The Popular Group in the Arrecife City Council considers "intolerable the lack of foresight that the government group has once again demonstrated in the face of the declaration of a yellow alert for rain issued by AEMET with forecasts of about 15 liters per square meter."
"Amounts that in a city like Arrecife with the existing problems means that the streets are flooded and that even many businesses and shops may be affected as has happened as soon as the rainfall began," criticize the popular, who affirm that the rain "has also left the traffic lights of the capital out of service and problems in electrical panels of public lighting."
"If it is already embarrassing that the maximum protection measures that the city council usually announces in the face of this type of alert is the distribution of sandbags, it is even more regrettable that, as in this case, this type of action has not even been foreseen since yesterday in the areas where more problems are usually registered," point out from the PP, from where they consider "regrettable that the residents of Arrecife have to be enduring this type of situation once and again without the socialist government being able to articulate even a single measure beyond the photos that the mayor can take with her raincoat on before returning to lock herself in her office."
The popular point out that "regardless of the problem of rainwater that the city has and that the next government should address as a priority, what is unacceptable is that the Socialist Party is not even capable of mobilizing the minimum operation to deal with these situations."
"In Arrecife, only three drops are enough for the city to become a chaos and what is not understood is what the councilors of that City Council with the mayor at the head have been doing since yesterday after the alert was decreed," they add from the PP, from where they point out that "the most problematic areas have once again been Cuatro Esquinas, Cienfuegos, Jacinto Borges and Portugal, among others."
