PP says CC‑PSOE deadlock in Cabildo stalls Fuerteventura planning

A report prepared by the Environmental Service on the Natural Resources Management Plan of the Corralejo Natural Park shows, according to the Popular Party, that “there is neither communication nor teamwork” between the governing partners. Councilor Yolanda Malaquías says that “they have been deceiving the population with planning promises that would never materialize because their interests are opposed.”

The Popular Party in the Cabildo of Fuerteventura denounced, in a statement sent on Tuesday, the “farce” on which the governing coalition of CC and PSOE has based its planning agenda during this legislature. The party stresses that this is not merely a fraud against citizens, but a technically unsustainable dynamic caused by the lack of understanding between the governing partners.

According to the PP, the “deception” of the past three years was recently uncovered in an Environmental Service report concerning the Natural Resources Management Plan (PORN) of Corralejo. The document highlights a lack of trust and cooperation between the CC‑led and PSOE‑led areas on a transversal issue essential for the island’s development: spatial planning.

“It is unacceptable that the Environment area has been excluded from the drafting of plans directly linked to biodiversity, and the report shows that where teamwork should exist there is only a clear void and lack of communication,” said Claudio Gutiérrez, PP spokesperson in the Cabildo.

Claudio Gutiérrez also lamented that environmental technicians—an area headed by PSOE—had to formally record their exclusion from the PORN coordination meetings, which are primarily environmental in content, due to the manifest lack of communication from the Territory Planning Council, which is under CC’s control.

For PP councilor Yolanda Malaquías, the technical document is the “definitive proof” that a coordinated management model between CC and PSOE has never existed to address the major issues affecting Fuerteventura’s residents.

“This lack of cross‑departmental collaboration shows we are facing another lost legislature. The internal dialogue deficit has prevented progress on decisive documents such as the natural parks’ PORNs or the Island Territorial Planning Plan (PIOF),” she added.

The PP argues that the report from the Environment Department is “clear and indisputable evidence” that the Cabildo is operating under a government “exhausted before the end of the term.” They also criticize both CC and PSOE for trying to hide their differences over the island’s development model over the past three years.

“They have been deceiving the population with planning promises that would never materialize because their interests are opposed. And they have preferred to keep their power parcels rather than sit down to design Fuerteventura’s future,” concluded Malaquías.
