Santa Cruz
Mayoral dilemma
More infighting in the conservative Popular Party in Tenerife could scupper its chances of wresting the mayorship of Santa Cruz from current holders, the nationalist Canarian Coalition.

07.09.2010 - The latest internal dispute saw the well-liked Ángel Llanos removed as a councillor at the insistence of the local PP leadership, which has been engaged in a bitter battle with him since he came to prominence in Tenerife politics a few years ago.
Llanos agreed to step aside but has made it clear that he intends to stand as a candidate in next year’s local elections.  He is convinced he will win due to his popularity among voters in Santa Cruz, but his bid may be thwarted by the PP’s leader in Tenerife Cristina Tavio, who is thought to favour a different candidate.  In the meantime, local media continue to give ample coverage to Llanos, as he steps up his ‘man of the people’ campaign to be nominated.  In an interview in La Opinion daily, Llanos said he had given his first speech at the age of four and confessed, as a child, to having tried to shut his crying young brother up using an adult suppository.
