In 2014, the Catalan group Rodi Motor Services bought El Paso 2000 from José López Fabelo. The president of the group left López Fabelo as mediator of his interests on the island with the aim of continuing to grow, pretending to be a Canarian group, although abandoning the advertising scheme based on the coarseness and coarseness that characterized it when the management was insular.
Josep Esteve Oró, president and co-founder of the Rodi Motor Services Group, left island diplomacy in the hands of López Fabelo who, because of these things, ends up being mayor of Ingenio. And, now, a Catalan company, Naturgy, has the intermediary of Josep Esteve Oró between its eyebrows on behalf of businesses related to the renewable bubble that the southeast of Gran Canaria is experiencing.
Naturgy, previously called Gas Natural and always in the industrial environment of Caixabank, has challenged López Fabelo so that he does not participate in the decision-making regarding two photovoltaic parks, Telde III and Gran Canaria III, between the Carrizal highway to El Burrero and with boundaries in the airport area.
Naturgy attributes to El Paso 2000, owned by Rodi's partner, a series of allegations contrary to these investments, as reported by the PSOE. López Fabelo ceased as administrator of the public limited company El Paso 2000 but appointed his wife as his sole administrator. Being an administrator does not mean being an owner. And Rodi operates with El Paso 2000 Technology. The socialists have asked that the administrative procedure be paralyzed. López has defended himself: "In the past I have had companies with which at a certain time I presented allegations to a project. What I did not want for myself or my family, I cannot want for my municipality," he said this December to Canary Islands7.
As we are in the Christmas period, the mayor of Ingenio has indicated that "now come times of tranquility, of peace" and that "Ingenio has historical limitations due to the airport and the little space we have left we cannot convert into another mortgage for the rest of our lives, the health and landscape of our neighbors is at stake.
