The spokesperson for the Socialist Group, Borja Perdomo, has revealed that 1,143 people in La Palma are registered as housing applicants, according to data from the Canarian Housing Institute. This figure contrasts with the situation of the Finca Amado development in Breña Baja, where homes have been completed for over a year but have not yet been handed over.
“"While the island of La Palma counts 1143 people demanding housing, neither the Cabildo nor the Government of Canarias have been able to deliver a single house in almost three years, despite the Finca Amado development being completed and ready for habitation for over a year."
Perdomo criticized the inaction of the island and regional administrations, stating that it is "incomprehensible" that the Breña Baja homes remain empty. The socialist councilor questioned the Cabildo's housing management, asking if they assumed competencies "to freeze the management of their delivery in time."
Furthermore, the socialist spokesperson cast doubt on the credibility of Coalición Canaria (CC), asserting that their housing management is "zero." He recalled that at the beginning of the legislature, a housing plan, "La Palma 700," was announced, which, according to Perdomo, has turned out to be a "new fiction," as only just over thirty houses are being built in Tazacorte, currently in their initial phase.
It is incomprehensible that as of today these homes in Breña Baja remain deserted, while there are over a thousand people on the Island waiting for public housing.
Perdomo concluded that CC's pace does not align with the needs of La Palma, which suffers from a "deficit of actions and an inflation of empty promises," which, in his opinion, "covers up the ineffectiveness of both governments in the Cabildo and in Canarias."
