They have been practically missing for months and refusing to speak to the media that have been critical of corruption and the scandal that has shaken the party after the "Unión" case, but, when they reappear, the public officials of the PIL once again demonstrate what special stuff they are made of.
The famous intervention of councilor María José Docal after her arrest in Operation "Jable", in which she assured that the bribery she is accused of "is trivial", seems to have created a school in the ranks of the Independientes de Lanzarote. On this occasion, it has been another regular of surreal explanations who has taken over, with a phrase that is not known whether it is an authentic provocation, or the simple reflection that those of Dimas Martín are still convinced that the island is still that of the chickpeas, in which the votes that were quoted at the weight of onions and potatoes. If they continue to think that it doesn't matter what they say and what they do, because at the last minute their leader will reappear with four phrases to enchant the snakes, even if he has to do it from jail.
Otherwise, it is inexplicable that Emilia Perdomo would once again use such an unfortunate term to refer to the subsidy that the Arrecife City Council has renounced, and that should be used to help families who have to take their children to private nurseries, because they have no other option, and who do not have sufficient resources to do so.
After Coalición Canaria made public that the City Council had lost those 42,000 euros, Perdomo responded that it is "a triviality to focus on that subsidy" because, according to her, the money arrived when the year is almost over and they would only have had time to deliver it to the families for a month. Anyway.
Probably, the parents who are waiting for that help like water in May will not think the same. Nor will the citizens who are waiting for any type of subsidy. Because when one lets even just one cent of public money pass, one loses any type of legitimacy to complain later that they are not given such or such aid from higher institutions, such as the Government of the Canary Islands.
But of course, the party that turned the "Solidarity Kilo" into a kind of miracle of the loaves and fishes, but in reverse, leaving tons of food in an unknown location and playing with the good faith of the citizens who contributed their grain of sand to that campaign, it is difficult for them to consider as something really important the need that many people are going through on this island.
The PIL is like that. In fact, if Fabián Martín allowed himself the luxury of losing almost a million euros that the Government of the Canary Islands should have contributed to the cruise passenger promenade, and that finally did not arrive because the corresponding documentation was not delivered on time, a few thousand euros are child's play. And the worst thing is that it seems that the matter is contagious.
In fact, his government partner, whom they raised to the presidency of the Cabildo, Pedro San Ginés, seemed this week to want to follow in his footsteps, when talking about the money that has been paid in the last year to his "good friend", as he himself defines him, Ignacio Calatayud. And according to San Ginés, he has "only" charged 100,000 euros, and not the 300,000 that the PSOE says. Of course, he forgets to clarify that to that figure, we must add many other contracts pending payment, in which he has intervened directly despite his friendship with the interested party, and that do multiply by three what Calatayud has received so far. But of course, that is something trivial.
At this point, few have doubts about what the Partido de Independientes de Lanzarote and the current president of the Cabildo really consider important and, with half a year to go before the elections, all that remains is to pray that their scale of values does not continue to spread.
