The current island secretary of the Canarian Coalition in Lanzarote, Migdalia Machín, officially presented on Friday afternoon, her candidacy before the Organizing Committee of the island Congress, which will be held on May 28 and 29.
"A single candidacy, which highlights the union and good health enjoyed by the nationalist formation on the island, and which also has the support of a large majority of delegates who will support and accompany her on her way to re-election," they say from the party.
“These are very complicated times for Lanzarote and La Graciosa, which have been exacerbated by the consequences that the COVID-19 crisis has generated over this almost year and a half of pandemic. But it is not time to stand idly by but to move forward with a firm step because it is what we must do and what the citizens expect of us,” Machín has pointed out.
The candidate convened the members of the island political Council telematically last Thursday to announce her decision to run and announced that she would have Echedey Eugenio, current spokesperson and secretary of Communication, in her team to lead the Organization Secretariat of the party on the island.
She also reported that the current health situation has forced, due to commitment and responsibility, to seek a formula in which the telematic and face-to-face participation of the attendees to the Congress can be combined.
In this way, several contingency plans have been drawn up with anti-covid measures that will be scrupulously applied in the different venues, which will be distributed in the seven municipalities and La Graciosa, and which the delegates will be able to attend to debate the presentations and at the time of the vote.
Even so, most of the island Congress of the Canarian Coalition will be held telematically, through the Zoom platform.
“We assume this new stage with great enthusiasm and aware of the enormous work we have ahead of us. Our goal is to continue advancing so that in 2023 Lanzarote and La Graciosa have in each of their institutions a government that truly cares about the people who reside in them,” Eugenio said.
