Isabel Pantoja, despised by the Canarian Coalition: “She is a devalued artist who caused havoc in Marbella”

The Cabildo of the Canary Islands continues the brawl. He PP It completely rejects the hiring of Isabel Pantoja as ambassador of the island and has requested all the documentation to study its validity. This Wednesday, Canarian Coalition has demanded the cancellation of the agreement: “It's enough that anything goes. He who has committed a crime in life has to pay the consequences”said its spokesman, Antonio Vélez.

The party points out that the tonadillera is a “devalued” artist who has lost “credibility” and that her image will harm the islands: “Isabel Pantoja is not the most suitable person to sign a tourism contract and represent the Canary Islands. She is not a good ambassador because of her resume, because of her past, she wreaked havoc in Marbella”. Furthermore, they have compiled reports to support their arguments and justify their request: “Interest in the singer and her family has decreased according to reports commissioned by the Junta de Andalucía due to her discredit due to the cases of corruption in which she has been involved. seen wrapped.”

The Agüimes Canary Coalition group has announced a motion in which it will ask for explanations and urge the withdrawal of sponsorship and the dissolution of any existing contracts.

The PP calls for transparency

For her part, the party's deputy spokesperson in Gran Canaria, Josefa Luzardo, considers that the agreement promoted by the Government is “controversial” by involving the singer in a public call for subsidies. “We have asked for the intervention report, the legal advisory report that supports the signing of that contract and we have asked, if it exists, which it seems not, a report from the tourism area, which is the one specialized in this type of things, especially for the promotion of the island of Gran Canaria,” he explained this Tuesday.

Luzardo maintains that the information his party received is that “the public company that manages the entire development of Gran Canaria knew absolutely nothing about that contract.” Furthermore, he regrets that almost a week has passed since the explanations they requested at their last Plenary Session and that they have still not received a response.

A very juicy agreement

The agreement that the tonadillera has reached with the council offers you a total of 160,000 euros in exchange for promoting the culture and gastronomy of the Canary Islands during the 17 concerts that make up their 50th Anniversary tour. The opposition of the council suspects there may be irregularitiessince the sponsorship was closed when the singer's tour had already begun and some experts point out that the bonus for her is “very inflated.”

For their part, the council assured that they would give the pertinent explanations because the “contract is supervised and regulated.” Apparently, it was not the only link they offered him: Isabel Pantoja could have been the image of the islandbut rejected the proposal because it had to be registered as an essential requirement.
