The candidate for Mayor of Tinajo in the elections of May 28 by the Renovating Movement of Tinajo (MRT), Antonio Morales, proposes to turn Tinajo into a municipality "100% participatory and transparent with the help of its neighbors", reports the party.
Morales assures that "a true change of course is possible in the current evolution and of the last decade for the municipality, anchored in old and outdated policies, which have led Tinajo to be an exemplary municipality in the Canary Islands to be in the tail end of practically all the competences that are typical of a public administration", he acknowledges.
To achieve such challenges, he proposes, as stated in his electoral program, the implementation of participatory processes in which "all of us who live in Tinajo can be protagonists and decisive" in the design of a renewed municipality", he adds.
"We want to change Tinajo and we are going to do it side by side with our neighbors, with whom we will agree on the projects and the future planning for a municipality that we are going to place in the place where it should never have left", he says.
Specifically, Morales is committed to promoting "citizen consultations on issues related to our closest environment, on issues related to urban planning or mobility, in development plans, in investments that are considered most convenient and priority, also in the management of public services." "What we are pursuing is to be able to count on the contributions of the population itself, which will serve as a guide to orient the municipal policies of Tinajo and meet the most priority needs", the candidate emphasizes.
In this sense, Antonio Morales highlights the need for Tinajo to "have its own citizens again, whose day-to-day life is called to administer as a public institution." "We are going to return to the City Council of Tinajo the transparency of which it should be a reference and we will once again have an exemplary municipality in all types of policies, social, cultural, sports, cleaning, infrastructure, etc.", he explains.
Morales reiterates that the municipality "has been stagnant for too many years, with a Government that has not known or wanted to find a solution to the problems of Tinajo or the day-to-day problems of its neighbors".
"Give a real voice to the neighbors and for making them participants"
Therefore, Morales is committed to "give a real voice to the neighbors and for making them participants of where the resources that they justly pay through different taxes and fees are destined. Thus, he advocates "that from the City Council, which should be the administration closest to the citizen, participatory policies are led and governed in the direction that our own neighbors precisely indicate to us".
