The NC crisis paves the way for a pact between Onalia Bueno and Teodoro Sosa

Nueva Canarias has not taken any measures against the PSOE for breaking the agreement with the Canarians in Guía. To which instability may be added in Agaete and La Aldea de San Nicolás in case the PSOE in Agaete chooses to recover the Mayorship with the help of the PP. In Arucas, Firgas or Teror the agreements are between PSOE and PP; but there is more. Formally, NC has nothing to reproach the PSOE for and even less for generating an island government crisis because the party that loses power in Guía is part of the block that is insubordinate to the NC leadership and that leads the BNR of Gáldar. In Agaete the pact is BNR with PSOE and in Guía a local brand called JPG, like the photo files.

At this point, there is the party of the mayor of Mogán, which is a kind of UPN within Coalición Canaria. Between one thing and another and NC's desire for revenge to die killing, the BNR would be configuring an alliance between civilized people with Onalia Bueno's party and which would later be integrated into agreements with CC. This will depend on whether in November 2024 CC accepts the challenge of adding a couple of mayorships in Gran Canaria and, in NC's Machiavellian theory, other local mayors leave in view of the fact that power in the Cabildo of Gran Canaria would already be formed by lame ducks.


A lame duck is the name given to someone in an elected position who is approaching the date on which he must leave, especially someone for whom a successor has already been chosen. Last Friday, Antonio Morales (NC) accused the PSOE of generating "doubts, disloyalty and instability" in Gran Canaria. "It is true that NC is stunned. Overwhelmed by its internal crisis. Its leadership should have reacted more quickly and forcefully. It must act. But the fault is not there," said Morales, who added: "PSOE that breaks pacts, sows doubts, disloyalty and instability on the island."

The mayor of Guía, the one from JPG, loses the local command after having created a party coming out of CC. The outgoing first mayor would be one of those who would form an alliance with Onelia Ramos and until 2027 he should now be part of something that generates political visibility in the Cabildo of Gran Canaria so as not to be lost in ostracism. "We understand that this motion of censure responds to local political logic, such as those that have occurred in other municipalities in the Canary Islands such as San Mateo, where Alternativa por San Mateo-NC was displaced from the government; and Puerto de la Cruz."
