The new presidency of the Cabildo de El Hierro, by Alpidio Armas, has been possible thanks to the motion of no confidence with the seven votes of PSOE, Asamblea Herreña and IU-Reunir Canarias, against Javier Armas, his brother, from the Agrupación Herreña Independiente (THERE).
Javier Armas (AHI) won the presidency of the institution by leading the most voted list in the May 28 elections, but his four councilors and the two from the PP were not enough to consolidate the majority in the plenary session of the island corporation.
In the elections, the PSOE got three advisers, Asamblea Herreña three and IUC-Reunir Canarias one, and the three parties presented a motion of censure on June 26, after the inauguration of Javier Armas (AHI). In a tense session, the proponents of the motion justified it on the inability of the AHI to reach agreements that would consolidate a sufficient majority to provide stability to this institution.
As an alternative, “a greater representativeness than that established by AHI and PP” has been formed, according to Alpidio Armas, during his turn to speak. The outgoing president, Javier Armas, defended his 11 days in office and stated that this motion, presented the same day he took office, “discredits politics”, “destroys instead of building” and demonstrates “the lack of generosity and altitude of sights” of the censorship groups, which he accused of having a closed agreement “from the same electoral night”.
During the session, the nationalists reproached the adviser of IUC-Reunir Canarias, Amado Carballo, for being the key to consolidating the motion of censure against their Government, in contravention of the mandate of the polls.
“Seven people censor us, you have been censored by more than 2,000 at the polls,” said Javier Armas, during his speech, who had words for all the signatories of the motion. Alpidio Armas warned his brother that “everyone knows what he does and why he does it, and he also knows what he can lose by doing it.” Both the AHI and PP councilors left the plenary session after the motion of censure was successful.
The new government team at the head of the Cabildo de El Hierro, chaired by Alpidio Armas, will be made up of three PSOE advisers, including Alpidio Armas himself, Ana González and Jesús Pérez; three from Asamblea Herreña, David Cabrera, Emilio Víctor Hernández and Ana Cecilia González; and the counselor of IUC-Reunir Canarias, Amado Carballo.
In the opposition are the four councilors of AHI, Javier Armas, Asunción Amaro, Alberto Armas and Juan Pedro Sánchez; and two from the Popular Party, Rubén Armiche Benítez and Juan Manuel García.
