Coalición Canaria has ended its support for Pedro Sánchez's government, demanding the calling of general elections. The reasons: the indictment of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in the Plus Ultra case, the impossibility of approving a General State Budget, and the failure to fulfill commitments made to the Canary Islands archipelago, such as regional financing or the immigration pact.
The budget deadlock halts the islands' digitalization 📉
Without an updated General State Budget, key projects for the Canary Islands such as the deployment of fiber optics in rural areas, the modernization of smart ports, or investment in renewable energy remain up in the air. The lack of specific budget allocations delays the implementation of 5G networks in tourist areas and the updating of waste management systems, leaving the islands at a technological disadvantage compared to other autonomous communities.
Zapatero indicted and the Canary Islands without Wi-Fi: the perfect move 😅
While former President Zapatero faces the courts over the Plus Ultra bailout, Canary Islanders look to the horizon hoping that 5G reaches them before their ID cards expire. Coalición Canaria has said enough, and it's no wonder: between indictments and frozen budgets, the only thing growing on the islands is the list of unfulfilled promises. Perhaps the next bailout should be for the patience of the Canary Island people.
