This text is for foreigners because the Canaries continue with their magical realism. The Spanish heirs, mostly from Las Palmas and voters of Coalición Canaria, who gained access to real estate in the south of Gran Canaria thanks to the safe-conducts of the Franco era (this week a leader admitted to the presenter Evaristo Quintana on Prisa Radio that she had been a property owner "since Franco's time") can now trust in democracy again.
The PP, believing that this electoral pool is available, announced an administrative truce on Wednesday. That is to say: a grey legal buffer zone with the permission of Coalición Canaria, which has been cooking up this rule since 2015 despite the wear and tear it has caused it with the Las Palmas hotel employers' association. What's there now? A Dombass where up to 5 administrations have jurisdiction over land matters.
The mayor of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Marco Aurelio Pérez, who is not from the PP but from the local partner AV, said on Wednesday that he has spoken with the regional councillor for Tourism, Jessica de León (who would be from a kind of low-calorie conservative party in the United Kingdom or the CSU (not CDU in Germany), to block fines for owners of Las Palmas who use tourist land to live.
Pérez stressed to the PP minister the need to stop these proceedings and that this suspension "lasts long enough for all the legislative changes in progress to be approved, thus allowing us to have a comprehensive view of the sector in the Canary Islands."
Regional sources told Maspalomas24H that Coalición Canaria (CC) and PP will create a legal buffer zone "and there is nothing new, that was already said last October."
The increased pressure on the PP from its social mass has generated a mobilization to stop digital attacks and harassment.
These restrictions have created discontent among property owners, as they limit their ability to rent or reside in their properties in areas that are key to tourism.
The PP is seeking to mediate in this situation, trying to find a balance between tourism regulation and the rights of property owners. The situation reflects a conflict between tourism development policies and the needs of residents and property owners in these areas. The PP's response could include proposals to modify current regulations or seek solutions that benefit both parties.
These types of tensions are common in areas with high tourist activity, where policies can significantly affect the lives of local residents and property owners.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Marco Aurelio Pérez said that "there are various legislative changes related to tourism activity (in reference to the bill regulating holiday homes that is being processed in Parliament) that are progressing at different rates. On the other hand, Law 2/2013, of May 29, on the renovation and modernization of tourism in the Canary Islands remains in force, which has led to the processing of various sanctioning files, generating an environment of uncertainty."
Pérez mentioned that his proposal has been received "positively" by Jéssica de León, who has expressed her commitment to explore alternatives. More translated: the embassies in Madrid are doing their work on the Canary Islands Government.
