The political chessboard of the south of Gran Canaria It is transformed under the influence of financial resources and tourism management. The strategic movement of Onalia Bueno, which is now negotiating its integration with the PartyThis is not merely a response to electoral tactics, but a weighty question: who will control the flow of investments and spending capacity in the island's most profitable municipalities during the next term of the Island Council for the period 2027-2031. MaspalomasAV has already renewed its alliance with the PP.
Meanwhile, other pieces of the complex southern puzzle watch cautiously. The situation of Ciuca in Telde, with its local alliances, adds uncertainty. New Canary IslandsFor its part, it has sought refuge in pacts with parties such as Let's Talk Now, a union that already had prior agreements with the PSOE since 2025. Prica, trapped in its attempts to integrate under the umbrella of Alejandro MarichalHe faces resistance from a grassroots organization that is uncomfortable with this new structure. The most logical option currently on the table is for Prica to run independently in the 2027 elections in southern Gran Canaria and then sit down to negotiate a governing alliance. Marichal doesn't want a party fractured by Prica, which lacks structure and can't provide basic documentation such as a list of paying members, representatives, poll watchers, a budget, or a formally constituted local assembly. CC is in no hurry; Prica is. The nationalists don't want to experiment with a fiasco.
Politics in the south of Gran Canaria It has ceased to be a game of static acronyms and has become a management of personal brands and tactical alliances. Money and the ability to manage public resources in tourist strongholds determine the strength of each leader. The movement of Onalia Bueno towards the Party This is not an isolated incident; it is the strategic response of a leader who understands that, in the fight for the City Council, a personal brand alone is insufficient without a larger structure to support it. Time will tell if this alliance manages to maintain enough electoral strength to alter the balance of power on the island, or if the natural wear and tear of years in local government will affect the prospects of a duo that, from the outset, appears to be the main protagonist of the next election cycle.
With the island's PIO suspended, the money in the south of Gran Canaria He wants sweeping changes in Las Palmas. The political landscape of southern Gran Canaria is undergoing a profound reconfiguration. Party, under the presidency of Carlos SánchezIt has consolidated its dominant position in the region. This hegemony is clearly reflected in the municipality of San Bartoloméwhere the conservative party maintains a strategic alliance with Neighborhood AssociationIn Mogán, the situation is different, marked by the personalistic leadership of Onalia Bueno. The stability of these structures is now challenged by the shifting of candidates towards the Cabildo's electoral list for 2027.
Onalia Bueno is at the center of this storm. The mayor of Mogán has confirmed the existence of formal talks with the People's Party to integrate his political brand into the conservatives' island project. This rapprochement represents a return to his roots, recalling that his beginnings in Mogán's public life were forged precisely under the banner of the People's Party in 2003. The subsequent path, marked by his time with Ciuca and the later creation of his own party, Together for MogánIt has been a constant exercise in political pragmatism.
The distancing with Canary Coalition It's now public knowledge. The mayor, who campaigned for the nationalist project in the last election, now admits that communication channels with that party remain closed. The recrimination is clear. The disagreement has been brewing as the nationalists' interests on the island clashed with the mayor's desire for autonomy. CC's attempt to integrate sectors from Nueva Canarias, such as the Prica, has generated insurmountable internal tensions. The discontent among the nationalist base has led to a split with United for Gran Canariaweakening the unity of action that sought to establish itself as an alternative in the south.
The strategy devised by Onalia Bueno's team transcends the boundaries of her municipality. The announcement to expand the brand «Good for Gran Canaria» towards strategic locations such as San Bartolomé, Santa Lucía, Firgas, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – City Life, History & Island Vibes y TeldeThis adds a disruptive variable to the electoral equation. The objective is clear: to capitalize on the high level of approval enjoyed by the leader, whose absolute majorities in Mogán—seventeen out of twenty-one councilors—act as a magnet for those seeking a reliable partner in the race for the Cabildo.
Carlos Sánchez has understood this scenario. The Popular Party leader has been lavish in his praise for his former colleague's electoral appeal. The proposed formula for this political alliance is the coalition model already tested in San Bartolomé de Tirajana. Under this arrangement, Onalia Bueno would retain her own electoral brand, minimizing the risk of diluting her personal political capital. This alliance, if it materializes as planned, would allow the Popular Party to present a list for the Island Council with a strong southern component, capable of attracting votes from sectors disillusioned with the fragmentation of the left and the disarray within the nationalist bloc.
