Carlos Sánchez, newly appointed president of the interim committee of the People's Party (PP) in Gran Canaria, has welcomed Vito Quiles, known for his ultra-activism, in an informal meeting outside the Palace of the Courts. This gesture follows Quiles' recent exclusion as a journalist from the Congress of Deputies.

In a conversation shared on Instagram, Sánchez lamented the revocation of Quiles' accreditation, recalling their frequent discussions within Congress. Quiles, in turn, thanked the Gran Canarian politician for the gesture, noting that "not many politicians speak to me." Sánchez responded by inviting him to visit the PP of Gran Canaria, stating that "we are open to all kinds of journalists, left-wing, right-wing, middle-of-the-road... all types."

Vito Quiles took the opportunity to reflect on democracy, suggesting that "having people willing to talk to everyone despite their ideology" strengthens the system. He also contrasted the alleged attitude of some "more radical left-wing" journalists towards PP and Vox politicians with the supposed greater tolerance of the latter.

The ultra-activist then suggested a stay in the Canary Islands, to which Sánchez affirmatively replied: "You are welcome there," solidifying the invitation.

Carlos Sánchez was elected last week as president of the Transitional Government Commission of the PP of Gran Canaria, an interim committee, at an event attended by the party's Secretary General, Miguel Tellado, and other figures such as José Manuel Soria.

Vito Quiles' visits to the Canary Islands are not new and have often been controversial, such as an unauthorized event at the University of La Laguna last November, where Francoist flags were displayed.
