They admit that they have not met their "electoral expectations", but they highlight that they have grown in public positions and that the only absolute majorities are from the Canarian Coalition. The failures in San Bartolomé and Arrecife, "the result of internal division" that they have suffered in this legislature, have led the CC leadership to rethink its electoral strategy. This Saturday, after the meeting of the Permanent Commission in which the result of the polls has been analyzed, Mario Pérez, island president of the party, has appeared before the media to recognize that "they have underestimated their adversary", in reference to the Party of Independents of Lanzarote and that they will be in the opposition "without rancor" because Lanzarote has decided so.
The analysis of the Permanent Commission has focused on the communication of the Party, since, according to Mario Pérez, the lists have been led with "the best people and the best teams chosen here because nobody appointed candidates from a distance." In addition, they consider that it is an "unquestionable truth" that the Canarian Coalition has improved the institutions in a "tremendously positive legislature". "The management has not placed us in the opposition. We have not been able to transmit the message as a strong project," argued the president of the formation.
Mario Pérez has highlighted the need to "strengthen the party's bodies" in the municipalities, especially in Teguise, Arrecife and San Bartolomé, with a "reformulation" of them. Now they are considering as a challenge the next general elections in which they assure that CC must opt to "lead the process of relations with the State through the Congress of Deputies". To this end, they propose to improve communication, in which they consider they have failed in these elections.
In the meeting and subsequent press conference that was planned to be offered by all the candidates, the absence of Miguel Martín, Leonardo Rodríguez and mainly Inés Rojas and Juan Pedro Hernández stood out. And it is that of the former members of the PIL who joined the CC project heading electoral lists, only María Isabel Déniz has participated in the press conference, with which she has announced her retirement from active politics without the presence of any of the colleagues with whom she starred in the trip to the Canarian Coalition.
