Valverde (El Hierro) (EFE).- The socialist Alpidio Armas has recovered the presidency of the Cabildo de El Hierro after winning the motion of no confidence, with the seven votes of PSOE, Asamblea Herreña and IU-Reunir Canarias, against Javier Armas, his brother, from the Agrupación Herreña Independiente (AHI).
Javier Armas (AHI) won the presidency of the institution by leading the most voted list in the May 28 elections, but his four councilors and the two from the PP were not enough to consolidate the majority in the plenary session of the island corporation.
In the elections, the PSOE got three advisers, Asamblea Herreña three and IUC-Reunir Canarias one, and the three parties presented a motion of censure on June 26, after the inauguration of Javier Armas (AHI).
In a tense session, the proponents of the motion justified it on the inability of the AHI to reach agreements that would consolidate a sufficient majority to provide stability to this institution.
As an alternative, “a representativeness greater than that established by AHI and PP” has been formed, according to Alpidio Armas, during his turn to speak.
The outgoing president, Javier Armas, defended his 11 days in office and stated that this motion, presented the same day he took office, “discredits politics”, “destroys instead of building” and demonstrates “the lack of generosity and altitude of sights” of the censorship groups, which he accused of having a closed agreement “from the same election night.”
During the session, the nationalists reproached the IUC-Reunir Canarias counselor, Amado Carballo, for being the key to consolidating the motion of censure against their government, contravening the mandate of the polls.
“Seven people censor us, you have been censored by more than two thousand at the polls,” said Javier Armas, during his speech.
Javier Armas, who had words for all the signatories of the mission, alluded directly to the IUC-Reunir Canarias counselor, Amado Carballo, to express that “it is inconsistent that he is willing to whitewash the mismanagement of his future partners and with his complicity go to condemn the people of El Hierro to an ordeal for the next four years”.
To David Cabrera, director of the Herreña Assembly, I blurt out that “he does not represent the values of good people, and that he exercises politics not for the interest of others, but for his own.
For his brother, Alpidio Armas, executor of the motion of no confidence, the outgoing president said that “everyone knows what they do and why they do it and also knows what they can lose by doing it.”
For his part, Rubén Armiche (Popular Party), highlighted the ineffective management of the previous Government, “from which only the Popular Party came out well valued by the citizens at the polls, by raising two directors in this Institution, while the Socialist Party and Asamblea Herreña each lost a director.
Both the AHI and PP councilors left the plenary session after the motion of censure was successful.
After having prospered the motion of censure, the new government team at the head of the Cabildo de El Hierro, chaired by Alpidio Armas, will be made up of three PSOE advisers, including Alpidio Armas himself, Ana González and Jesús Pérez; three from Asamblea Herreña, David Cabrera, Emilio Víctor Hernández and Ana Cecilia González; and the counselor of IUC-Reunir Canarias, Amado Carballo.
The opposition is made up of the four AHI advisers, Javier Armas, Asunción Amaro, Alberto Armas and Juan Pedro Sánchez; and two from the Popular Party, Rubén Armiche Benítez and Juan Manuel García.
The new president, Alpidio Armas, recalled the high honor of holding the position, thanked in plenary session for the support of the political groups with which he entered the Government in a mandate “of coexistence, sustainable and progressive to advance on the path of progress ”.
David Cabrera (Herreña Assembly) in his speech highlighted the political and social significance of the government program agreement, with 46 measures that encompass different axes for the coming years, reached “with much dialogue and consensus” between the three political forces that The El Hierro Cabildo will govern from now on.
For his part, Amado Carballo (IUC-Reunir Canarias), pointed to the necessary stability in the first island institution and justified the support for this change of government to assume what was agreed by sympathizers and affiliates of the political formations that it represents “after a process of active and democratic listening”, which he assumes with responsibility and enthusiasm.
