Santa Cruz de Tenerife (EFE) there will not be “not one step back”.
Clavijo, in response to the acting president and leader of the Socialist group, Ángel Víctor Torres, has guaranteed the same defense and conviction in equality, in acquired rights, in gender laws and in the rights of people with diversity.
He has also indicated that with the tax cut announced in his inauguration speech he will not endanger public services but on the contrary, he will strengthen them as, as he has said, he already did during his previous administration as head of the Government in the legislature from 2015 to 2019.
“They have given us less than 30 days and I ask you to have some faith,” said the candidate for president, who has reproached the PSOE for criticizing the increase in two ministries of the Government when the Government of Spain has had 23 ministries.
The objective of his government is to put the citizen at the center of management, added Clavijo, who has reproached the PSOE for having confused the stability of his government with the effectiveness of his management.
Regarding La Palma, Clavijo has considered that the PSOE has believed his lies because neither the Government of the Canary Islands nor the Central Government “have been up to the task” to face the situation after the volcanic eruption.
He has asked Torres to “go hand in hand” to ask the central government for the funds that are pending for the reconstruction of the island.
In terms of employment, the CC candidate has stated that in the 2015-2019 legislature 45,000 new jobs were created compared to the 28,000 created in the last four years, he has questioned the management of the previous Government in terms of dependency and social welfare and As an example, he has given that the party that managed that department, Podemos, is no longer in the Chamber.
Regarding immigration, he has criticized the statements by President Pedro Sánchez in reference to the closure of the Mediterranean route, while a canoe with 200 people remains missing on the Canary Islands route and more than 700 have died.
Clavijo has indicated that he has noticed in Torres a certain “bad loss” and has stressed that if tomorrow he is sworn in as president, he will do so with the support of 38 deputies, more than those of the previous Government of the Canary Islands.
In response to Luis Campos, from Nueva Canarias, the CC candidate has said that “he has seen them very comfortable” governing with the PSOE despite the change in position regarding the Sahara and has stated that it is Nueva Canarias who has ceased to be a nationalist who went with the PSOE to the general elections.
Clavijo has insisted that taxes can be lowered and more collected and said that it is progressive to lower the Igic for all the same, to make adjustments to personal income tax or to eliminate the Inheritance Tax while it is not progressive to spend 900 million euros more on health “and not getting results.”
He has continued that poverty in the Canary Islands has grown by 12 points, which is why he understands that saying that the current Government leaves a better Canary Islands “is an insult to intelligence” because, in his opinion, the islands are worse off while he has pointed out that the previous government rejected the support of the opposition.
He has indicated that they are not going to repeal the Climate Change law but to improve it.
He told Nicasio Galván, from Vox, that CC cannot be “further from the principles” of this formation if it does not recognize violence against women, wants to suppress the REF or that the powers in health or education are returned.
He understands that these “red lines” that have marked Vox and Podemos is not disrespectful to the voters of these formations, but it is not what the Canary Islands need and although he has been in favor of “sitting down to talk” he has warned “not to get confused because their recipes are not going to get ahead”.
