The People's Party of Yaiza regrets the "setback" experienced by the City Council in terms of transparency, as reflected in the 2025 Annual Report of the Canary Islands Transparency Commissioner.
The PP explains that the document shows that the evaluation corresponding to the first half of 2023 gave the City Council a score of 7.75, while the one corresponding to the second half of 2023 and the year 2024 reduces it to 4.85, placing the institution once again "below the required level".
For the People's Party, this data shows that transparency remains a "pending subject" for the governing group. "Public administrations have the obligation to comply with the principles of transparency, publicity, and good governance, not only because the law establishes it, but because citizens have the right to know how public matters are managed," the popular party laments.
The PP considers that this result contrasts with the discourse usually maintained by the governing group about its management: "transparency is not measured by statements or institutional propaganda, but by the degree of compliance with legal obligations and by the information that is actually made available to residents".
The popular party recalls that transparency constitutes one of the pillars of any modern and accessible administration, and therefore urges the City Council to correct the deficiencies pointed out by the Commissioner and to adopt the necessary measures to recover compliance levels in line with the responsibility required by public management.
"The residents of Yaiza deserve an open, accessible, and transparent City Council. That must be the commitment of any municipal government," concludes the People's Party.
