The 'Deep state' of Las Palmas makes our south the Acapulco of the EU

The Francoist Gran Canaria heirs who bought apartments and spaces in shopping centers in the south of Gran Canaria, some gentlemen from Las Palmas mostly, people who have become less and less over time but have been succeeding themselves in key positions in the Administration, They have killed the south of Gran Canaria until it became the Acapulco of the EU. That is why there is no rule that changes and when someone with a certain power in the south of Gran Canaria tries to do so, contentious administrative appeals and counter-recourses appear. Where has Siam Park in Loro Parque been blocked? in the corridors of the Gando airport, peninsular courts without roots and Multiple Uses of Las Palmas. The few family companies in the south that are in business continue selling at bargain prices to tour operators and waiting for a foreign offer to arrive before dividing the inheritance.

The vice president with the PSOE Román Rodríguez maintains that "in the face of the apocalyptics who pointed out that the moratorium and the guidelines represented a violation of individual rights and multimillion-dollar compensation that would damage the Canary Islands public coffers, we have demonstrated that we acted in accordance with the law; and all The rulings of the Supreme Court have endorsed the decisions adopted in defense of the general interest and a sustainable development model for the Canary Islands, generating abundant jurisprudence on the matter." He said this before it was known that as a Minister of the Treasury in 2022, due to the 2009 decisions of the CC and PSOE, he would have to pay 650 million euros claimed by those affected. 

Since those who have properties are gentlemen who want to remain stuck in the 80s to share a monthly income, the people of Tirajana, who have always had surnames associated with entrepreneurs, have no way of mobilizing any investment and getting out of the jam, it is That is, stop being a failed destiny. They oppose spills to modernize, they have residents in their complexes and now with the networks they market their products instead of dealing with the community of owners: they sell their apartments directly on Booking or Airbnb so that with a code they open doors and no explanations are given to nobody. Before, the owners depended on the tour operators; but that is history: in 1996 in the EU there were 28 large tour operators and now there are 4 (TUI, FTI, Jet2 and Others).

In this way, the heirs of the Falange's safe conduct have blocked absolutely everything. A produced selfishness that has its origin in the pool of technicians of the Franco regime killing the goose that lays the golden eggs of the southerners of Gran Canaria. Alternatives? RIU or Labranda are already in Morocco, Senegal and Cape Verde and local chains such as MUR Hotels, Lopesan or Satocan continue to grow in Fuerteventura, which is another bureaucratic madness but the tourism business has more capacity for growth. Lopesan has gone as far away from Gran Canaria's 'Deep state' as he could: the Caribbean and Thailand.

Imagine the reader who has land in Morocco and wants to build a four-star hotel, with 600 rooms with a golf course and a sports marina: do you know how long it takes to grant a license to go to the bank and prepare the investment? 24 hours and through a telematic procedure that prevents bad people from getting in the way and seeking to be bribed in exchange for not blocking. The document issued by the Moroccan government has legal validity for financial purposes and for legal purposes it is unstoppable. In Maspalomas nothing has been built with any foundation since 2009, which was the Baobab Resort.
