Neither Franquis, nor Hidalgo: the PSOE will opt for the 'Tirajana route'

Does anyone doubt that the growth crisis of the PSOE of Hidalgo in Las Palmas does not benefit Concepción Narváez?


Does anyone doubt that the growth crisis of the PSOE of Hidalgo in Las Palmas does not benefit Concepción Narváez? The real division that exists in the PSOE of Gran Canaria between Sebastián Franquis and the mayor of Las Palmas capital, the former communist lawyer Augusto Hidalgo, is the same story that it has always had until the PP. That the mayor of the capital of the Canary Islands goes to his head and chooses to liquidate his political father. The socialists of the south of Gran Canaria are not in favor of changes because they have done well with Franquis, but they stick to the official thesis: they support the regional leader and what he says.

At the moment, in the regional congress of the PSOE there is a tirajanero from Agaete as a speaker. José Antonio Godoy, now retired and who only thinks about the future and not about payrolls, is clear that with the help of Torres, the PSOE of the Canary Islands has taken away from the BOC the signing power of the Canary Coalition, that is, in the south of Gran The Canary Islands are better off than a man from Agaete supporting a man from Arucas if he joins the regional executive of the PSOE.

For her part, Concepción Narváez maintains her position as number two of the PSOE Gran Canaria. The PSC-PSOE has postponed its island congress given the exceptional situation that is being experienced in the region as a result of the volcanic eruption of La Palma. The decision, confirmed by the Federal Executive Commission, is supported by the organization's own regulations and affects the island groups of Gran Canaria, which already had their respective congressional calendars set and whose start was scheduled, precisely, for this same day.

The Secretary of Organization of the Socialist Regional Directorate, Jorge González, has told Maspalomas24H that this is a decision "coherent with the moment that La Palma and its citizens are experiencing." González recalled that "there are colleagues with institutional and organic responsibilities who are dedicated full time to addressing the emergency generated" on that island. He also wanted the situation to stabilize as soon as possible "for the good of the island itself." "Then, it will be time to sit down to finalize the resumption of these internal processes, as well as the establishment of a framework calendar for the rest of the island groups," he stated.
