Déniz, who made these statements during her speech at the II National Convention of the Canarian Coalition held on March 3 at the Alfredo Krauss Auditorium, praised "the qualitative aspects" of the Canary Islands and referred to figures as relevant in the international arena as Benito Pérez Galdós in literature, Agustín Bethencourt y Molina in engineering and César Manrique in the cohesion of man, art and nature, "only a sample of the large number of values that remained kidnapped until the government of the Canarian Coalition".
"The Canarian Coalition, quantitatively, has an indisputable letter of introduction, both for its achievements in infrastructure and for the projects executed in social matters, in Health and Education," said the candidate, who added that now "we must delve even deeper into the qualitative aspects, in competitiveness, in qualification in employment, in strengthening the awareness of the Canarian national people and in self-esteem, because the cohesion of a territory is not only achieved with the provision of infrastructure but with the elevation of these values".
María Isabel Déniz praised the territorial cohesion of the Canary Islands and spoke of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, always framing them in the whole of the Islands and the Canarian people. In a day provided with proposals, the Canarian Coalition presented a service record that reflects the progress of the Archipelago with the clear message that the party "will continue to be the most voted force in the next elections". Paulino Rivero, María del Mar Julios, Manuel Lobo, Ana Oramas and Javier González Ortiz were some of those who spoke at the nationalist Convention.
