Carnival residents from the south of Gran Canaria as well as businessmen from leisure venues from the south of the island have congratulated through social networks the municipal decision to create a moratorium on the presence of float businesses from Las Palmas in the south of the island. island for Carnival. The business had become at the expense of the residents of the south of Gran Canaria who could not participate from their neighborhood associations because business owners of various kinds managed up to 5 floats free of taxes and tax controls. One of the large operators intended to handle 5 plates, three with one floor and two with two floors, like the one that moves an Airbus A380 through the streets of the south of Gran Canaria, managing a troop of 750 people.

The presence of people from Las Palmas most affected are officials and real estate managers who sold a coach package plus accommodation in Playa del Inglés in vacation homes. In Canarias7 a user who did not want to give her name has admitted that the package included transfer and accommodation. On the other hand, it should be noted that an NGO from Murcia with reckless dismissal has been awarded the computer service for the management control of the Maspalomas Carnival.

Tirajana has decided to place the number of floats at 100, already a significant number that generates problems of noise pollution and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Like everything that happens in Las Palmas, they have appeared in the capital's media without mentioning a name, regretting that at least 750 users of those old tomato truck plates cannot be used on the streets of Playa del Inglés. 

According to the figures that move in Las Palmas, the south of the island can save having to put up with 2.500 carnival goers who are unaware that it is an international tourism focused on tourists. In Las Palmas these people do not protest despite the decline of that festival that originated in Maspalomas and was copied in the capital of the island. There are 225.000 euros in the air in Las Palmas due to the entry fee and that with the IGIC that is already supposed to have been declared.
