特内里费岛 - 特内里费岛考虑赌场抛售的选择
By 菲尔 -12年2019月XNUMX日
The Socialist Party of Spain (PSOE) has reached an agreement with the Podemos (We Can) Party to analyse the possible alternatives to the sale of the three casinos in Tenerife planned by the local council.
In the agreement, the two political parties agreed to jointly file a motion of censure against the ex President of the council Carlos Alonso, so that all information regarding the process of selling the casinos must be collected, in order to analyse the procedure so far as well as the economic viability of these companies going forward.
According to El Día the current president of the council, Pedro Martín, has already acknowledged that he does not know if the operation can be reversed.
The future of the casinos has caused considerable controversy. Podemos accused the previous government of selling the three public casinos with a price much lower than their actual value – and denounced it before the courts.
然而，该委员会副主席恩里克·阿里亚加(Enrique Arriaga)已经宣布，在他与PSOE签署的协议中，双方都承诺对公共部门进行精简，因此，他们计划继续理事会拥有多数股权的公司的重组计划。
In September the government announced that the three casinos in Tenerife had been put on sale and would be privatised under a new public tender for a total of €24.9m. The council then headed by Carlos Alonso explained that the resources obtained after the sale of the three casinos would “be used to finance social-health infrastructures” on the island.
In October 2018 workers for three state owned casinos came out in opposition of government plans to offer the casinos up for tender. In a unanimous decision workers from the three casinos agreed to take action against the move as reported by the General Worker’s Union of Spain in the Canary Islands. The union is strongly against privatisation as they argue that the casinos have consistently reported profits or at least have broken even and they also belong to the state.
