.50 Years of Political Responsibility in Fuerteventura

AM‑CC celebrates its first 2026 Island Political Council session, marked by strong participation and new challenges for the year

The Majorero Assembly – Canarian Coalition Fuerteventura (AM‑CC) held its first Island Political Council (CPI) of 2026 on Wednesday. During the session the party presented its new work plan, which will guide its actions throughout the year. A central pillar of the program is the preparation for the 50th anniversary of the Majorero Assembly, scheduled for 2027.

The work plan also includes a series of training days aimed at both party members and public officials, covering key ideological themes of the nationalist formation. These sessions will reinforce knowledge and address fundamental concepts related to identity, demographic challenges, communication, innovation, and new technologies.

In addition, the council discussed the need to reactivate the “Fuerteventura Needs You” project, with the goal of responding to the island’s population demands and creating new spaces for sectoral debate in areas such as primary production, health care, roads, and territorial planning, among others.

Through these initiatives, the party seeks to move toward a participatory island model, focused on building a sustainable Fuerteventura that deeply respects the identity tied to its territory. The protection of the island’s land has always been a core element of the party’s identity.

“Preventing places like the Saladar de Jandía or the Island of Lobos from being occupied today by large hotel complexes has been possible thanks to the historic claims of the men and women of the Majorero Assembly,” the party noted.

They also highlighted that, thanks to the PTEOTI (Territorial Planning and Environmental Impact Plan), the construction of 55,000 hotel beds was halted, arguing that the island should not assume a further increase in tourist capacity.

Demographic and Tourism Measures

• The council examined the notable population growth the island has experienced over the past 20 years.
• It called for regulation of this growth and the advancement of a residency law.
• Measures to mitigate tourism’s impact were debated, including the implementation of an eco‑tax and a freeze on new hotel constructions.

“All the issues discussed in our assemblies are essential to advancing the island model we defend,” the participants added.

Energy Policy

AM‑CC reiterated that the deployment of renewable energy must not rely on indiscriminate land consumption. The party advocates:

• Using already anthropized zones, such as building rooftops.
• Creating energy communities as sustainable alternatives.

They also stressed the importance of facilitating solar‑panel installations on private homes:

“This is the most effective way for residents to see a real reduction in their electricity bills while promoting efficient, environmentally‑friendly renewable investment that does not occupy land.”

Territorial Vulnerability and Planning

Given Fuerteventura’s flat topography, the party warned of heightened vulnerability to external interests. Its priority objectives are:

• Accelerating the drafting of general plans for the island’s municipalities.
• Advancing the Island Territorial Planning Plan (PIOF) to prevent uncontrolled development.

“We will not allow multinational companies to exploit Fuerteventura’s territory for their own benefit at the expense of the common interest,” the council concluded.

Tribute to Candelaria Umpiérrez

At the close of the session, the Island Political Council expressed its support for Candelaria Umpiérrez, who announced the end of her term as mayor of Tuineje. The party recognized and thanked her for her work during a particularly complex mandate, praising her loyalty, dedication, and commitment to the political formation.
