After what the general secretary of the PSOE, Ángel Víctor Torreswill inform Ferraz of his refusal to attend at general elections and his desire to remain as leader of the opposition in the Parliament of the Canary Islandsthe party has decided to resort to "safe" names Facing the July 23th and that at the same time allows them to continue having a "weight" presence in the institutions of the archipelago. In addition, they consider that, given that the game is played in the next call, "it is necessary" to resort to names "with solvency".
With these premises, the regional executive give him approval to the names of the leader of Lanzarote, Dolores Corujoand of the Minister of Tourism, Héctor Gómez, to lead the candidacies to Congress for the two provinces Canary Islands.
