The Tirajana Sports Councilor, Ramón Suárez, had no other choice but to be seen at the finish line. It is the burial of the Gran Canaria Maspalomas Marathon that they sent to the south of Gran Canaria from Las Palmas with their backs to the local population and tourism. No one from the local corporation was present at the institutional presentation in an attempt to avoid being held accountable for such a promotional corpse. An example: social networks without languages beyond Spanish and it was supposed to promote tourism.
The bad chemistry comes from when the current mayor, Marco Aurelio Pérez, denounced in 2022 that the socialist advisor Francisco Castellano awarded the company DG Eventos an exclusive subsidy that would violate the contract law "for reasons of exclusivity." Pérez denounced in 2022 that the Minister of Sports, Francisco Castellano (PSOE), granted a direct subsidy of 150.000 euros to a private entity, based solely on reasons of exclusivity, when it was the first time that this event was organized," the popular ones point out. .
Furthermore, the PP criticized the granting of public money to a private promoter when the report presented by the Insular Sports Institute to justify said subsidy includes the City Council of San Bartolomé de Tirajana as the sole organizer of the event.
This was recognized by the previous insular Sports Councilor when asked by the PP in an ordinary plenary session of the Gran Canaria Council held on November 26, 2022, where he refused to provide data on the return on investment and the participation registered in the Gran Canaria Maspalomas Marathon claiming that “this test is organized by the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council.”
