The candidate of Coalición Canaria for Mayor of San Bartolomé, David Rocío, sent a clear and forceful message to all the people who came this Saturday, April 15, to the Plaza de Santa Elena in Playa Honda, to meet the faces of those who accompany him on the list with which he is running for the elections on May 28: “Four years of growth start with you”.
In an event that included the island secretary of the nationalist formation and candidate for Parliament for the Lanzarote constituency, Migdalia Machín, in addition to the rest of the municipal candidates, different public and organic positions of CC, affiliates, sympathizers, and a wide presence of the general public (the candidate for the Cabildo, Oswaldo Betancort, could not attend but sent his support through a video), David Rocío pointed out that the last four years have been a lost time for a municipality that had every chance to prosper and that has not only been stuck but has suffered a considerable delay in every way.
“The reality of the socialist party's management is that they have spent two million euros on promoting the mayor himself to pretend that he was working. 14 press releases on the underpass of the LZ-2, ten to bet on it and four to say no, that it is no longer buried, that if not the shop windows are covered”, said David Rocío, who insisted that “it must be made clear, the underpass is not where we send the cars, the underpass is to turn that LZ-2 into the 3 de Mayo avenue of Santa Cruz. The growth of employment and the economy of this municipality depends on it”.
The CC candidate also recalled that the government group has also published in that period another eight press releases boasting that it was going to release a general plan “that has remained as it was in 2013, stuck in a drawer”.
"In a sum and continue of government nonsense", Rocío also recalled "the PSOE's game with the El Quintero School". “18 notes; that if they give up the land, that if they give us the money, that if we recover the land, etc., and in each of them announcing that the works would begin first in six months, then that year and so on one note after another”, he added.
Thus, he announced that for the new term that begins on May 28, Coalición Canaria "is once again betting on the growth of the municipality at all levels and one by one he was detailing the points of his electoral program while presenting the members of the list".
“Each of them has a mission and an objective: To get a 24-hour emergency service, to recover the municipality as an island reference for local commerce, sports infrastructures including a therapeutic pool, real accessibility in each and every one of the towns, to promote the primary sector, to renew cultural infrastructures and count on the groups, to apply correct policies in favor of animal welfare, to work to also improve transport, education, health, the environment, social care for the elderly, housing, young people, etc. There is no time to lose”, he stressed.
For her part, Migdalia Machín, assured that “San Bartolomé has more than enough potential to become a prosperous municipality, but for that it is necessary to have a government that believes it and wants to execute an ambitious, clear and possible project, that thinks not only of responding to the needs of the citizens but of anticipating their demands”.
Thus, she insisted that the underpass of the LZ-2 “is vital to gain public space between the residential area and the industrial area, improve connectivity and public services”, and praised the work of David Rocío speaking of his experience and his desire to work for his municipality: “David has what it takes to assume the responsibility; a desire that has not waned in these years, despite the obstacles of the government group. I applaud his perseverance and that of his team, the willingness, the concern to inform and help people, to contribute ideas at all times and to lend a hand when necessary”.
The island secretary of CC also stressed that “the pandemic has done a lot of damage to the municipal economy, but even more damage has been done by this PSOE government that has not been able to respond to the needs of the citizens and that has limited itself to doing the same as the PSOE in the Cabildo and in the Government of the Canary Islands: closing their eyes and saying amen to what Madrid says”.
Finally, after recalling that "winning an election from the opposition is not easy, but it is not impossible either", Machín stressed that winning is not everything and stressed that “what we want is to govern, and we are going to arrive on May 28 with a strong and powerful team in each of our institutions”.
