The Popular Party in the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council has called for urgent security measures for the Díaz Casanova industrial estate, following a recent incident of illegal racing that has reignited business concerns.

The political group has linked the recurring problems in Díaz Casanova to the general condition of the capital's industrial estates, pointing to a lack of attention from the municipal government.

"What happened is not an isolated incident. What is failing is political management, as effective preventive measures have not been adopted despite the industrial enclave's history."

The popular spokesperson, Jimena Delgado, emphasized that the industrial estate has been the scene of reckless driving incidents and serious accidents in recent years, a risk she considers unacceptable for an area with numerous businesses and workers.
Among the PP's proposals are the installation of speed bumps, greater access control during the night, and specific surveillance devices to prevent the area from becoming a clandestine circuit. Additionally, they suggest creating a daytime viewpoint to take advantage of the estate's views and reduce its nighttime use.
The situation in Díaz Casanova is framed, according to the PP, within a broader issue of political management in the Local Police, citing officers' refusal to perform extraordinary services and complaints about the absence of drug tests as examples of a "serious management problem."
The opposition party has insisted that the capital's industrial estates suffer significant deficiencies in cleanliness, paving, lighting, signage, and security, demanding more consistent municipal action to prevent them from remaining "the great forgotten ones."
