Chronicle of power in Maspalomas: FECAO, what a troop

Gara Hernandez Wednesday, February 12, 2025

I'll be gentle. FECAO, the leisure employers' association that once fought with José Moriana's FEHT and was chaired by José María Barrientos, has a horrible date in its memory that it doesn't want to be known: November 4, 2016. That day, which might seem common on the calendar, became a turning point for the Canarian Business Federation of Leisure and Services, known as FECAO and set up in the heat of ATI in Las Palmas. Or the CDS.

 

That day in the Commercial Court No. 1 of Las Palmas, under the watchful eye of Águeda Reyes Almeida, Clerk of the Court of Justice, an Order was issued that would resonate in the echoes of the Canarian business community and in the middlemen troops that come down from Las Palmas to the south of Gran Canaria to pretend that they own something.

 

The bankruptcy procedure 0000158/2016, promoted by the attorney Francisco Bethencourt Manrique de Lara on behalf of ÁREA DE FORMACIÓN Y ESTUDIOS, SL, revealed the harsh reality that FECAO was facing. With its CIF G35399054, the federation, which had fought to be a bastion in the leisure and services sector in the archipelago, was dragged into a necessary bankruptcy. This term, which may sound technical, encloses a history of financial difficulties that led the entity to a dead end. Was there a cause for dissolution? So what is FECAO in 2025? An NGO?

 

Now in 2025, FECAO would have created a false information flag saying that it is going into bankruptcy. Since in Palmas they don't know anything about the bluffs, they have given a letter of nature to a lie. The curious thing is that Barrientos, in an apparent attempt to write a crime novel, has contaminated the readers of the digital Tourisnews using words from King Felipe VI that no one can verify (apart from the lack of respect for the Royal Family) without telling the other side of the story.
