The Nordic people of Las Palmas are wrong and this was already said in 2024 by Maspalomas24H with the floats of the Carnival of the south of Gran Canaria. "If there were no floats, there would be no parades," said in the political capital of the island a representative of a pressure group that opposes paying a miserable eco-tax of 145 euros and that the City Council of San Bartolomé de Tirajana censures the obscene designs that violate the norm of protection of the image of minors given that those that are exhibited, who are the ones that pay, are seen on the Playa del Inglés route by tourists. They make the design for the theme of the boring Carnival of Las Palmas and then repeat it in the south of the island as if it were a commercial product and not a tool for promoting tourism. "They even pay very little," could be read this weekend. in the comments of Canarias7, where they have announced the news.
In Las Palmas there are two pressure groups with interests in the south of the island: Asociación Recreativa de Carrozas Islas Canarias (which is not registered with the Government of the Canary Islands, it does not legally exist) and Asociación de Carroceros Telcarroza, which does not welcome changes to the board of directors and has been deregistered since 2015. The Maspalomas Cavalcade has become a business in Las Palmas and Tenerife, transforming a route that was always striking because it was originally staffed by tourism workers and residents of the south of Gran Canaria. The bad taste of Las Palmas against the south of Gran Canaria knows no bounds.
One of the last two pressure groups in Las Palmas has asked for an appointment with the San Bartolomé de Tirajana Town Hall to ask for explanations, as if these people were running for election, for short-circuiting their business. The Las Palmas carnival floats are not profitable if they do not sell the pack together to officials, mostly invited by private firms that in turn sponsor what were formerly the truck platforms of the Bonny tomato growers, among other companies in the logistics sector.
The trucks that pollute the south of Gran Canaria are in the crosshairs of Maspalomas because they generate a bad image with their polluting emissions given that the region sells sustainability. The business of this troop that comes from Las Palmas is to rent trucks and sell a series of services that have no tax control of any kind. The south of Gran Canaria has applied a ridiculous eco-tax of 145 euros when these platforms host dozens of people who pay between 90 and 100 euros and so on, adding up to at least 50.
