The foreign resident in the Canary Islands, owner of Winter Pride in Playa del Inglés, which is run with EU funds, Emiel Wijnberg, persists in his strategy of opacity after the news revealed by Maspalomas24H about the Treasury's concern about the business figures of the event, which ends on November 12 and which the organization, within the orbit of the Isla Mundial limited company and another non-profit entity to reduce, has assured that it generates "between 50 and 70 million euros." In statements to Canarias 7, Winter Pride has lowered the public presence figures because the math did not work out: from 50.000 users it has dropped to 34.000 which, given that a week, 5.600 people come out a day, which could be the same, for example. In this way, Winter Pride prevents the leading digital newspaper in southern Gran Canaria from discussing the event that is financed with public funds and, especially, from Brussels and where airlines such as the Turkish Corendon Airlines collaborate.
Winter Pride has vetoed Maspalomas24H due to the newspaper's interest in knowing the circuit of public money used in this tourist product given that the organization assures that it moves "between 50 and 70 million euros." Maspalomas24H has revealed that the Treasury is taking measures to control cash and, above all, to correct any possible errors between what is declared in the annual accounts and the financial activity.. This is the news that generated the veto. The information blockade includes not only the non-invitation of meetings with the press but also graphic coverage and no official notes. And Maspalomas24H has a good part of its audience in the United Kingdom and Germany, markets where Winter Pride has an impact. That is to say: it not only prevents Canarian readers from giving honest information but also readers from outside Spain.
Therefore, Winter Pride does not want Maspalomas24H to have the opportunity to ask questions on behalf of public opinion and has been excluded from the informative briefing given by senior Winter Pride officials on the management of European funds that come from the Tourism Department of the Government of the Canary Islands. Media such as Cadena Cope, Cadena Ser, El País, Onda Cero, El Mundo, Libertad Digital, or Efe, TVE Canarias or RNE have also not been invited to report on the capital that Foreign investors are moving on the LGTBI tourism business in the south of Gran Canaria.The newspaper has sent a letter requesting support to the FAPE in Madrid and warned the European Commission Office in Madrid of these events and is at the disposal of the Economic Crimes Prosecutor's Office of San Bartolomé de Tirajana if necessary given that there is money public throughout the operation and would be managed like the Siege of Haarlem.
Winter Pride has invited other news media. Whose representatives have had the opportunity to listen and ask questions although they have not done so except to talk about the promotional impact. There has also been no possibility of participating remotely, as was done at some times during the pandemic. Among the sponsors, in addition to local and island public entities and the Government of the Canary Islands with funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) granted by the public company Promotur, Winter Pride has Six Pack Zone, Pride Properties Maspalomas, The Mint Company, Code 22, Viveros El Rosal, The Bistro, Kopaz, MIJT Amsterdam, Hiperdino, Cerveza Tropical, Coca Cola, Gordons, Villas Blancas, Axel Beach, Bazar Ani, Casa Sabai, Podium Scandinavia, Ritual Maspalomas, Kiki, GayGranCanarias.com, Seven Hotels Wellness, Archiauto, Anders Indonesian Restaurant, Buddies by Joseph and Andrés, Ricky's Cabaret Bar, Secret Garden Chill Out, Divinity Gashion, Cheyennes Disco Pub Karaoke, Dress Code, Party Maspalomas, Eiffel Music, Macho Macho and Copacabana. The banned media have not had the opportunity to listen to Winter Pride's arguments and information regarding an issue that, as the organization itself repeatedly highlights, is of undoubted public interest.
