The third deputy mayor and councilor of the Local Police of Teguise, Ginés González, gave an interview on Radio Lanzarote-Onda Cero this Thursday to talk about his decision to leave the Vox political party with which he ran in the local elections a year ago.
For the moment, the councilor, who remains in the Government Group together with Coalición Canaria and the Partido Popular, has assured that "right now he does not see himself in either PP or CC."
Since the announcement of his resignation from the party, he has clarified that he was in a "complicated situation", and that he has made the decision as a result of the different attitudes of Vox in recent months. "I am leaving the party because of the decisions that have been made," he stressed.
One of the main reasons why he has made the decision to leave Santiago Abascal's party, as he explained in the press conference he gave on July 15, is the position of the far-right formation on the mandatory distribution of migrant children to other autonomous communities, to relieve the pressure on the resources of the Canary archipelago.
"It has been the straw that broke the camel's back. I don't think it's fair for the Canary Islands to take on everything, the burden must be shared," he said, while stressing that "the Canary Islands are also Spain."
González explained on the morning show Buenos días, Lanzarote that his values have always marked his time in the political formation and that these "have always been the same. I have my principles and values, I had them when I entered and I have them now," he stressed. In his words, he confirmed that "he has been clear", despite what people may think from the outside. "They can say that I have failed or betrayed, but that has not been the case," he said.
He has also shown his point of view on the position of the president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, on the migrant children who arrive in Spain and has assured that not all the opinions of the party can be shared. "It is not a sect and there is no one who thinks 100% the same as the party," he concluded.
The possibility of leaving the seat
The next person on the list is Roger Deign, number 2 of Vox in Teguise, who would be a councilor in the event that Ginés resigned from the seat. Something to which González has clarified that he "does not release the seat", that he "owes it to the people who have voted", in addition to the fact of "having committed to endure".
In the talk on the radio he confessed that Deign "wanted him to release the seat to enter him." In addition, he has acknowledged that when he was negotiating the pact in Teguise he was suggested that he "should abstain so that the PSOE could enter Teguise," he added.
A strategy that according to González, is a "barbarity and that does not help the party", he stressed in the conversation on the radio.
