In the Canaries, there is a new mayor: Güímar has elected Carmen Luisa Castro.

In the town of Güímar in the Canary Islands, there is a new mayor! Carmen Luisa Castro has taken over the municipality after local deputies expressed their distrust of the previous head.

Imagine: heat, silence, and portraits of former mayors looking at you. It was in this atmosphere that Carmen Luisa Castro took power. She was supported by deputies from various parties who decided that the city needed change.

12 deputies voted for the resignation of the previous mayor, Gustavo Pérez, while 9 were against. The new mayor promises a "new beginning" for Güímar.

Deputy Carlos Llarena wished the new mayor success and said that this is "a journey with a different captain." There were many people at the meeting, and passions were running high.

Why did the deputies decide to change the mayor? They were dissatisfied with the way things were being run in the city: delays in important projects, problems with funding, a crisis in the police, and other troubles. The deputies believe that the old government could not cope with the challenges.

Carmen Luisa Castro has been mayor before, and now she is returning to "steer Güímar in the right direction."

The previous mayor, Gustavo Pérez, stated that the arguments against him were "unfounded" and added that his team would continue to work for the benefit of the city.

But former mayor Airam Puerta called what happened "shameful" and accused the deputies who supported the resignation of betrayal.

Overall, big changes have taken place in Güímar. We'll see if the new mayor can live up to the expectations of the residents!
