Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (EFE) their candidates to preside over the autonomous community after the 28th.
Instead, Ciudadanos has opted as the starting point of its race against the polls for Santa Cruz de Tenerife, one of its strongholds in the 2019 elections, on the island where the orange party has had its greatest share of institutional power in these years, both the Cabildo and the City Council of the capital.
As for the formats, there has been a variety: Torres has opted for some virtual billboards on indoor LED screens, Clavijo has surprised with a “grafitero” mural in the street, Rodríguez has deployed some rollers at his headquarters and both Domínguez and Santana and Bello have put up election posters in the street the old-fashioned way.
These have been the most outstanding phrases of the main candidates in minute 1 of the campaign.
Angel Victor Torres (PSOE)
Campaign slogan: Through the Canary Islands
Place: Regional headquarters, Avenida Juan XXIII, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,
“Now it’s time to mobilize. On May 28, the best thing that can be done to defend democracy and freedom is to go to the polling stations to vote, to express at the polls with our vote that the Canary Islands want”.
“In June 2019, the change took place in the Canary Islands, 26 years later the PSOE returned to the Presidency of the Canary Islands. And now it’s time to consolidate that change so that we have more employment, more social justice, more and better redistribution of wealth, more housing, more free public education, more and better healthcare”.
“More defense of the most disadvantaged sectors and families, with the most needs, more fiscal and progressive policies, so that those who have more help those who need more. That is the project that the Canary Islands need, we cannot go back”.
Fernando Clavijo (CC)
Campaign slogan: Canary Islands ahead
Place: Juan Manuel Durán street, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
“Canary Coalition is presented as the alternative to what is currently happening, it is the solution to neglect and, of course, for the resolution of real problems”
“It is essential to lower taxes. Canarian families are poorer than four years ago. It is essential that we give them tax relief with the drop in the IGIC from 7% to 5% or the drop in personal income tax for the regional section, which is essential”.
“Businessmen cannot find workers and it cannot be that there are almost 200,000 people unemployed. There is a need for training adapted to the productive system and, of course, to the need with the difficult years that we have to live”.
Manuel Domiguez (PP)
Campaign slogan: Canaries among all
Place: Main street of Triana, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
“Almost thirteen years ago we left the Government of the Canary Islands. It is time for the PP to return.
“I am extremely prepared to be the president of the Canary Islands. I have a great team on this island (Gran Canaria), which comes from municipalism”
“We have to start talking about the people who will carry out the projects of our program.”
Noemí Santana (United Yes We Can)
Campaign slogan: think it’s possible
Place: Paseo de San Antonio, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
“We came to this campaign with great desire and enthusiasm, where we are also more united and stronger than ever in this confluence with Izquierda Unida, with Podemos and Sí Se Puede, under the name of United Sí Podemos.”
“I think our government experience is our greatest guarantee, our greatest endorsement for citizens and for voters. The men and women of Unidas Sí Podemos are going to courageously defend transformative policies in the institutions, because where others give in to blackmail and threats, we are not going to do it”.
“It is important that we do not owe anything to anyone, simply to the citizens who vote for us. We do not owe a euro to the banks, we simply respond to those who have believed in us and in our project. That makes us very free to do politics for the people.”
Román Rodríguez (NC-Bloque Canarista)
Campaign slogan: with you we govern
Place: Regional headquarters, Rafael O’Shanahan square, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
“People do not want to go back to the past, people want to continue moving forward, continue building a progressive future for the social majority and that is what Nueva Canaria is presenting tonight, with a country program to live and grow better”.
“We have consolidated more than 7,000 million euros in public spending linked to public services, health, education and rights. And now it’s time to improve the organization and management. We must professionalize the management of public affairs. Fixing is not worth it, you have to look for people who know how to manage public resources so that the best possible return is extracted from each euro ”
“There are 15 days left to finish off the work of these years, which has been hard, difficult, but convictions, principles, the value of militancy take precedence over propaganda devices and media alliances. We are a party made by hand from the bottom up, of the town, of the neighborhood, of cities, of the island”.
Isabel Bello (Citizens)
Campaign slogan: Liberate
Place: Crossing of General Gutiérrez street with Imeldo Serís, Santa Cruz de Tenerife
“I expect a campaign with more proposals than promises and in which measures are proposed instead of occurrences, a campaign in which we address the citizens as adults and in which the parties are capable of putting on the long lights to face the great challenges that the Canary Islands have ahead”.
“We hope to be able to disseminate our program among the public so that they understand that our ideas are realistic and can be applied in the short, medium and long term. We will take advantage of this period to gain the trust of the electorate with ambitious measures such as the halving of parliamentarians, the abolition of customs or the promotion of housing”.
“We believe that the liberal center that Ciudadanos represents is necessary for politics to flee from extremes, we want to be decisive when it comes to forming a government, since we understand that if our presence can prevent the entry of extreme left or extreme right groups, we will be favoring the citizen and this is what we want to get to the voters during this campaign”.
