Yurena Corujo, candidate of Unidas Sí Podemos for Mayor of San Bartolomé, assured that she will "apply the new housing law that allows capping rental prices if the residents of the municipality give her the opportunity to govern in the City Council", the party reports.
The mayoral candidate revealed that "no other candidate dared to clarify, during an electoral debate held this Thursday, whether or not they intend to apply said law." In the candidate's opinion, this shows that "none of them have enough courage to apply it but they don't dare to admit it because they know that rental market intervention policies are already a social consensus and opposing them loses them votes."
The statements were made within the framework of a campaign event held yesterday afternoon at the Playa Honda Civic Center where she was accompanied by the Secretary of State for Equality, Ángela Rodríguez 'Pam', and the Deputy Minister for Equality and Diversity, Sylvia Jaén. Yurena Corujo regretted being "the only female candidate for mayor in a municipality that has always been a pioneer in defending women's rights."
In her opinion, this masculinization of municipal politics is reflected "in the measures that are being put on the table for the future of San Bartolomé", she adds. "They talk about old recipes, macro-projects and million-dollar infrastructures, but what people are demanding is more and better public services and living without fear of a rent increase that they cannot afford," she reports.
"San Bartolomé must stand up to the new road that the PSOE intends to build from the Government of the Canary Islands"
"San Bartolomé must stand up to the new road that the PSOE intends to build from the Government of the Canary Islands," she reports. She also had time to reinforce the position of Unidas Sí Podemos regarding the project "of a new six-lane road with which the Government of the Canary Islands intends to cross the lower area of El Jable."
"We are totally opposed to that absurdity that deepens the old model of destruction and asphalt and we are committed to more public transport and more mobility facilities," she makes clear.
Unlike other parties that, according to Yurena Corujo, oppose "for show", the defense of the territory for Unidas Sí Podemos is a central issue of their island project. "CC and PP are not against the road, what happens is that they want to build it themselves."
