The two formations have held various meetings since May 28 and today the agreement reached to govern for the next four years has been made official on the island of Gran Canaria, although there are still details to be outlined.
CC and PP will have the support of the Agrupación Socialista Gomera (ASG) and the Agrupación Herreña Independiente (AHI) in the next Government of the Canary Islands, which are essential to reach the majority, although for now it has not been specified whether they will assume any council or They will provide their support from outside. "We will have AHI and ASG to have a solvent majority that gives stability, but we have not yet specified how," said the leader of the nationalists and future president of the Government of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo. It is expected that at the end of this week the pact will be sealed definitively.
The president of the popular canaries, Manuel Domínguez, will be the vice president. The PP will also take charge of the Ministry of Finance and will have the presidency of the Parliament of the Canary Islands.
In the presentation of the agreement, Domínguez indicated that the objective of the next Government of the Canary Islands and that it is the basis of the agreement reached by CC and PP, is to implement a fiscal policy "in accordance with the times and that helps families", change the management of the health system -which is characterized in the Canary Islands by long waiting lists- and put an end to the "check for everything" policy.
Domínguez and Clavijo indicated that people will not be chosen for the different positions based on island quotas "but by their capacity." "We are going to look for the most suitable profiles for the challenges," said Clavijo.
