The Popular Party Group in the Cabildo of Lanzarote has responded to the "exchange of accusations" between CC and PSOE as a result of the "serious water supply problem" affecting the island of La Graciosa as a consequence of the rupture of a pipeline, and describes what is happening as "a disgrace."
The councilor of the Popular Party, Jacobo Medina, accuses both parties of acting "from hypocrisy." "Publicly throwing their belongings at each other and pointing to each other as guilty of the situation that the residents of Caleta de Sebo are experiencing when both, both CC and the Socialist Party, are responsible for this problem,” he points out.
“Some and others have governed and govern both in the Cabildo and in Teguise and, although breakdowns and cuts have been detected for months, until now they have not been able to solve them from the responsibility that each one has as members of the Insular Water Consortium.”
“It is a disgrace that in the 21st century we are having these supply problems of a good as essential as water,” says the popular councilor, who believes that the image that is being given of the island in the middle of August, and with a large influx of visitors, "is truly regrettable."
“What the neighbors expect is that the problem will be solved as soon as possible and that the necessary mechanisms will be put in place to guarantee a regular supply even when there is a breakdown. What is intolerable is that at this point there are no deposits with sufficient capacity to supply the demand of the eighth island normally,” he adds.
For the popular, it is evident "the neglect with which the government of the Cabildo has acted with this matter", since they point out that as a majority partner of the Consortium "it has been unable to lead the pertinent actions with Canal Gestión to put an end to these deficiencies, as well as those that are recurringly affecting other municipalities on the island."
