The local elections of May 28, 2023 already bring two good news to Maspalomas tourism in March. The regional councilor of the Gomero third is leaving politics and the Tourism Councilor of San Bartolomé de Tirajana already confirms her departure after the disinterest shown by parties in the area in welcoming her on the lists. It so happens that both are lawyers, although the councilor is also a music teacher.
The melody of tourism during the pandemic has been a disaster in the south of Gran Canaria. Castilla has never visited the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council on an official visit. From the municipality, he knows Expomeloneras and some other hotels. The new parties such as the ASG or Ciudadanos have generated a setback in terms of business and union dialogue. Since 2019, Castilla has confused talking to tourism with talking to employers' associations that have no place in the representative system, removing the FEHT's prominence to try to sneak an employers' association from Tenerife into the south of Gran Canaria. She leaves without clarifying as Minister of Industry what role the Asturian-Carioca cement company Ceisa should play in El Pajar.
Inés Rodríguez has been a member of Ciudadanos since 2016 and leaves with a leader who has gone to the PP in Las Palmas given that AV-PP has autonomy in the south of the island to compose its own philharmonic. The third deputy mayor entered as councilor for Citizen Security and Emergencies and took power in Tourism after the departure of CC from the government group.
In 2021, Rodríguez realized that tourism was something that had nothing to do with coordinating the presence of local police officers at the doors of schools and he stepped aside, pretending to have other personal priorities. Then the leader of HA, José Francisco Pérez, was the first to denounce Rodríguez's cascade of errors, which began with the absence of Maspalomas for the first time in history at the World Travel Market in London, "one more example of not knowing the importance for our municipality of events of this type, they are more in the struggles for power and seats than in governing" being "the laughing stock of the Canary Islands, that the excuse of the new councilor is that her decree was signed last Thursday is It is a real shame, a fair is planned in advance, what does that response mean? That this area, so important for our municipality, acts under the premise of improvisation?
