The mobilization aims to highlight collective discontent over a situation that has persisted since 2021, affecting one of La Gomera's most crucial routes. This road, linking La Gomera Airport to Paredes, provides access to various neighborhoods and the municipal center of Alajeró, and connects to the Playa de Santiago region.
The prolonged delay in completing the works not only causes inconvenience but also increases road safety risks. The protest seeks to pressure the Regional Executive, particularly the Department of Public Works, Housing, and Mobility, to implement immediate necessary measures.
The two political forces that are part of the Alajeró Municipal Corporation –PSOE and ASG—unanimously approved an Institutional Agreement on February 23, formally expressing the Town Council's discomfort and concern over the prolonged delay in the execution of the conditioning works and the situation of insecurity, inconvenience, and prejudice that this delay is causing to the residents of the municipality, as well as to visitors and users of the road.
The Mayor of Alajeró, Manuel Ramón Plasencia, has urged residents from the municipality and the rest of the island, along with various groups, public institutions, and political parties, to join the protest. The objective is to register the widespread dissatisfaction and demand the effective resumption and acceleration of work on all pending sections, which, if not expedited, could extend completion until 2027 or beyond.
