It takes a thief to know one; this is what happens to the political class with La Graciosa, and even more so if we talk about the Canary Islands Government Council with its current president at the helm, the socialist Ángel Víctor Torres.
Trying to control my anger as a resident of this island is becoming more complicated than knowing who will be the mayor of Haría. The people of La Graciosa can't take it anymore. Mr. Valbuena, who in
four years still no one has explained to him where we are on the map, takes to one of the last government councils of this legislature the approval of the long-awaited Master Plan for Use and
Management of the Chinijo Archipelago. With darkness and treachery, in addition to the connivance of his super colleagues, the flowerpots have decided the future of a town.
Look, I'm not against the approval itself because there has been talk of the need to order the natural territory of this Archipelago since before I was born and unfortunately I'm already
I'm not a child. But things are not done like this. Conditioning the life of an island and the towns of Caleta de Famara and Soo requires at least a neighborhood meeting. The approval of
This document must be transferred to day-to-day life and translates into things as basic as knowing if a funeral home can be built, if we finally have space for a clean point, if the Pedro Barba dock becomes a refuge, if at some point we can have official protection housing, what will finally happen to our livestock or perhaps more important to you, what is the situation of your friend Zapatero and neighbors.
Citizens don't know anything. Even if the law is complied with, there is a period for allegations, it is also a moral responsibility of politics to ensure that such a technical document of more than 600 pages is subjected to at least a process of citizen participation.
They didn't even meet with the associations or ask the Teguise City Council to convene the La Graciosa Citizen Council, which already in the time of Councilor Domingo Cejas did
an extraordinary work preparing a document where all the agents involved said how they wanted their future to be. As they leave now, they will wash their hands. You have nothing left, Lady.
Despicable that it is played like this with generations and generations who broke their backs so that La Graciosa is today the paradise of the Canary Islands. How good that lunch in
Madrid after approving the Statute of Autonomy of the Canary Islands in the Senate and everyone happily applauding the inclusion of La Graciosa as the eighth island. Today no one remembers that small island that has no political representation and while they take the photo at FITUR they think that the world is solved. Here we live people with needs, with life, with children
and above all who are not to blame for living on a non-capital island.
The only objective of this article is that they respect us and that of course the politicians of the Canary Islands do not think that they can laugh at us.
