PIL and CC reach an agreement to remove José Francisco Reyes from the Mayor's Office

The PIL has announced that it has reached an agreement with CC to configure "a stable majority" in the municipality of Yaiza. They have announced this on Thursday in a press release in which they express that "after eight months since the local elections were held, without the ruling political force in the Yaiza City Council having reached an agreement with other political forces to give stability to that municipality, the Party of Independents of Lanzarote and the Canarian Coalition have agreed to configure a stable majority in said municipality, which allows them to face with guarantees the serious problems that affect it".

With this agreement, which materialized this Thursday with the presentation of a motion of censure, José Francisco Reyes, current mayor of Yaiza for the PNL, will have to leave the mayor's office. It should be remembered that since the May elections he governs with five councilors compared to the eight that make up the opposition.

The extraordinary Plenary Session in which the vote on the motion of censure will take place is held ten business days after it has been presented, so the session will take place on February 5 at 12:00 noon, according to CC sources.

The statement sent by the PIL does not refer to who will take over the reins of the Consistory, although everything points to Gladys Acuña being the new mayor, since the islanders have four councilors, and the representatives of CC in the City Council are three, with Leonardo Rodríguez as spokesperson.

The party presided over by Antonio Hernández also clarifies that the pact that unites them with the socialists in the Cabildo, Arrecife, San Bartolomé, Teguise and Tías remains as it is now, assuring that "stability is maintained in the rest of the island's institutions".

This agreement in Yaiza is not the only one that Dimas Martín's party has reached with the formation presided over by José Torres Stinga, since on January 15 they signed "a support pact", as the islanders now call it, to go under the same list to the next general elections on March 9 in order to obtain representation in the Congress of Deputies and continue to have "their own nationalist voice", according to the PIL.
