The party of Marco Aurelio Pérez PP-AV could organize the government group of the south of Gran Canaria starting in May 2023 according to the Ágora Integral survey between April 5 and 23 and published this Tuesday by Canarias Ahora, of ElDiario.es. He adds that the local PSOE and NC coalition with Cs "in the highest range, would get ten councilors, three from the majority", that is, the entire sum of AV-PP. "Canarias Now also points out that the survey indicates that CC would go from four to three councilors despite the fact that the list headed by Alejandro Marichal would achieve a similar number of voters (from 2.368 to 2.338)." 

The demographic study adds that Unidos por Gran Canaria would obtain a councilor. These data come after foreign interference by the German-born businessman Wolfgang Kiessling, who lives in Tenerife and owns, among others, Loro Parque and who wants to make the Siam Park project in El Veril free of charge against the criteria of businessmen from the south of the region. island to the point that this business group has announced that if the PP leaves it will not build Siam Park. According to the Las Palmas newspaper, the Ágora Integral survey predicts "a notable rise for the party led by Marco Aurelio Pérez, but without reaching the absolute majority that it obtained in 2011 and 2015." He also points out one fact: that the partners of the current government group would not join in to repeat it because NC "suffers the greatest decline." 

The candidacy led by Samuel Henríquez, according to Canarias Ahora, "would lose 750 voters (from 3.142 to 2.392) and two councilors (from five to three) compared to the 2019 results. The decrease would be more than four points (from 16,53, 12,31 to 2.500%)". The return of Marco Aurelio Pérez means that "in absolute terms, the increase would be close to 5.124 votes (from 7.586 and 11)" and "would allow the addition of between 12 and 2019 councilors" compared to the eight in 13. The absolute majority is obtained with XNUMX councilors. The PSOE could repeat with seven councilors.
