The better they treat her, the more she punishes them: the same old story. She even held the position of National Executive Secretary for Municipal Policy within CC, a position of trust under Fernando Clavijo, meaning she was responsible for integrating Primero Canarias into its structure. The stability of the good neighborliness and cooperation pact in southern Gran Canaria has been shattered in the port area, and in Las Palmas, they've said enough is enough; they're not going to sacrifice a regional agenda for 4000 votes.
The Mogán Town Council, governed by the Juntos por Mogán party (with fewer than 50 members), which holds an absolute majority, has opted to negotiate joining the CC party and is reportedly in talks with the PP. The council has filed a lawsuit against the public entity Puertos Canarios with the Administrative Court of the Las Palmas Court of First Instance. The lawsuit stems from the regional body's refusal to recognize the council's historical rights to operate the Mogán Marina, a key tourist destination whose original concession expires in 2031.
This legal action marks a break in the political peace between the mayor of the municipality, Onalia Bueno, and the regional leadership of the Canary Coalition (CC). The internal tensions point directly to the Minister of Public Works for the Canary Islands Government and CC leader on the island, Pablo Rodríguez, who is hierarchically responsible for the management of Puertos Canarios (Canary Islands Ports Authority). The authority's refusal to grant the town council access to the extension file has led the mayor to characterize the situation as an explicit attempt to "expel" the local administration from its legitimate powers, triggering a legal offensive that strains the institutional balance of the archipelago.
The jurisdictional dispute stems from conflicting legal interpretations regarding the permits granted during the construction phase of the facilities in the 1980s. The Mogán City Council maintains that it retains its status as the original holder of the concession since the Council of Ministers signed the order on February 27, 1981, for a period of half a century. Based on this argument, the municipal legal services emphasize that the transfer of operations in 1987 to the private entity Puerto de Mogán SA constituted only a transfer of management, with the local council reserving the exclusive right to process any extension of the term.
The proposal to be submitted for plenary approval reveals that the private company has also submitted its own extension request to the regional government. Upon discovering that Puertos Canarios is processing this request behind the back of the municipal administration and blocking access to the documents, Juntos por Mogán has opted to protect its position through legal action. The municipal agreement will formally demand that Puerto de Mogán SA immediately withdraw its extension request, seeking to restore direct management of the port area to the public sector.
In order to meet the criteria established by coastal legislation to access an extraordinary 25-year extension, the town council has submitted a substantial financial report. The updated value of the initial infrastructure investment is estimated at €45,8 million, setting the legal minimum reinvestment required to request the extension at €9,1 million. The Juntos por Mogán coalition is increasing the regional government's commitment by pledging a budget allocation of €13,3 million, broken down into a package of 18 urgent technical projects.
The mayor has formally requested the assistance and mediation of the Canary Islands Government (CC) to resolve a situation that threatens to paralyze development plans for the municipality's main economic engine. The action taken by the city council shifts control of the Port of Mogán from the political offices in Las Palmas to the courtrooms of the High Court of Justice.
