Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (EFE).- The United Yes We Can candidate for the Presidency of the Government of the Canary Islands, Noemí Santana, has asked this Sunday the PSOE and the rest of the forces that are competing in the regional elections to take advantage of the electoral debates to clarify What forces are they willing to agree with after 28M.
Accompanied by the founder of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, and by the candidates of the electoral coalition for the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, Antonio Pérez, and for the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council, Gemma Rodríguez, in her first campaign rally, Santana stressed that the only political force that guarantees a government of progress is yours.
The PSOE must clarify with which party it is willing to govern, since it has already advanced that if they “give them the numbers” they will repeat the progress pact of this legislature with Unidas Podemos, NC and ASG, but if they do not add up, it will not close to govern with CC and “people have to know that when they go to vote”, he highlighted.
“A vote for the PSOE can go to the CC and the people have to know that,” insisted the candidate, who has also said that she does not know what the NC will do, that in the last legislature while everyone in her party fought for a government of progress, “the spokesperson and candidate for the NC Presidency was sitting at a table with Fernando Clavijo (CC) and Asier Antona, from the PP.”
“We are very clear about it,” said Santana, who is only going to bet on a government of progress, not regression: “We want evolution and not the return of the other governments of regression.”
The Minister of Social Rights, Equality and Youth has affirmed that in this legislature “many things of which she feels very proud” have been achieved for the position she has held, and has referred to the income of citizenship and the achievement of “giving return to agency data and protect vulnerable people ten times more than other governments”.
Of the progress made, he also cited the halting of macro-projects such as Cuna del Alma, in Tenerife; the port of Agaete, in Gran Canaria; and Tindaya, in Fuerteventura. And now they are going to stop at Salto de Chira-Soria in Gran Canaria as well.
He has announced that in this campaign they will opt for mass correspondence rather than posters, and they will send ballots to more than 700,000 voters because “there is fear of voting” for United Yes We Can because unfortunately they have their consequences.
Santana has once again insisted that the leader of the Tenerife tourist association Ashotel, Jorge Marichal, is a “fraudster and an exploiter”, as he did at a previous meeting with the general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarre, and has reiterated that I don’t know how to retract it because he is convicted by two sentences of the Superior Court of Justice for defrauding Social Security and for discriminating against housekeepers.
In addition, he has said that the salaries of his companies are below the sectoral agreement and that “that is called being exploitative.”
“They are afraid of us because we tell the truth” and because of the progressive policies they propose, which are “aimed at taking away privileges from those who have lived beyond their means”, remarked the candidate, who has affirmed that they are also afraid of the ecotax that they propose and that will be inalienable in the agreement they reach.
He has indicated that ending concerts in health and education is another of the goals of Unidas Si Podemos, and that for this they will enforce the law in the autonomous community and end the contracts that have been in place since 1968 with companies private in healthcare
Likewise, they will work for a nearby public health system that does not attend to patients in the corridors of the emergency room and they will bet on public education and increase the number of places from zero to three years to 3,000, in addition to not supporting concerts with schools. private.
In terms of housing, he has reiterated that they will defend that the purchase be limited to non-residents on the islands.
The candidate to preside over the Canarian Government has boasted that her party’s electoral campaign is financed with microcredits and with contributions from the salaries of public officials, and not with money from businessmen.
“No businessman is going to celebrate the electoral results as happened with some progressive forces” in the past elections, assured Noemí Santana, who alluded to the slogan of her campaign “Brave Canary Islands” to speak clearly, something for which they need to “be strong and support for his candidacy.
