The acting leader of Nueva Canarias in the south of Gran Canaria, Samuel Henríquez Quintana, greeted, applauded and cheered this Monday at the headquarters of Roque Aguayro in Agüimes the departure of the party from which it forms part of the nationalist coalition of Antonio Morales and Teodoro Sosa (BNR). It is the third time that Samuel has done so and, unless Nueva Canarias generates an expulsion file for him, in the next few days two things will be known: one, if the five elected councillors resign in view of the internal crisis of the party or if they leave for the mixed group so that Manuel de los Reyes Encinoso Quintana (Noli), María Ángeles Rodríguez Vega, Juan Manuel Mejías Sosa, Alejandro Rodríguez Rodríguez and Rosa Delia Cazorla Rodríguez can enter. The above, provided that the successors want to be councilors until reaching who fits between the names of Yazmina del Carmen Saavedra Trujillo, Arantxa Perez Guedes, Noe Armas Vega, Celeste Guacimara Martin Medina, Aday Vega Noda, Daida Herrera Tejera, Francisco Quevedo Castellano, Farida Amalen Verde, Adriana Lopez Suarez, Miguel Pena Perez, Agustin Herrera Sanchez, Stefania Bertini, Jose Ramon Arrocha Martin, Samuel Rodriguez Alonso or Desiree Delgado Armas.
One of these names, in addition to Elena Espino Santana, if Espino is in that orbit, will be the leader of the new party after Henríquez's announcement that in Las Palmas he says one thing, in the south another, but he goes to all the assemblies of disengagement from his party that he can. This Monday the mayor of Agüimes, Óscar Hernández, encouraged him to take the step of slamming the door on NC. The local leaders of Nueva Canarias consulted by Maspalomas24H have expressed their concern about the fragmentation of the party, which could weaken its presence in a region that has historically been a bastion for the formation. The leadership of the party in the south faces the challenge of rebuilding trust among its bases and establishing a cohesive discourse that resonates with the needs and aspirations of citizens.
In an atmosphere of uncertainty and internal tensions, NC faces a crossroads following the recent split that has shaken the political party. The fracture, which has left the party in a delicate situation, has highlighted the ideological and strategic differences that have emerged between its members, especially in the south of Gran Canaria, where the party leadership will have to assume a crucial role in the coming months. The division in Nueva Canarias is not a new phenomenon, but it has gained strength in recent times, fuelled by the growing dissatisfaction of some sectors with the management of the party and its ability to represent the interests of the citizens. In the south of Gran Canaria, where social and economic diversity is palpable, the need for a unified and effective leadership becomes even more urgent.
The split in Nueva Canarias represents a significant challenge for the party's leadership in the south of Gran Canaria. The ability of its leaders to unite the different factions, listen to the citizens and respond to their needs will be crucial for the future of the party. At a time when Canarian politics is constantly evolving, Nueva Canarias has the opportunity to redefine its role and become a strong and representative voice in the south of Gran Canaria, provided it manages to overcome internal divisions and focus on what really matters: the well-being of its citizens.
