Fuerteventura Avanza criticises the Cabildo snub of the Education counsellor
1. Key points
The party rejects the treatment given to the Canarias Education counsellor on his visit to Fuerteventura for the school-year opening.
It recalls that education competence sits with the Canarias government department, not the Cabildo.
It calls on the Cabildo and the regional executive to set differences aside and cooperate for the island’s school community.
2. The news in detail
From Puerto del Rosario, dated 17 September 2026, Fuerteventura Avanza voices its disagreement with the Cabildo Insular’s stance toward the Canarias government’s Education lead, who visited the island for the start of the school year.
The party argues that friction between institutions should not spill onto so sensitive a sector as schools. It stresses that education powers sit with the regional department, while still recognising the Cabildo’s right to press for better provision and resources for Fuerteventura.
What it finds striking is that Coalición Canaria and the Partido Popular — partners in the Canarias executive — should show such sharp disagreement in a field strategic for pupils and families. It therefore urges both administrations to set the dispute aside and build joint working channels for the good of the island.
3. Voices and statements
The party asks both sides to park their differences and open collaboration channels for Fuerteventura’s good.
