The Tenerife government has appealed to the Spanish government for financial assistance to repair and construct water supply and sewage networks on the island, seeking to involve all municipalities in the development of a financing plan.

In Tenerife, the local authorities (Cabildo) have decided to appeal to the country's government for financial assistance to repair and build water supply and sewage systems on the island. These works are planned to be included in the next aid plan for the island.

The goal is to ensure that every city has normal water and sewage systems. The local authorities promise to cooperate with all cities.

All political parties supported this idea. The Cabildo wants to actively involve all cities in the discussion by organizing meetings where each city can propose its ideas.

The island's authorities want the new aid plan to be well thought out and adopted in a timely manner so that work does not stop.

Such aid plans are very important because they help cities develop infrastructure and provide quality services to people.

The Socialist Party says that they were the ones who helped break the deadlock on the issue of a new aid plan for cities. Their deputy, Priscila de León, proposed starting the development of a new plan in advance to avoid delays.

Priscila de León emphasized that it is unacceptable for such an important plan to be halted due to government inaction. She believes that all cities, especially small ones, should have money for development.

The deputy also noted that the government is not making clear promises regarding deadlines, which worries her. They only promise to develop a plan next year, but do not guarantee when it will be adopted.

The Socialists insist that the new plan be developed together with all the island's cities and that everyone receives funding without exception. They believe that preparatory meetings should begin as soon as possible so that the plan is ready by the end of 2026.

The Socialists assure that until now, the authorities have not responded to the cities' requests to start the process. "Thanks to our proposal, there is now an obligation to develop and approve the plan," they stated.
