Up to 40 shareholders of Salcai Utinsa have joined the PSOE of Gran Canaria to put pressure on Roque Aguayro and BNR of Gáldar against the entry of Alsa into the passenger transport business in the south of the island, which are the most profitable routes of the former company run by Sebastián Franquis has said that he will ask that Salcai Utinsa employees become civil servants. The armed wing of CC in everything is the General Directorate of Transport that can intervene de facto and because the concessions are delegations of autonomous competences.
The new discrepancy between PSOE and NC in the Cabildo of Gran Canaria after the censure of San Mateo or Guía strengthens the PSOE because it knows the Jacobin division that exists in Nueva Canarias (NC). As the island president, Antonio Morales, would opt for re-election in 2027, the nationalist majority does not dare to break the agreement with the socialists. Teodoro Sosa has said the following about his government partners: "forcing 39 workers to join a party to approve a text that has neither political nor administrative value is an indecent practice."
The mathematics of the PSOE and the PP is that it is Salcai, a company that provides services of general interest with 1.000 employees, which are a thousand families, and with a regulated tariff framework loaded with European aid. Given the age of the drivers and the political tool they have with travellers on a daily basis, the 8.000 votes needed to obtain an absolute majority in the Cabildo of Gran Canaria in 2027 can easily come from this pool, the year in which they have to award new user lines such as 30, 91 or 55, all of them the most profitable for Salcai together with those from the Airport to the south and Las Palmas.
The PSOE has said that making the 1.000 Salcai Utinsa employees employees of the Single Transport Authority is a proposal that it will discuss "with Nueva Canarias", as revealed by Canarias 7, and, following in the wake of the NC crisis, that means not doing so with the party of the president of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, of Roque Aguayro, and the Gran Canaria Transport Councillor, Teodoro Sosa, of BNR de Gáldar, that is, the lung parties that provide electoral oxygen to NC in Gran Canaria.
In all this, Coalición Canaria (CC) would be in line with Roque Aguayro and BNR in the idea of coming together on the same electoral ticket in 2027 with the mayor of Mogán, Onalia Bueno, awaiting a fusion of what remains of NC in the Gran Canaria PSOE. Morales and Sosa have expressed last weekend their rejection of the PSOE's idea.
