The Councilor for Public Works of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, Jacobo Medina, spoke on the morning of this past Tuesday on Radio Lanzarote-Onda Cero to show his disagreement with his partners in the first island institution after a disagreement for having omitted him in a press release about the Tahíche nursing home. At the same time, he took the opportunity to talk about his candidacy as a candidate of the Popular Party to preside over the first island institution in the 2027 elections.
"I know that some, some, would like us to step aside, go to another party, go home, but I still have a lot to give," Jacobo Medina said about the rumors on the island that indicated that he would be considering creating a political project outside the Popular Party. "I still have enough strength," he continued, despite the fact that his party decided to remove him from the Vice Presidency of the Cabildo.
Medina has defended that the PP is the party he trusts and that he would like to repeat as a candidate to preside over the Cabildo of Lanzarote, as he already did in the last two previous elections, in 2019 and 2023. "I have had the second best result in the history of the Popular Party to the Cabildo of Lanzarote in 2019 and I have had the second best result in the history of the Popular Party of Lanzarote to the Cabildo in 2023 again," he added.
Omitted from a press release from the Cabildo
Medina highlighted in the morning radio program Buenos días, Lanzarote making public that his government partners omitted him from the press release and in the images where the start of the construction of the Tahíche nursing home was announced and where the Vice President of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and his party colleague María Jesús Tovar did appear.
"On Friday, an unusual event happened," the councilor began during his radio intervention, where he took the opportunity to remember that the Tahíche nursing home is "a public work promoted from the area of public works of the Cabildo of Lanzarote."
Medina has denounced that his government partners hid him from the press release of this expected project. "I don't know if it was artificial intelligence, but we don't appear in the photo, which is no longer important, nor in the press release itself," he added. "We all have our little heart," he continued.
In his speech, he also pointed out that "the Cabildo is in a situation of spending just and necessary," and that to finance the announced works of the project to reopen the Los Hervideros road, they have needed to go to the Government of the Canary Islands.
