The president of the Popular Party of Lanzarote, Ástrid Pérez, values "with sadness and indignation how the inability of the Socialist Party has ended up leaving Arrecife without the economic item planned this year for the construction of some 400 social houses in the capital". A fact that she recalls that "the Popular Party had already warned about since the beginning of the year" and that she affirms that "it has finally been confirmed by the Director of Housing of the Government of the Canary Islands".

"When Lanzarote or any municipality has a problem and there is no money to solve it, it gives impotence, but when having the money is lost due to negligence and mismanagement, which is what happens in Arrecife, one cannot feel anything other than courage and desolation in the face of so much incompetence", says Ástrid Pérez, who affirms that "it is the feeling that the families who have been waiting for these public housing promotions for years have right now".

The president of the Lanzarote populars considers that, "during the last year, citizens have done nothing but attend the theater set up by the mayoress with the approval of the PSOE and listen to a string of excuses and lies with which to justify the unjustifiable: that they have neither the capacity nor the desire to manage Arrecife".

"And the worst thing is that they have also lied to the people of Arrecife when a few months ago they stated that the land was already transferred when it was not. The reality is that we had the money, the 3.4 million euros, that the Government of the Canary Islands had everything prepared to tender the project and that it could not be done because the socialist government did not complete the file in a timely manner", she adds. 

 

"The City Council that has the largest number of stalled investments"


Pérez maintains that "what is happening in Arrecife is an outrage for which there are no possible excuses". "The expectations of hundreds of families have been thrown to the ground and from the PSOE island secretariat this mouth has not been said, perhaps because they think that the worse Arrecife does, the better it will do to others", she says. 

Likewise, the president of the PP of Lanzarote assures that "the Arrecife City Council is the one that has, by far, the largest number of stalled investments due to lack of inter-administrative cooperation in projects aimed at improving the city". "The serious thing is that this not only means losing millionaire financing cards but also being penalized in successive exercises, which is mortgaging the future of the city", she concludes.
