The candidate of the Popular Party for the Tías City Council, Pancho Hernández, presented this weekend the people who will accompany him in his candidacy for the next elections on May 22. Numerous residents of the municipality of Tías supported Hernández and his team in an event that took place in the El Fondeadero Civic Center of Puerto del Carmen, as reported by the PP through a statement.
During his speech, Pancho Hernández explained that "the PP in Tías offers ideas, projects and solutions, compared to an absolutely exhausted socialist government." "After 28 years of socialist government, the residents of Tías have had enough and are asking, now more than ever, for political change," he said. A change that, in Hernández's opinion, "is not only necessary, but also healthy." "Alternation in politics is good, what cannot happen is that someone, like the socialist candidate, believes that the City Council is their private estate," he stressed.
Pancho Hernández stressed that "political change in Tías is unstoppable and will come from the Popular Party, because we are the only possible alternative." For the popular candidate, the balance of these last four years in the Tías City Council has been "disastrous." "The socialist mayor has been a terrible manager and has squandered public money in the best Zapatero style, with the only difference that the latter has decided to leave before the citizens kick him out, while the current mayor of Tías will be on May 22 when the residents tell him that this is as far as we have come," he said.
Hernández harshly criticized the increase in the IBI in Tías, calling it a "binge" by the government group to "try to solve the serious economic problems that the City Council has at the expense of the citizens' pockets."
Measures of the Popular Party
Among the more than 60 measures presented in the electoral program of the Popular Party in Tías, Pancho Hernández highlighted the tax reduction, the budget adjustment and the containment of spending, as well as the reduction of the salaries of public officials with exclusive dedication.
On the other hand, the recovery of the tourist area of Puerto del Carmen, as the main economic engine of the municipality, and the urgent elimination of sewage spills to the Avenue and the beaches, will also be other priorities of the Popular Party. Likewise, Hernández insisted on the need to launch various beautification plans for the municipality, "because we want cleaner, healthier towns with more quality of life and well-being."
The popular also propose proposals to promote sports, culture and care for the elderly, proposing the creation of the Municipal Institute of Sports and the Municipal Center of Culture, in addition to promoting, among other measures, housing rehabilitation programs for elderly people with few resources.
A change to progress
During the presentation of the PP candidacy in Tías, the popular candidate for the Island Council and the Parliament, Astrid Pérez, also spoke, who pointed out that "the change in our island and in the seven municipalities begins by having a clear management model, whose main priority is employment."
"From the Popular Party we are convinced that Lanzarote can be a prosperous and modern island, where there is full employment. However, this will not be possible if there is no political change, a management model different from the one we have had in the last 20 years, which has led us to paralysis and ruin," he said.
Finally, Astrid Pérez indicated that the Canary Islands is also facing a difficult legislature and that therefore we need structural and courageous reforms, "which can only come from the hand of a great manager, as José Manuel Soria is and has proven to be, regional president of the Popular Party and the next president of the Government of the Canary Islands."
