The PSOE takes stock of the three years of CC government in Teguise: "Without leadership and with a mayor in farewell mode”

“A government more concerned with knowing who will head the Canary Coalition list than with managing the problems of the municipality,” says Bergaz

The PSOE of Teguise has taken stock as of June 15, three years since the start of the mandate of the government still presided over by the nationalist Oswaldo Betancort.

"Waste paper". This is how blunt the socialist leader, Marcos Bergaz, has been regarding the "massive breach of the electoral promises of the Canary Coalition". “While the still mayor is concerned with his particular political ambitions, the longed-for municipal swimming pool, the pavilion in Costa Teguise, the improvement of sidewalks, the renovation of parks and gardens, the updating of planning, street cleaning, the visor on the La Villa football field or green taxation remain in the trunk of the memories of a government, without ideas or drive to regain leadership of the municipality," Bergaz said.

"Teguise suffers from a mayor who is more aware of his political aspirations than of the municipality," said the PSOE spokesperson, to highlight the negative consequences of “three years lost while other municipalities overtake Teguise to the left and right in advances in services and infrastructure".

In this sense, the Socialist Team of Teguise perceives that Oswaldo's “plucking of petals” has led the government group to "go from presuming to work side by side to elbow to elbow to see who heads the nationalist list for the elections of May 2023".

 

PSOE, “the alternative to an exhausted government”

“The socialist group during these years has represented the alternative to an exhausted government," says Bergaz. "We have exercised an opposition as firm in the complaint as a collaborator when the situation required it", he adds. 

“It is necessary to remember the millionaire sentences that the government has had to face due to the Tahíche and Inalsa cases, the judicial warnings due to the mayor's passivity in knocking down the skeletons of Costa Teguise, the lack of investments in the towns, whose citizens complain that the current government only passes once a year to collect the 'contribution', or the palpable reluctance to get down to work laying the foundations for the modernization of Costa Teguise", adds Bergaz.

The Teguise socialists assure that they have begun to tour the municipality "taking note of the needs and strategic investments, which will constitute the roadmap that recovers the leadership that Teguise should have given its enormous potential".

“The only alternative to this government, stuck in its power struggles, is the Teguise Socialist Team, which has kept its word by publicizing the inaction of the current government while showing a high level of collaboration with positive proposals," emphasizes Bergaz.

"We have presented almost a hundred proposals, the result of the collaboration of citizens and groups, which have been systematically and clumsily boycotted by Oswaldo Betancort", recalled Bergaz, while launching an appeal to the citizens of Teguise and La Graciosa: "They need a mayor with all 5 senses focused on the Municipality, who is dedicated to what our fellow citizens deserve and who does not massively breach their electoral program when there is less than a year left for the next elections," he says. 

Finally, the socialist group is “hopeful" of being able to regain the leadership that Teguise should never have lost. "We will continue working to earn the trust of the majority of citizens of Teguise and La Graciosa, to whom we say that we represent and will represent them without distinction, because in this municipality we must all be important”, he concludes.
