The extinct NC opts for silence regarding the El Pajar cement plant

Idaira Sanchez Monday, August 08 of 2022

The party that until now has controlled the Department of Urban Planning in Tirajana has decided to remain silent about the crisis opened by the PSOE of Las Palmas regarding the El Pajar cement factory. "The party currently has a serious legal problem, we feel sorry for the residents of El Pajar, and we do not know if in 2023 we will have a speech on this matter, it is better to wait for Carmelo Ramírez to come down and say something," said this weekend a source from NC. The four NC deputies in the Canary Islands Parliament would theoretically support the PSOE's speech but they already maintain conflicting positions with their partners on various matters such as transport and financing of the islands via REF.

Thus, the defunct Nueva Canarias, which receives public funds for being part of a coalition called Frente Amplio, has chosen to leave the matter in the hands of the socialists and establish a sanitary cordon on the matter: the position is to have no position. The PSOE of Las Palmas carried out a diversionary maneuver on the operations of the Masaveu family in the south of Gran Canaria against the local positions of the PSOE of Concepción Narváez. The nationalist partners of the PSOE have not come to the rescue of the party when it controls the planning of the territory in the south of Gran Canaria.

The Citizens councilor does not appear in the local government coalition either, who is outside the process as she is the head of Tourism and Finance, and one of the CC who is in the expulsion phase. Clear positions on the El Pajar cement company Canarian Coalition and United for Gran Canaria. The PP of Las Palmas says one thing but its local brand is committed to maintaining its location in this space.

 

This August, Councilor Franquis assessed that the socioeconomic evaluation that has been carried out in recent months on the future of this port, identifying the social costs and benefits of all possible options, "indicates that the option with the greatest social benefit is mixed use." ", said. However, and although in a first phase both uses can be combined, "the objective pursued is to reach an agreement with all parties so that in a reasonable period of time both the port concession for industrial use and the factory itself can be transferred of cement to the place indicated for it (the Port of Arinaga), thus fulfilling the vocation of sustainable leisure and tourism use foreseen in the island planning of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria," said the PSOE from the Government of the Canary Islands.
