More than four months have passed since the heroic pact was formed in the capital's City Council. The Popular Party and the Canarian Coalition, erected as saviors of their particular homeland, said they came to solve all the problems of the capital, those that, according to them, the Socialist Party had created, although the management and the political project of each speak for themselves.
There is no better defense than a good attack, both formations must have thought to cover up all the shortcomings of our city. The rains of these days have served for Ástrid Pérez to fire her first bullet. A press release to criticize that the rains had flooded the Temporary Attention Center for Foreigners (CATE), without thinking that many points of the city were flooded because the sanitation problem has not been solved, something that the mayor of Arrecife promised before assuming the baton.
Of course, it is always better to sweep for home first, unless the CATE has more relevance in the lives of the citizens of Arrecife than the streets of the capital itself. Luckily, as Ástrid Pérez said, they have a "great team" in the consistory to solve it. Of course, no one should think of wanting to take a penalty and appear in the headlines, since, although they are a team, no one but the captain, the captain in this case, to launch it and appear in the cover photo.
Meanwhile, the streets are unpaved, traffic lights are broken, sidewalks are impassable... although then they fill their mouths to talk about a sustainable city. It must be in El Reducto, because in the neighborhoods it is someone else's business. And if someone else does it, it will not be very difficult to appropriate a project and sell it as their own. It is their daily bread with the Cabildo, which they ignore and ignore whenever they sell as their own a work that has been financed by it. And there are many works. In this, as when she monopolizes the penalties, Ástrid shows that she lacks institutional style.
Something very similar to what the Canarian Coalition did in its press conference to take stock of its first three months of government. Finally, it was a summary of the Socialist Group's management in the areas in which it was in charge because, as we expected, the conservative Canarian nationalists lack a project for our city. Imitating their partners requires practice. They don't even dare to imitate Ástrid. Yes, they have done absolutely nothing more than try to sell what already has an owner, and what they have done by trying to appropriate it and value it, is to qualify the PSOE's management in the City Council as brilliant. Photos in facilities announcing improvements that have already been made months ago. Perhaps having remained in the opposition for a few years has made them lose their reflexes.
And as it is Carnival, well, bread and circus for the people. Ástrid wants to be Ayuso and although they have things in common, such as enriching with payments to certain people, each with their own interests, this is not Madrid and, sooner or later, the Ginory case may give us some surprise. And this time papi Egea will not be there to put out fires.
