The councilors of the Popular Party in the Yaiza City Council, Juan Monzón and Guayo Rodríguez, have criticized that "the mayor Óscar Noda has deceived the residents by promising in the electoral campaign that he was going to transfer land to the Autonomous Community for the construction of public housing in the municipality and five months later he refuses to fulfill his commitment".
In this regard, the populars explain that, in the last plenary session "and the only one of this mandate", they raised "the proposal in which practically all the parties that ran in the elections in the municipality of Yaiza agreed, which is none other than the transfer of land to the Canarian Housing Institute so that this body includes Yaiza in the programming of projects in which to build social housing on the island". However, they affirm that the motion had the favorable vote of the opposition parties, PSOE, Ciudadanos and Lanzarote en Pie, and the vote against the government group LAVA (UPY, PIL) and Coalición Canaria.
According to the PP councilors, "the mayor Óscar Noda acknowledged in plenary that Unidos Por Yaiza had this issue in its program" but said that "analyzing the situation coldly, rectifying is wise and it is better to contemplate other options".
"We are astonished to see how the government group in just 100 days goes from promising the residents that this problem would be addressed with the transfer and now that they have recovered the baton of command, where I said I say, I say Diego and they blatantly change their discourse", said the municipal spokesperson for the PP, Juan Monzón.
"From the Popular Party we are not opposed to seeking different types of answers to the serious housing problem but, as we already expressed in the plenary session, short-term actions such as the purchase of empty housing are not incompatible with us doing our homework looking to the long term. It is evident that with the growth forecasts that the municipality has, emergency measures such as those being proposed have no place, hence we persist in our proposal to provide land to the regional executive", concludes Monzón.
