"I trust that he will be fine and I trust that Carlos Espino, not only will be free from all suspicion, but will also be able to reveal what has been behind that complaint." This is how the general secretary of the Canarian socialists and candidate for the presidency of the Government of the Canary Islands, José Miguel Pérez, has expressed himself, with respect to the indictment of Carlos Espino, as a result of a lawsuit filed by the Board of Directors of CACT and promoted by the island president of the PP, Astrid Pérez.
In this sense, the general secretary of the PSOE in the Canary Islands, José Miguel Pérez, trusts that the circumstances of Carlos Espino "will be perfectly clarified." "The party has full confidence in him", he pointed out.
Upcoming elections
José Miguel Pérez has also referred to the upcoming elections in May 2011 and has announced, in this regard, that "on February 23, the lists of candidates in the Canary Islands will be drawn up to give them their approval."
In Lanzarote, for the moment, the PSOE candidates for the Cabildo and the Arrecife City Council are already known. Manuela Armas will fight for the presidency of the island institution, while José Montelongo will do so for the Mayor's Office of the capital City Council.
Regarding Manuela Armas, José Miguel Pérez has highlighted that "she was a very valuable person as president of the Cabildo" and trusts "that she can be again." "She has great internal and political strength and I am glad that she is the candidate," he said.
Regarding the candidate in Arrecife, Pérez has stated that he is "a young person, with a long history in Canarian politics on the island, who is at the head of a group formed by very young people with a lot of enthusiasm." "I think Arrecife has a very solid team to face these elections," he defended.
