“The Canarian Coalition is now roaming freely in the Arrecife City Council, blocking the city, intimidating and insulting left and right, while Astrid Pérez packs her bags after a failed legislature.” This is how the Socialist Party summarizes the situation that is being experienced in the capital's Consistory, after the entry of CC into the government pact led by the PP.
“Everyone knows that Astrid Pérez will flee the capital at the end of the legislature, and in the PSOE we are concerned because, given this power vacuum, the Coalition is imposing the model that has annihilated the Haría City Council, with constant insults and instabilities”, warns councilor Cristina Duque.
“The latest press headlines that we have seen these days describe a clear reality: Echedey Eugenio, the councilor for Health and Cemeteries, has become the leader of the Canarian Coalition group, attacking everything and everyone, while the mayor of the city prepares to leave at the end of the legislature to other quieter institutions, without even putting order in her own government”, she questions.
“Echedey Eugenio's attacks in public, both on the opposition and on his government partners - Nueva Canarias as well as the Popular Party - in addition to the responses of his, in theory, allies tired of his aggressive ways, are the symptom of the paralysis of the City Council of the capital since December onwards”, insists the councilor.
In her opinion, “The Canarian Coalition is taking its internal crisis to the institutions in which it has government responsibilities”, and also attributes what is happening in the Haría City Council to this.
“With the shadow of corruption covering the figure of its top leader, Pedro San Ginés, characters like Echedey are taking over the aggressiveness that has characterized this formation in the last decade and that has done so much damage to Lanzarote. If we add to this that the mayor of Arrecife is withdrawing from the city, aware of her personal failure, the cocktail of the last year is a City Council without direction, with some nationalists messing everything up”, concludes Duque.
