The Chamber of Commerce of Gran Canaria and the Canarian Confederation of Entrepreneurs, of which entities such as Cecapyme, Femepa, Construction or FET are part, which feed financially from the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, have blessed the agreements of the Government of the Canary Islands to dismiss the mayor of Agüimes of the port of Las Palmas to be able to advance in the merger with the port of Tenerife. The control of the port of Las Palmas greatly affects the Tirajanas due to the goods that arrive for tourism and the licenses for windmills at sea, a business owned by gentlemen from outside the islands. No? For 20 years the ZEC has been in the hands of the presidents of Tenerife.
In the southeast of the island, companies in the hotel sector have lamented the lack of strength that the Arinaga employers' association has in the business environment in the south of the island and lists of shipping companies and consignees that are participating in this harassment of interests are beginning to circulate. from the economic capital of the Canary Islands, that is, the south of Gran Canaria. The one who replaces Óscar Hernández is a salesperson for a company called Boluda, which makes a living by bringing goods to the south of Gran Canaria for tourism. Boluda, together with his partner Astican, has a company in Arinaga that offers its clients two logistics areas in Arinaga for the storage of wind turbines, on an area of 20.000 square meters, and another 6.000 square meters reserved for bulk.
The port of Tenerife plans to absorb the presidency and administrative control centers from the port of Las Palmas located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. That is why they have removed Hernández to appoint someone from Tenerife in order to obtain the necessary majority on the council. An agreed amendment to generate a merger will be included in the 2024 State Budget and in 2022 the port of Las Palmas injected 7 million euros of its profits into Tenerife through State Ports. In exchange for silence, companies will continue to receive European aid. In this way, Tenerife will have control over Gran Canaria of the transport and logistics awards and services in addition to the Canary Islands Special Zone, which has been without a Gran Canaria president since October 1, 2004, even though its headquarters are in Las Palmas. For almost two decades the ZEC has been in the hands of Tenerife and the next step is that the port of Las Palmas, the sixth in Spain by business and which is triangulated from Arinaga to provide services to tourism in the south of Gran Canaria, will be supervised by Tenerife.
