Majorera opposition challenges the urgent route for the heritage catalogue
1. Key points
Spokesperson Peña Armas asks why the text went through on urgency after roughly three years of paperwork.
The group says 891 record sheets and 179 fresh submissions, plus the 16 La Cornisa properties, needed more shared time.
They reject the mayor David de Vera’s “cowards” label aimed at the opposition.
2. The news in detail
In a 16 September statement from Fuerteventura’s capital, Fuerteventura Avanza distances itself from the final approval of the Municipal Catalogue for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Assets. It does not dispute the value of shielding local heritage, but it does dispute the closing tempo: after a drawn-out file, jumping to urgency looks unjustified without a clear public answer from the mayor.
The party argues that the scale of the dossier — almost nine hundred assets and a recent wave of submissions from residents and administrations — plus the legal-technical weight of the La Cornisa buildings brought back into the list called for a joint table. They wanted government, opposition, Heritage leads and municipal technicians to review the contested pieces together before the final vote.
Armas stresses that studying the file and demanding safeguards is not the same as walking away from heritage protection. In her view, name-calling does not answer the calendar question, and Puerto del Rosario’s heritage should narrow gaps, not harden the political clash.
3. Voices and statements
“Asking for answers and safeguards is not cowardice,” the spokesperson sums up as she rejects the tone of the town-hall row.
4. Context and background
The note was issued from Puerto del Rosario on Tuesday 16 September 2026, a day after the plenary that gave the catalogue its final green light.
5. What it means for Fuerteventura
The row follows the municipal approval of the 891-asset inventory. More local coverage on Fuerteventura TV.
