As an example of this confrontation between the proven facts of his party and the obvious lies of the opposition, he put the road agreement first, and said that the previous president, Fernando Clavijo (CC), says that it was resolved in the previous legislature, to which Torres asked where the firm and the money were then.
That agreement was resolved with the PSOE in the governments of Spain and the Canary Islands, pointed out Ángel Víctor Torres, who as a second example that in 2021 the extension of the investment reserve of the Canary Islands (ric) was achieved, while in the “tremendous ” economic crisis of 2008 was not done.
Ángel Víctor Torres also referred to the direct aid decree through which the Canary Islands received 1,144 million euros that “served to save large and small companies” during the pandemic, as well as temporary employment regulation files (erte), while with the PP “fired the workers” in times of crisis.

In addition, he has stated that it is astonishing that the opposition says that there is more unemployment in the Canary Islands than four years ago, when official data says that there are 77,500 more people working, and in terms of social rights he has stressed that in the last legislature they recognized almost as many benefits as in the previous thirteen years.
Sebastián Franquis, general secretary of the PSOE of Gran Canaria and candidate for the Parliament of the Canary Islands, also took part in the electoral act, who stressed that the minister has been an essential piece for the Canary Islands to be better than four years ago.
Franquis asked why some people get upset when it is said that the islands have improved, and he has given health as an example, which has recognized that it has problems, but has insisted that progress is being made and has insisted that for him the Canary Islands are the best in the world because in Primary Care they saved his life when he suffered a heart attack.
