The motion, promoted by the Popular Party of Fuerteventura and approved in the Senate with the abstention of Canary Islands socialist senators, seeks to reverse the situation caused by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility's failure to process the Public Service Obligation (OSP) before the deadline.
The Popular Party demands that Pedro Sánchez's administration adopt immediate corrective measures and guarantee the stability of maritime connections to prevent further isolation of Fuerteventura and mitigate the inflationary spiral affecting the island.
“"The dereliction of duty and abandonment by Pedro Sánchez's socialist government is currently causing serious harm to the economy of those of us living in Fuerteventura."
The president of the PP in Fuerteventura, Jéssica de León, thanked the support of the popular senators and expressed her concern about the severe economic and social consequences of the route's interruption. She noted that the lack of this connection harms the supply of goods and increases logistical costs, thereby raising the cost of living for island residents.
De León criticized the lack of involvement from Fuerteventura's socialist representatives in Madrid, questioning the actions of the PSOE senator for the island for not firmly demanding the urgent declaration of the OSP. She also expressed dissatisfaction with the Director General of State Ports, lamenting that the problems arising from the OSP's expiry were not foreseen or resolved in time, especially given his origin from Fuerteventura.
