IU has criticized the fact that the Canary Islands Government decided to suspend this Monday's plenary session, in which the Historical Memory was going to be debated, due to weather alerts, after having published on its networks the night before the continuity of classes despite the storm that has been established in the islands.

"It seems that for Clavijo's team the popular classes are not at any risk in the face of certain adverse phenomena, while their privileged political class could be harmed. In this way, while the students of the islands must go to their daily educational appointment with scarce resources, and the workers in general to their corresponding positions, whether in offices or on roads, the political class of the Canarian Coalition allows itself the luxury of suspending an uncomfortable plenary session using bad weather as an excuse," the party points out. 

The left-wing formation denounces the "political negligence" of the Canarian Government, as it believes that if the alert gives rise to suspending a plenary session in the Parliament of the Canary Islands, "prevention measures must be taken for the rest of the citizens under equal conditions." "If not taken, it would seem that the Government has simply refused to hold the plenary session today due to lack of interest in the agenda and that is a serious lack of democracy," concludes IU.
