The socialists of Lanzarote publicly presented this Saturday the candidacy of José Juan Cruz for the mayoralty of Tías for the next elections in May, which was ratified by the party last January.
The current mayor of the municipality thus repeats his presence as head of the list to the City Council. A position he hopes to re-edit in the next elections "with the support of a team with extensive management experience." A condition that Cruz considers "more than necessary in these difficult times."
In his speech to more than 200 people, Cruz made a balance of results of the last term, of which he highlighted the project to renovate the obsolete accommodation plant in Puerto del Carmen. "When we finish the works, we will be at the forefront of the national tourist offer again," he said.
He also referred to the important municipal investment of funds from Plan E, which among other things has allowed the remodeling of the Tías theater and the construction of the future Leisure, Health and Sports Center, with a budget of more than two million euros.
For his part, the general secretary of the PSOE in Lanzarote, Carlos Espino, raised the importance of "maintaining the electoral debate on good municipal government, against those who seek to shift attention to national issues."
The PSOE candidate for the Cabildo, Manuela Armas, recalled the need to "govern for the future, attending to energy needs and valuing the natural resources available to Lanzarote."
Finally, the head of the list to the Parliament of the Canary Islands for the PSOE, Manuel Fajardo, harshly criticized "the continuous and constant discrimination" to which the government of PP and CC submit the island. "The Canary Islands deserve a change and we are in a position to make it possible," he said.
