The PSOE has criticized and rejected the offer of the president of Repsol, Antonio Brufau, regarding the installation of a logistics base for oil exploration in Lanzarote or Fuerteventura. "It is inadmissible, insensitive and cruel that the oil company intends to force its installation in the Canary Islands in exchange for potential jobs, given the seriousness of the unemployment figures in the Islands," the socialists have denounced.
In this sense, the PSOE considers that Brufau made "an unprecedented exercise in cynicism, by playing with the drama of unemployment to achieve its objectives, despite knowing that the vast majority of Canarian society is against its platforms."
This is how the general secretary of the PSOE of Lanzarote, María Dolores Corujo, has spoken, who has underlined that Brufau's visit to Gran Canaria this Thursday coincided with the Prestige ruling, which ratifies "the impunity of the oil companies regarding the consequences of their accidents".
"It reaffirms us in the rejection of a polluting and dangerous industry, which puts our natural resources and our way of life at risk," the PSOE has pointed out.
