Más Canarias has elected its Executive Board this Saturday, during the first political Congress of the party, in which the intention to put ecologism "at the center of the Canarian agenda for the coming years" has been shown. Javier Navarro Lasso from Lanzarote has been selected by the members as general coordinator, while Marta Hernández will be the vice-coordinator.
78% of the people affiliated and registered to the party participated in the elections. All of those votes went to elect Navarro Lasso as general coordinator, who has thanked the members for their trust and has defended that to end the discriminatory messages of the extreme right it is not enough to "be on the good side". "Without ambition, without serious policies, without a real future to offer we will not achieve it," he emphasized, on a day in which it has been praised that the future "must be green or it will not be."
Marta Hernández was elected vice-coordinator with 60.4% acceptance, and in her speech she reaffirmed "her commitment to the party and to all the people who have given her their trust." The position of treasurer, with 68.2% of the votes, will be held by Arián Cabrera, while the new secretary will be Florisela Rodríguez, after obtaining the support of 51.63% of those who voted. The Executive Board has been closed with the election of Cristina Castro, Jesús Martínez and Antonio José Mateo as members.
Many of the "sister" parties from other regions of Spain have given their support to Más Canarias on this date, including the co-spokesperson of Verdes-Equo at the national level, Florent Marcellesi, who has highlighted that it is time to do politics "in convulsive and difficult times" after the war in Ukraine.
"Faced with all this, more than ever a green political response and social progress is needed, that is, a project that puts the ecological transition with justice and rights at the center in a transversal way," he said.
