The PP candidates from Lanzarote for the mayoralties of the different municipalities of the island and the Cabildo, headed by the island president and mayor of Arrecife, Astrid Pérez, have participated in the 26th Intermunicipal held this past weekend in Valencia and which has brought together the PP candidates from all over Spain.
The event has marked the beginning of the road to the electoral campaign for May 28 and has done so under a motto that summarizes the model of a party that is "at the service of well-being, the general interest and each and every one of the neighbors." "A model of moderation, of building Spain among all, which comes precisely from municipalism, from good government and from a close policy and attention to the needs of the neighbors," said the president of the Lanzarote Populars, Astrid Pérez.
"A good government" that was also defended by the councilor and PP candidate for the presidency of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and La Graciosa, Jacobo Medina, who participated in the first of the working tables on local and island corporations as managers of the crisis, moderated by José Luis Almeida, mayor of Madrid.
In his speech, Medina highlighted "the management carried out during the health crisis by the city councils and the island councils, which had to assume powers that do not belong to them due to the lack of response from the Government of the Canary Islands and the State." Medina gave as an example the management carried out in Arrecife by Astrid Pérez, "which allowed guaranteeing the zero quota of the dining room for schoolchildren and the most vulnerable families, as well as the proposal of Lanzarote in terms of Tourism as Covid Safe, a pilot test to turn the island into the first safe tourist destination in the world and favor the rapid reactivation of the sector."
During his presentation, Medina also made a special mention to the "great work done by his colleagues in La Palma in the figures of the president of the Cabildo, Mariano Hernández, and the mayor of Los Llanos, Noelia García." "The people of La Palma have suffered a triple catastrophe: the pandemic, the volcano and Sánchez, who still fails to comply with the aid he promised. Less Falcon and more compliance with the promises to the people of La Palma," said the councilor and popular candidate.
