the Island of the budget modifications and agreements approved for a value of more than 7.2 million Euros that will allow, among others, the implementation of the Agreement against Gender Violence that will allow the Council to develop support policies for those affected, the signing of an agreement for 1.6 million Euros for the sectoral plans of Heritage and Culture, the early reduction of financial debt by 3 million Euros."
The attendees at the I.E.C. valued "the effort made by the Cabildo of Lanzarote to support the municipalities of the Island in these moments of crisis and that will allow to move the economy in the Island with the 90,000 euros for the modernization of Public Transport in Arrecife, the 40,000 euros for the rehabilitation of the Molina de Mácher and the 1.2 million destined to the City Councils for the Execution of Works of municipal interest."
They have also highlighted the "importance of the possibility that the youth card; which brings so many benefits to this sector of the population, in these moments of economic crisis, can be processed from the Cabildo itself and independently and agilely to the previous system.
