The Popular Party of La Palma has expressed its dissatisfaction with the management of the current Insular Cabildo government, led by Coalición Canaria, accusing them of living off past achievements and taking credit for projects initiated in the previous legislature.

According to the PP, the recent announcement of the opening in May of the Canary Islands Cultural Park in Los Llanos de Aridane, to be managed by the public company Sodepal, is a clear example of this practice. The Popular Party asserts that this infrastructure was conceived, designed, and funded during their term, with a clear roadmap left for its execution.

This great infrastructure is the result of the work, planning, and management of the previous government team, which left the roadmap completely drawn so that today it can be a reality.

Furthermore, the PP warns about the “management incapacity” of the current insular government, pointing out that continuous delays and unfulfilled promises are the true hallmark of Coalición Canaria. They cite the case of the Cultural Space and Interpretation Center of El Paso, a project promoted by the PP in 2021. Although the Cabildo president announced its completion by the end of 2025, in April 2026, the work remains unfinished.
In the same vein, the PP highlights the Business and Housing Incubator in Tijarafe, another strategic infrastructure rescued and funded with over five million euros during their mandate, framed within the FDCAN funds. They emphasize that, although the nationalists present it as an absolute priority, they are merely completing a comprehensive job already secured by the Popular Party.
The Popular Party concludes that, with one year left in the legislature, the government team's balance sheet shows an “absolute lack of their own initiatives,” lamenting that Coalición Canaria has based its mandate on “taking photos and monopolizing headlines with others' projects,” demonstrating a worrying lack of ideas for the future of La Palma.
