Santa Cruz de Tenerife (EFE).- The Agrupación Herreña Independiente (AHI), which separated from the Canary Islands Coalition at the beginning of the year, signed a mutual support pact with that party on Wednesday before the local, island and regional elections of 28 May, similar to the one he signed a week ago with Nueva Canarias to “join forces” in the elections.
In this way, the historic El Hierro party, which within its insular political space competes in these elections with Asamblea Herreña (AH), a party born from an internal split, guarantees that neither the NC nor the CC present lists on the island or to town halls. Cabildo or Parliament of the Canary Islands.
As reported by Coalición Canaria, in the agreement with AHI they have agreed to “mutual support for the candidacies presented by AHI in El Hierro to the Town Halls, the Cabildo and the Parliament of the Canary Islands and the regional candidacy headed by Fernando Clavijo”.
“Canary Coalition supports the Independent Association of Herreña to try to recover the hegemonic role that it has exercised among the people of Herreña since its creation,” said this party in a statement.
After the breakdown of the integration agreement between CC and AHI, both political forces agree to open “new ways of understanding and collaboration.”
For the next elections, this pact is specified in that “Canary Coalition will not present candidacies” in El Hierro, nor to town halls, nor to the Cabildo or to the Parliament of the Canary Islands, and that it will not sign electoral agreements with any political force on the island.
The AHI will run only with its initials as an independent party, with the exception of the candidacy that Unión Frontera supports for this City Council, which will be as AHI-UF.
At the regional level, AHI “will support the candidacy presented by the Canary Islands Coalition” and is committed to “reaching agreements to form a government in the Canary Islands for the good of the Canary Islands and El Hierro,” says CC.
This agreement with CC comes a week after AHI and Nueva Canarias, a rival in the nationalist space of the Canarian Coalition, also agreed to “join forces.”
In this way, Nueva Canarias-Bloque Canarista agreed with AHI not to present itself with its initials in El Hierro, to support this party and to propose people to integrate the lists.
Regarding the regional sphere, AHI and NC committed to the coordination of their respective parliamentary representations “within the framework of the autonomy of each force.” EFE
