Starting this summer, the hotel employers of Las Palmas have to face a series of logical changes in the way they have to relate to the public sector to influence. In Las Palmas the FEHT is not part of the executive committee of the CCE nor is it part of the decision centers of product clubs where it has allowed other entities such as the Las Palmas Chamber of Commerce to enter. "Is it always everyone else's fault?" a regional leader of the PP asked this Monday. "We are not going to get into trouble with CC, they have been happy with PSOE, NC and ASG this last term." And saying in a meeting with the PSOE and launching it in a statement before starting the electoral campaign, on April 26, that the meeting was to "establish the foundations for a future" is not forgotten.
At the CCE of Las Palmas, Lopesan is a member of its board of directors as a partner who contributes money for that presence. When the CEOE of Las Palmas accepted that entry, the FEHT excluded itself and, since then, tourism is not present with the weight it should with its employers at the table where, for example, the future of the energy sector is decided, renewal of commercial zones or tariffs such as the AIEM.
In the period of mandate from 2019 to 2023, the hotel employers of Las Palmas have been distant in supporting the AV-PP theses and very critical of Alejandro Marichal's CC. The electoral campaign photo of the FEHT with the PSOE before the elections was frowned upon by PP, CC and NC given that there were meetings with all the parties but not so much fanfare.
Throughout the last electoral campaign, CC spoke out against the FEHT and the electoral result generated an increase in votes of 91%. AV-PP hopes that the employers will moderate their positions and allow the new government coalition to govern in the logic of an electoral result that questions tourist residences that are used as private apartments and the economic role of digital operators such as Airbnb or houses.
