BY FAILING TO PAY THE AID AGREED BETWEEN THE STATE AND CANARY GOVERNMENTS.

The general secretary of COAG in Gran Canaria, Juan Hernandez, denounces the Government of the Canary Islands for leaving hundreds of farmers and ranchers at the feet of banks and creditors for not complying with their commitment to pay POSEI aid and pointed out that it is a scam in the sector..

Hernández has stated that the primary sector of the islands has seen how 30 June, deadline for payment of aid, What the Government of the Canary Islands does is take the money from Brussels, distribute it to the misery that touches each one, thus breaking his word by not putting in a single cent of the money agreed with Madrid.

The island secretary explained that workers in the sector wait for that money every year in the month of June to go to the bank and pay debts., since it remembers that it is a sector that has been in debt long before the crisis arrived. However, The fact that this year the expected money has not been received leads to more debts with the banks and the lack of leftovers to spend campaign after campaign., It was the only way to move forward..

From your point of view, “the lack of shame and the hard face of those responsible for this Government” leads them to commit to agricultural organizations to pay this money in June, don't do it, and now promise that they will pay it before the end of the year.

Juan Hernández also recalls that COAG denounced last year that this Madrid-Canary Islands agreement did not reflect the amount that the Canary Islands executive should put in., after which the Government accused those responsible for the organization of being alarmists and of promoting conflict in the sector against the Government.

This Government is right, Once again, to those responsible for COAG in their continuous complaints about the abandonment of the sector by this executive, while revealing that he constantly resorts to deception to divert attention from his problems, reasons why the organization is already working to articulate measures to pay the debt to farmers and ranchers, by launching protests.

The representative of COAG affirms that with this Government the ruin of the sector is assured and it will only be left for Paulino Rivero to cultivate the lands and take care of the cows if he wants the primary sector of the islands to remain alive..
