The senators of the Canarian Coalition (CC), José Mendoza Cabrera and Ricardo Melchior Navarro, lead the statistics of oral questions to the ministers of the State Government formulated in the plenary of the Upper House, after the conclusion of the third session of the VIII Legislature. José Mendoza Cabrera, senator for the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands and spokesperson for CC, is - of the 258 senators that make up the Upper House - the one who has asked the most questions to the ministers in the plenary sessions held so far. The CC spokesperson has raised a total of 24 oral questions, all of them related to matters relating to the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands.

For his part, the CC senator for the island of Tenerife, Ricardo Melchior Navarro, is third in said statistics with a total of 17 oral questions. Between both Canarian nationalist senators is Eduardo Cuenca, from Izquierda Unida, with a total of 18 questions in plenary. These data - which can be verified on the Senate website - ratify the important role played so far by the Canarian Coalition Group in the Upper House, despite being the smallest of the seven that exist in the Senate. Focusing on the data for the 13 Canarian senators, the statistics underline the active role of the four CC senators in the section of oral questions to the Government ministers. José Mendoza and Ricardo Melchior are followed by CC senators José Luis Perestelo Rodríguez (6) and Félix Ayala Fonte (4).

Afterwards are the socialists Arcadio Díaz Tejera and José Vicente González, with three questions each, and the popular María del Carmen Guerra and Javier Sánchez Simón, with 2 questions each. The socialist from Lanzarote, Marcos Hernández, has only added one oral question, as has the PSOE representative for the island of Tenerife, Patricia Hernández. Finally, despite the time elapsed, Ana Padilla (PP, Fuerteventura), José Macías (PP, Gran Canaria) and Casimiro Curbelo (PSOE, La Gomera) have not raised oral questions to the ministers of the Socialist Cabinet in the first three sessions of the current Legislature.
