The mayor of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Conchi Narváez, faces November with one less problem

The frozen bread plant in El Tablero de JSP remains in operation and avoids the scrapping to which the famous manufacturer of Millac milk and Celgán yogurts is going to be subjected. With more than 40 years of history, in which it has become the main dairy industry on the islands and generates 500 direct jobs and more than 2.000 indirect jobs, JSP enters into labor liquidation of hundreds of jobs; but in the frozen bread factory in the south of Gran Canaria due to the pull it has in supermarket chains and the tourism sector. The workers asked for urgent and temporary aid to prevent their disappearance but the debt with the banks was imposed and this recognized strategic industry for the Canary Islands went into bankruptcy or bankruptcy.

The socialist deputy Manuel Abrante maintains that the regional government has contacted different investor options for the company and there is no Canarian proposal interested in it, so in his case he will put in place the necessary legal mechanisms to provide a lasting solution that guarantees viability over time.
Abrante reproached CC that in the previous crisis more than 10.000 companies in the Canary Islands fell without at any time "tearing their clothes" and questioned Rosa Dávila if anyone has asked JSP if she wants to be rescued, since she has been in a bad situation since many years ago without the nationalist governments doing anything.

For Sí Podemos Canarias Manuel Marrero accused CC of creating false expectations and demagogueing the workers of a company that for years has received REA funds and in which there has been poor management, and asked her not to appear as "the savior" because When she was Minister of the Treasury "she became inhibited." Luis Campos, from Nueva Canarias, said that the responsibility for the company's situation does not lie with this nor the previous government and warned that "this is not going to make any money," since financial aid is conditional on a realistic restructuring plan. , coherent and long-range.
