Allow me, readers, to make this humble but forceful correction to the words of the president of the Cabildo. With no other intention than to make her reconsider the responsibility we owe to our citizens, those of us who have had the honor of being elected by them to represent them.
Surely, if she had dedicated these four years to working and solving people's problems, she would not have the need to have this type of empty, contentless, justificationless, and meaningless occurrences written for her.
And it is that NO, Loly, Lanzarote and Arrecife are not saturated, they are A-BAN-DO-NA-DAS, abandoned of public policies from the State, the Canary Islands or the Cabildo and orphaned since, those who hold the representation of those of us who live here, have not demanded where it corresponds what rightfully belongs to us and what, as citizens, we are entitled to.
Smoke screens and bombastic terms like the ones they put in her speech today do not solve people's problems, Loly. Talking about saturation does not cover up her disastrous management at the head of the first institution, nor the sectarianism with which they have run that Cabildo since mid-2019.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH of taking empty flags that do not belong to them and against which they have systematically attacked every time they have had government responsibilities. They sank INALSA and the CATC, emptied the public coffers with an unprecedented squandering policy and abandoned the municipalities to their fate when they had the responsibility to protect them and, without ceasing to be amazed, they have not only done it again but I believe, and we will realize in a few months, they have worsened their worst version at the head of the first island institution.
Loly, I wonder, where was the lectern with the red logo for the bombastic announcements when it was time to reject the installation of the camp of shame in my city and ask the State to assume its responsibility without diminishing the security resources of our capital.
Where was the bombastic speech sprinkled with smiles when once again my city was flooded in the last rains because the Pluviales Plan that we left drafted in the Water Consortium has not been executed?
Where was the socialist red lipstick on her mouth when it was time to announce the opening of the Argana Alta Health Center or the handing over of the keys to the four hundred families that they announced four years ago?
Where was her immaculate white jacket when, together with her non-political advisor Leopoldo Díaz, she decided to keep the Supplementary Plan of Arrecife in a drawer?
What were her team of advisors and drafters of empty speeches doing when Arrecife demanded more public investment and it was reduced like never before in history by the Island Council?
Where were her salon applauders when she decided to obstruct the expansion of the cemetery in my city?
Where have you and your ideas been, María Dolores, during these four years in which the PSOE in the Cabildo, the Government of the Canary Islands and the State, decided to abandon my city to its fate?
And so it is, Loly-Carlos, Carlos-Loly, that you as leaders have abandoned Arrecife and the people of Arrecife with your policies during these four years. And now they come to talk to us about saturation.
We citizens are saturated with you and your desire to talk a lot to do nothing, with your policies that nothing changes so that everything remains the same for the usual people, and with the "you too" in which you have turned the island policy.
On May 28 I hope to have the support of my neighbors to start the transformation and change that Arrecife needs and deserves and, as mayor, to get it out of the abandonment - not saturation - that we suffer after your arrival at the island council.
Read it well, Loly-Carlos, Carlos-Loly, ARRECIFE IS NOT SATURATED, IT IS A-BAN-DO-NA-DA by those who sold it in exchange for submission to Torres and Sánchez without caring about the future or the welfare of its people.
And now they want to justify themselves with a speech with a very good staging, but as empty of reality and content as their management at the head of the Cabildo of Lanzarote.
*Echedey Eugenio Felipe is a candidate of Coalición Canaria for mayor of Arrecife.
