The spokesperson for the Popular Party (PP) in the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council, Jimena Delgado, has demanded that the municipal government create a comprehensive report analyzing the economic, legal, contractual, financial, and administrative impact of any potential halt, reformulation, or cancellation of the Metroguagua project. Delgado believes that the information request submitted by her political group was rejected at a critical juncture for the infrastructure's future, which has already seen nine years of construction without completion and no clear service start date.
According to the popular councilwoman, currently, "there is not a single active work site" linked to the Metroguagua. Therefore, she argues for the necessity of having updated data on the project's real status and the repercussions of future decisions. The PP has requested detailed information through 60 questions, including existing reports, costs of a potential halt or reformulation, current contracts, assumed obligations, the loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB), subsidies at risk, pending sections, executed and unexecuted investment, impact on Guaguas Municipales, and a realistic timeline.
The PP spokesperson maintains that the objective of this request is to obtain a prior assessment that determines the project's accumulated cost to date, what remains to be executed, the cost of its completion, and the implications of a possible halt, including the potential need to return subsidies and associated legal or economic responsibilities.
Delgado considers the municipal government's refusal to process the request to be indicative of "opacity" in managing a project that, in her view, has become a source of problems. She notes that Darias had indicated the system would be partially operational in 2024, without specific deadlines being set. The popular spokesperson points to areas such as Hoya de la Plata, Parque Santa Catalina, and the vicinity of the Hospital Insular as locations affected by the works, which she describes as "bogged down."
Finally, Delgado calls on Carolina Darias to assume political responsibility and provide the requested information, arguing that citizens should be aware of the economic and administrative scope of the alternatives being considered for the Metroguagua.
