The spokesman for the Nationalist Group (CC-PNC) in the Tías City Council, Amado Vizcaíno, has urged the mayor of the municipality, the socialist José Juan Cruz Saavedra, "to comply with the mandate of the plenary and open the municipal sports facilities to the public, as agreed in the ordinary session held in February."
The spokesman for CC, Amado Vizcaíno, points out that in said plenary the motion of the nationalists was supported and it was agreed that said facilities would reopen their doors when the health situation allowed it. That is, once alert level 4 was considered finished.
“However, we have been in phase 2 for weeks and while other city councils have already launched their contingency plans and are allowing public entry, in Tías it is only possible if they are national category teams”, Vizcaíno explained, adding that “it is known that the virus should only attack parents who want to go see their children's games.”
The nationalist councilor recalls again that since the state of alarm was decreed almost a year ago due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with a total confinement of the population, different scenarios have been happening with different measures, establishing restrictions for health security and carried out by recommendation of specialists in the matter.
Two months ago, after getting support for his motion, supported even "by the councilor of the Popular Party, Francisco Aparicio, who in turn is Minister of Sports in the Island Council", Vizcaíno was confident that the "unfair" situation that sports clubs and facilities are suffering would end. "But apparently even plenary agreements are no longer respected,” he laments.
“We are not going to act the same way that the PSOE is doing in the city councils governed by CC, demanding contingency plans, because we understand that the Tías City Council is not taking this matter as a joke and, ensuring the safety of everyone, has done its job. All we demand is that, for the good of the entire municipality, it complies with what was agreed two months ago,” Vizcaíno asserts.
Finally, the CC spokesman points out that "what is regrettable is that José Juan Cruz, as Secretary of Organization of the PSOE, allows his president, Mª Dolores Corujo, to try to question the work of the rest of the city councils that do comply with what is established by the committee of experts of the Government of the Canary Islands and its health indications.”
