The acting president of the Cabildo, Pedro San Ginés, has avoided commenting on his future in the institution at the press conference offered by CC this Tuesday after the agreement sealed by PP, PSOE, Nueva Canarias and Somos Lanzarote, in which he also sat among the public. "How will the group remain in the Cabildo? Does Pedro see himself as the head of the opposition in the coming years?" San Ginés was asked, to which he simply raised his hand in a gesture to the island secretary of CC, Migdalia Machín, so that she would respond.
"We will raise that in the party and rethink the whole situation as it may be. It is an issue that we have not discussed until now," Machín said for her part, after pointing out that "obviously" after the alliance signed this Monday "the context changes." "We are a party that until now has been governing in practically the entire island and now we will have to rethink. Today we are convening the Political Council a little to inform, yesterday we already did it with the Permanent, with all the local secretaries, with the president of the Cabildo and with the mayors, and then we will see how it remains," he indicated.
However, the island secretary of CC has pointed out that Pedro San Ginés "continues to be a reference" for CC". "And the data supports it no matter what others say. He has been the president who has given the most stability to the institution and we have also increased in votes in the Cabildo," said Migdalia Machín, who in any case has made it clear that the issue will be discussed within the party.
As for San Ginés, although he did not want to answer the question that a journalist expressly addressed to him, he did speak to correct Migdalia Machín at one point in the press conference, when she was stating that, in the negotiations with the PP, "they were constantly talking about a shield in the Cabildo." "In Arrecife", interrupted the CC candidate to the Cabildo from the public, after which Migdalia Machín corrected her words and pointed out that the shield in the capital "could not" be given to the populars.
