The secretary of the Local Committee of Yaiza of the Party of Independents of Lanzarote, Josefa Martín Noda, has presented her "irrevocable" resignation and has resigned from the party as a member, according to a statement, which has been sent to the president of the PIL, Fabián Martín.
This resignation occurs, according to Josefa Martín, because she "no longer shares the decisions" of the party and neither "the course that the organization has taken in recent times".
The departure of Josefa Martín Noda occurred a month after the vice president and spokesperson of the PIL, Manuel Cabrera, resigned. "I did not get into politics to work for a person or for a family," Cabrera said then on Radio Lanzarote, explaining the reasons for his resignation.
Also in January of this year, the former president of the PIL, Antonio Barambio, as well as the councilor in Arrecife Amor Castañeyra, resigned. Barambio resigned because he felt rejection "towards certain behaviors and decisions of the dome". Two weeks later, he joined the CCN.
For her part, Amor Castañeyra was dismissed by the mayor of Arrecife, Cándido Reguera, after voting against the budgets that had been presented by her own government group, composed then of PP-PIL and PNL. Subsequently, she presented her resignation as a member of the PIL but did not abandon her position as councilor.
It was not until March when Castañeyra finally decided to also resign from her position as councilor in the Arrecife City Council.
