Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (EFE).- The Nueva Canarias candidate for the Presidency of the Government of the Canary Islands, Román Rodríguez, has assured that, if the next Executive does not have “a powerful presence” from his party, the archipelago “will annotate”.
“If we are above, we will help those below. If not, those who are there will harm them”, Rodríguez stated during an electoral act to present the NC candidacies for the next elections.
“We will condition the majorities, we will impose the policies and we will demand management guarantees, and that depends on a good result on May 28”, highlighted the NC leader.
He considers that “it is time to move forward or abandon, and there is no need to look back or go back to the past”.
Likewise, Rodríguez has announced that his formation will not agree “with the extreme right if they enter the institutions, they must be excluded, they cannot be laundered and we are not going to do it”,
The nationalist candidate hopes to achieve 20 mayors in the next elections, maintain the presidency of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, get representation on the regional list and in the Parliament of the Canary Islands for Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and possibly Tenerife, and have four deputies for Gran Canaria .
“You have to finish off the work done to be able to govern in town halls, councils and Parliament,” Rodríguez insisted.
“It has been a very difficult, very complicated four years”, with the pandemic, the forest fires, the volcano, inflation and the war, among other difficulties.
And before all this, “we have responded as a registered society, this is a town that knows how to face difficulties.”
“We are in the institutions to respond to the Canarian society and NC has been decisive in the most difficult moments,” according to Rodríguez.
The nationalist candidate advocates achieving more self-government, “so that decisions are made in the Canary Islands and defending our interests”, for a transformation of the health system and the professionalization of its management, the fight against poverty, creating quality employment, and preserving Canarian identity and culture, among other proposals.
The NC candidate for the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, has stated that in the last four years his party has defended an inclusive eco-island project, “a path to follow, that path cannot be undone”.
Morales has assured that it is based on proximity, participation and the structuring of the territory and on an economic model that does not exhaust it, in addition to fighting against climate change, in favor of equality and against social exclusion, among other aspects.
“Gran Canaria leads the social and economic development of the Canary Islands” and is an island of world reference in sustainability, he said.
The NC candidate for Mayor of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Pedro Quevedo, believes that his training “is and will be decisive in city councils, councils and Parliament.”
“The difference between us and other parties is that we are working with transformative policies, with projects designed for the social majority,” he stated.
Likewise, the candidate for the Mayor’s Office of Telde and the Canary Islands Parliament, Carmen Hernández, has indicated that “our facts endorse us in the Government of the Canary Islands, the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and in all the municipalities where NC governs”.
“We have reinforced education, promoted public health and social services, and all this with a pandemic and a volcano,” he said. EFE
