The CEO of the Tourist Centers, Benjamín Perdomo, has lashed out this Monday against Coalición Canaria, whom he accuses of "provincial classism". This is how he responded to "the public lynching to which the professionals who work day by day to maintain César Manrique's work in the best conditions are being subjected” after the news that 10% of the annual profits of the Tourist Centers will be granted to the workers.
“It is a new furious attack, one more, from the one who pulls the strings of this formation; a new outburst from someone who distills so much hatred towards a group of workers who have only fought with dignity to defend their rights and oppose the ways of someone who only knows how to order and command,” Perdomo pointed out.
The CEO of the Tourist Centers wanted to remember that “the Tax Network also approved a Productivity Regulation just a year ago. However, the nationalists and their friendly media were never heard raising their voices as against the workers of the Tourist Centers”. “It is curious and surprising that they let the situation run with some and, on the contrary, attack others with such vehemence. In any case, we will have to ask them why” he continued.
“But it is even more grotesque that those who tear their clothes are the same ones who gave the sculptor Jason deCaires 10% of the gross margin of the income corresponding to the merchandising of the Atlantic Museum, the tribute to corruption submerged in the waters of Playa Blanca, near a famous marina”, explained the CEO of the Entity.
“Coalición Canaria recovers a way of doing politics that we thought was already extinct. It is the best example of the provincial classism exercised by those who abuse those they consider inferior and are submissive and servile towards those they consider above them. In this case, that of a sculptor whose merit was to become friends with a president who had the idea of filling the wonderful seabed of Lanzarote with sculptures, including four by a lawyer who was a very good friend of his, who, it has later become known, paid him a huge amount of public money from the First Institution”.
The CEO of the Tourist Centers recalled, finally, that the sculptures under the sea of Playa Blanca “are now for public enjoyment, after having closed their doors in 2020 with accumulated losses of one million euros and having received the visit of an average of 22 divers per day during 2019”.
