The current Sports Councilor of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and president of the Local Committee, Lorenzo Reyes, will lead the Popular Party's candidacy for the City Council of San Bartolomé. He will do so 18 years after joining the Popular Party's project with Nuevas Generaciones and actively participating in the social, cultural and sports activity of a municipality of which he acknowledged feeling deeply proud.
"I am making myself available to the residents with humility, honesty and with the firm commitment to work for each and every one of the towns in the municipality," Reyes said after outlining the panorama of unfulfilled promises and stalled projects that have been added throughout the legislature in which "once again the socialists have used the City Council as a springboard for personal political aspirations."
"The PSOE has configured a cyclical government, of continuous relays that have led to the residents of San Bartolomé having to endure four years of an absent mayor."
The candidate highlighted as one of the biggest failures of the current government the fact that they have been unable to approve the General Plan and thus curb all the potential for growth and development that the municipality has. "In this area we continue to live off the income of previous governments because if they have been characterized by anything, it is by failing to fulfill even their own promises."
Reyes, who has been accompanied in his presentation by the island president and candidate for Arrecife, Astrid Pérez, by the rest of the candidates for the City Council and Cabildo, and his colleagues from the local committee, wanted to highlight the work done by the Popular Party in the consistory "because we have always been on the side of the residents, highlighting their needs and the many shortcomings they suffer from in terms of infrastructure and services." "Nothing has been done in the San Bartolomé pavilion, with the Ajei house, the picnic area or with the town hall building itself." Lorenzo Reyes also highlighted the lack of investment in the town of Playa Honda where there are significant problems of lack of lighting, sidewalks and accessibility.
