ASSESSMENT
The mayor of La Oliva, Isaí Blanco, held a working meeting yesterday with the chief captain of the Company of the Civil Guard in Fuerteventura, the lieutenant commander of the Civil Guard Post of Corralejo, and the deputy chief inspector of the Local Police de La Oliva, to deal with this and other matters related to the start of Phase 0 of de-escalation.
The mayor and the police officers agreed that both bodies will coordinate to ensure compliance with the new regulations, and they sent a message to the population requesting citizen collaboration with the authority.
However, after order SND / 380/2020 was published today, Mayor Isaí Blanco believes that island territories could have more flexible rules as long as circumstances allow.
"In the Canary Islands and especially in the non-capital islands, where fortunately the pandemic is controlled, where we have very low population densities and vast coastline, it would be advisable to propose more flexibility for sports," said Blanco, "both in the respective to the schedules as in the displacements to practice sports like the surf and the like ».
The mayor of La Oliva explained that "if there is a place where this could be done, it is Fuerteventura, and particularly in the municipality of La Oliva, with a young population that has completed a month and a half of confinement, and where the rate of contagion has been especially low, or practically nil ».
For all these reasons, Blanco asked the sports sector for reassurance, requested that the established rules be complied with, and announced that to try to improve the conditions of the Order on Monday, he will request clarification and propose more flexible measures to the Canary Islands Government, at the meeting scheduled by videoconference with other mayors and with the president of the community, Ángel Víctor Torres.
