The Lanzarote Business Confederation (CEL) and representatives of the Popular Party at the island and regional level held a meeting this Tuesday in which the main proposals and needs of the island were shared.
At the meeting, issues of great importance within the scope of the economy and society were analyzed, as well as the demands of the business sector for the island for the next legislature.
The meeting was attended, on behalf of the CEL, by the general secretary, Beatriz Salazar, as well as other members of the Board of Directors and the integrated organizations. On behalf of the Popular Party, the head of the list to the Congress of Deputies for the province of Las Palmas, Jimena Delgado, attended the meeting; the candidate for the Senate for Lanzarote Jeziel Martín, the candidate for Congress for Lanzarote Lorena Martín and the vice president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, Jacobo Medina.
At the meeting, Beatriz Salazar conveyed to the popular representatives the main requests of the business sector in Lanzarote. On this, she highlighted the needs that the island's businessmen have and made known some of the problems that businessmen and entrepreneurs in Lanzarote are going through, especially with the search for qualified labor that satisfies the necessary job demand, as well as in housing, tourism, infrastructure and water supply.
For her part, the PP candidate for Congress of Deputies for the province of Las Palmas, Jimena Delgado, positively valued the meeting and recognized the need to "attack very clear problems to promote commerce and promote the self-employed."
Delgado expressed the need to improve infrastructure on the island, such as the airport and main ports. Finally, the popular candidate shared the need to achieve a solution to the lack of housing on the island, an aspect that she linked to the lack of qualified labor. In this sense, she concluded that "the lack of housing does not allow workers to settle on the island."
