Puerto de la Cruz mayor, Marcos Brito, has begun his fourth term in office

Immediately after a very rowdy vote of no confidence meeting to oust the socialist council, during which there was some disgraceful behaviour, the new nationalist-conservative coalition in Puerto de la Cruz has set out to show that it means business.

The mayor, Marcos Brito, who was actually born on the island of El Hierro in 1940, and has begun his fourth term in office, immediately held talks with the Presidents of the Canary Island Government and of the Island Council to discuss the long-promised new port and other vital projects.

But the first thing he did, and very publicly, was to hand over the keys of the new fishermen’s association building to Puerto’s fishermen, something the previous council had delayed doing, apparently due to a clash of personalities more than anything else. He also met various sectors to listen to their demands and complaints. Guillermo Meca, the new conservative PP leader in Puerto, has been given the powerful urban development office. He appears to have given a good first impression. He told reporters that politics in Puerto have been riddled with personality clashes in recent years, much to the detriment of the town and to the vision ordinary folk have of the political class.

Meca just wants to get on with the job of managing, realising he only has a year and a half to impress people before the next elections. His priorities, which include putting a bit more order and respect into council affairs, are to fight even harder for the town’s very important projects like the new marina, a golf course and other ventures aimed at putting the town back in the high class tourism league.

He will no doubt work closely with new councillor for tourism, William Lucas, who is considered very able but who also has the kind of tact and gentlemanly manners which have been missing in local politics for many years. It was logical for Marcos Brito to choose Lucas as tourism councillor as his English father has spent a lifetime involved in the tourism trade and is a member of CIT, the local Centre for Tourism Initiatives.

Nice to see a bit of objectivity in the reporting of the political situation in Puerto...lol.

Notice that the report doesn't mention who the rowdy culprits at the motion of censure were. I watched it and the disgraceful behaviour came from the nationalists who have just taken power. The socialists sat shaking their heads as Snr Britos supporters made the sort of noises you'd normally associate with a farmyard.

It's an interesting take on the events and personalities involved.
