Ciudadanos in Lanzarote will present 75 proposals for the distribution of the 21 million euros that correspond to the island from the General Tax on Business Traffic (IGTE). The formation's advisor in the Cabildo, Benjamín Perdomo, has pointed out that "a staggered distribution has been made, which includes all the municipalities of Lanzarote, and in which three large blocks have been taken into account", which are "employment policies, infrastructures, and new technologies". The president of the Cabildo had urged the opposition groups to make their proposals for the distribution of these funds by the Government of the Canary Islands.

Perdomo has stated that the formation has done "a great job so that the money can reach all the municipalities." In this sense, he pointed out that Ciudadanos in Lanzarote "will advocate promoting those infrastructures that are paralyzed, despite already having a project", and has alluded to the cases of the Lanzarote Nautical Center and the Tías diving center. Likewise, he has announced that C's will also request "the rehabilitation of the socio-cultural centers of Lanzarote".

In relation to employment, Benjamín Perdomo has indicated that "special consideration has been given to the age groups that have the greatest difficulty when it comes to entering the labor market in the islands", so the proposals "pay special attention to young people and those over 45 years of age". However, "they do not forget the section between 30 and 45 years old", since "it is the age range that does not have any type of bonus or subsidy for hiring".

Finally, C's has proposed "the integral installation of fiber optics throughout the island", to which other measures will be added that "allow to promote and develop new technologies in Lanzarote".
