Deputy Vidina Espino surprised Parliament yesterday by telling your honorable Members – before anyone else – that she is leaving her party, apparently because she feels very disappointed, for having voted Ciudadanos in Congress together with the PSOE, Podemos and the independentistas, contrary to Parliament’s position on REF. Espino is not the first to leave her party in the Canary Islands, nor will she probably be the last between now and the next elections. As far as I remember, after the retirement of the precursor Mariano Cejas, angry because he did not get the seat in Parliament that he wanted, all the members of the manager set up by Madrid resigned after the cessation of Juan Amigó as Secretary of the Organization: Santiago Santana and Marcos Cohen The manager and party left at the same time, and José Guerra the manager, although he continues as a councilor. For free. Teresa Berástegui (signed by Curbelo in Tourism), the chicharrero councilor Juan Ramón Lazcano, Evelyn Alonso, and also a lot of old affiliates, such as Reyes Dorta, Roberto Elices Palomar, Antonio Blanco, Enrique Rosales … and Sergio Berjón, who left when Arriaga was reinstated, who had previously been expelled along with Conchi Rivero for not respecting the party’s instructions for the Cabildo. But it is not just a problem in Tenerife: in Las Palmas Beatriz Correa, a mayoral candidate, and Javier Amador, an elected councilor, left the party. In addition to the deputy to Congress Saúl Ramírez, who left after the election of Inés Arrimadas, or Guayarmina Méndez and David Morales, an indecisive guy, who left, came back later and left again later. In Lanzarote the councilors Víctor Duque, Francisco Ramón de La Cruz, and Delia Hernández, and the councilor Benjamín Perdomo and also David Rodríguez have left. In Fuerteventura the two councilors of Puerto del Rosario who broke the voting discipline and voted with Podemos. On La Palma, Nieves Díaz, candidate for Parliament and member of the regional committee. And it seems that Melissa Rodríguez is either gone or the earth has swallowed her up. Arrimadas got rid of it and they say that he is on La Palma looking for work in the PP.
Before the announcement made by the last Citizen to run away, what remains looks like a desert, in which only those expelled from the first hour, readmitted later, endure. In such desolation flourishes like a succulent plant Doña Matilde Zambudio. Cacti always survive in deserts.
