The decision adopted this Monday by the Territorial Policy Commission of the Cabildo on the La Santa hotel represents, according to Coalición Canaria, a sample of the "opportunism that socialists continually exercise in the face of policies on the territory". An accusation launched from CC after seeing how the current government group of the Cabildo gave its favorable vote to the Declaration of General Interest of the project promoted by Club La Santa to build a 300-bed Hotel-Apartment with high-performance sports facilities. Thus, despite the validity of the Guidelines of the Government of the Canary Islands, this procedure would allow the construction of these tourist beds in Lanzarote, once the project is approved by Parliament, after a report from the Cabildo and the Governing Council.
The nationalists declare that this same project is the one that was approved last May, with the abstention of the PSOE, when CC presided over the Planning Commission. CC affirms that the socialists abstained arguing that this project implied "the greatest consumption of the territory." Thus, for the nationalists, the PSOE did not support this initiative because "it intended, once again, to make a patrimonial flag of the territory and the environment and, therefore, they could not support it on the eve of elections."
Thus, CC denounces that from the PSOE "they continue to pretend to exclusively own messages such as 'sustainable development' that we all share." Similarly, they say that they defend this fact, "with initiative and political rigor, not acting under the shelter of the electoral interests of a formation that uses messages and the Law according to its convenience."
