AgroaldeaTHIS IS HOW CLEARLY THE SECTOR EXPRESSED ITSELF BEFORE THE PSC.
The Canarian socialists visited the municipality in order to “listen, take note and work on solutions” on the primary sector and, concretely, the situation you are going through.
Fifty farmers were present at the work meeting., ranchers and fishermen of the municipality of La Aldea. At the head of the socialist delegation, the secretary general, Lopez Aguilar.
Jacinto Godoy, manager of Coagrisán, He was in charge of transmitting to the socialist delegation the situation of the sector and listing each of the factors that have led the primary sector to this reality..
Godoy stated in his speech that he did not exonerate any political force for not having done anything. It included all of them and, he added, that it will cost the Administration much more to assume the strike and the closure of the sector, than refinance your debt, calculated in about 35 million euros.
In his speech, Godoy expressed that We are already tired of telling and recounting the problem. “What we need are solutions and we have them, and if someone has better ones, "expose them" he added.
Among the possible solutions, Godoy referred to the time of Galo Ponte when he disentailed the Hacienda de La Aldea. Now we would try to do the opposite: that the Administration rescue the properties, before the banks and savings banks speculate with them and we lose them to the highest bidder.
And almost all of the village lands are in the hands of the banks, with appraisals far below their real value and, in many cases, se suman a las hipotecas, el patrimonio inmueble de los agricultores y ganaderos.
Godoy manifestó que en La Aldea, today, no se puede hacer otra cosa y, In addition, afirmó que el relevo generacional que se produjo hace poco, demuestra que queremos seguir trabajando en esto. No tenemos ningún Plan Alternativo en este municipio y hasta que exista, tendremos que seguir comiendo.
Y no nos dejan ninguna alternativa. Godoy indicó que el caso de La Aldea es único en Canarias: the 87% del territorio está declarado como zona Protegida, en la que no podemos hacer nada, ni de la que tampoco nos beneficiamos. No es justo decidir el futuro de nueve mil personas desde un despacho y, a lot less, impedirles cualquier desarrollo.
On the other hand, Lopez Aguilar, responded to the sector that the next general budgets contemplate an increase of five million euros in transport aid and that he took note of what was stated to work on solutions.
