Lanzarote needs to get out of the tension

February 12 2019 (12:21 WET)

Good morning,

I do not share the form or substance expressed by my still partner Daniel Cabecera in the interview granted to Usoa Ibarra on January 22. I think Lanzarote needs to get out of that tension and confrontation in which some people seem to feel so comfortable, while most people watch the sad spectacle with increasing disaffection.

The priority of those of us who have decided to step forward to help from the institutions should be that, to help. And insulting the media or political rivals does not help anyone. We already know where those who deny dialogue as a fundamental political tool and prefer to raise the tone to stir up the masses want to take us. In troubled waters, fishermen's gain, and there are those who have made that revolver an art.

No. I do not share those forms or those funds. But I still share less that a trusted position of the Podemos political group is terminated by mere presidential whim. Many people are tired of Pedro San Ginés acting in the Cabildo like a king in his castle. And that is what he has done again this time. San Ginés must understand that it is not he who pays the advisors, but the citizens with their taxes. Political groups have the right to appoint a person of trust, and Pedro San Ginés is not, or should not be, anyone to veto or expel whoever he wants. His way of understanding and practicing the Government is retrograde and harmful to society as a whole and I cannot but express my deepest displeasure.

Rectify, Mr. San Ginés. The Cabildo is not yours.
