Despite the intense activity of popular groups in the area in recent months, the top popular leader does not have any public events on the agenda in the municipalities of San Bartolomé or Santa Lucía.

 

Alberto Núñez Feijóo arrived this Friday on the island of La Palma, beginning his tour of the autonomous communities to show his support for the popular candidates running for the May elections and as a way to get closer to the citizens ahead of the general elections. , which will be held this year.

Despite not having any other events on the agenda during his visit to the island, it is not known if Feijóo will make any reference in his speech to the hectic activity that popular groups have had in the municipalities of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Santa Lucía since 2023 started.

 

It all started with the departure of a large part of the PP leadership in Santa Lucía, a scare led by the popular leader of the municipality, Sergio Vega. A situation caused by reluctance in the negotiation with the Neighborhood Association, thus following the path of popular formation in San Bartolomé de Tirajana. A division that Unidos por Gran Canaria would take advantage of; The formation led by Lucas Bravo from Laguna fished in troubled waters and incorporated the top municipal leader of the popular party and a large part of his leadership.
