1. What do you mean by quality of life?

   We have tried to sell that quality of life is to have major infrastructure, commercial centers, the latest technology, etc. Nothing is further from the truth. While still can, and should, be improved so many things, there is now a better quality of life in La Palma in Tenerife. Already taking shape, and incidentally pointing what some of our current shortage, quality of life is to have access to decent housing, health and have a quality public education, good working conditions, healthy eating, proper social environment and adequate natural environment. What

2. proposes his party in relation to agriculture, organic farming and the import of agricultural products?

   To People's Unity is essential to achieve food sovereignty, which is recommended by the FAO. An insular and fragmented territory depends to such a high level of imports is a suicide, a great danger because, before any international military situations, the arrival of commodities in the Canaries would be slowed. For us it is fundamental suppression of REA, the socialization of water and promoting aid to small farmers and food industry with a view of domestic supply. It is not autarky, of course, this is our future. It is necessary also to promote livestock overlapping and connected with agriculture, this would significantly reduce the use of certain chemical fertilizers, imported feed, etc. An example of how far the absurd: What makes the island currently importing bags of fried bananas and candied papaya packed away? And put an end to the persecution now have agriculture, livestock and the production of traditional craft.

3. What future arises in relation to bananas? Banana

   The question is fundamental when the island practically live in this activity can be described as the economic engine insular. However, we should question the current model, too reliant on subsidies, and question also monoculture. The problem is that when we question the banana monoculture model by some sectors, there is a risk of substitution of banana for the cement, which is obviously a setback. The banana is eaten, not cement. Should be considered in agricultural diversification, the use of waste bananas to own livestock, the socialization of the water ... and put an end to the dictatorship of middle and large landowners who control the stores and the entire marketing process.

4. Do you take into account the principle of "food sovereignty" for the island?

   Indeed, as already answered the question above, food sovereignty is a fundamental objective view to achieving a decent future, particularly in an archipelago. Before any court or international problem that restricts Canary communications with the outside (remember that remain international waters or outside the Exclusive Economic Zone of Morocco, as the recent "recognition" of the "canary water" is just lip service) , Canary could run short of supplies. Model as dependent on imports is unworkable and dangerous. What

5. his party proposes to improve the problem of waste and water treatment plants on the island? Do you think the complex environment of The Dark provides a solution to the problem of Barranco Seco and other illegal sites? The island

   between population a heightened awareness at the time of separating the waste. However, should improve their management, recycling and also to speak not only recycling, but something that is often forgotten: the reuse.

6. What is discussed to ensure energy supply to the island to the progressive rise in oil prices and announced zenith?

   is essential to promote the use of renewable energies like wind. They can also return to one's advantage to build water pipes small hydro. Nor should we forget something essential, and is currently a private company has a monopoly power in the Canaries. Something as fundamental as electricity should be in public hands, and therefore advocate the nationalization of UNELCO. The nearby Peak oil is a real problem, and unfortunately people are not yet enough awareness in a society so dependent on fossil fuels. If you do not consider alternatives already (and gas, of course, is no alternative, nor totally biofuels in those cases involving people take food to give to the car, see the question of millet in Mexico), the results will be catastrophic. How

7. improve the infrastructure planned for the island (highways, bridges, beaches ,.....) issues such as unemployment, health, education and poverty levels?

   The Pharaonic and major infrastructure works do not solve the problem of unemployment on the island and contribute to island development. To generate employment and prevent the decline of certain villages, the key is to generate activity in those centers and provide them with essential services. Bridges and highways, besides having a high environmental cost, not at all contribute to the development of the island, only serve as an outlet for people to flee. It also convert an "island continent" in an island prison. " How to help a freeway to alleviate poverty or improve public health? Nothing. Is the use of public resources, ie money tod @ s, in search of a profit to the pockets of a few.

8. What do you think is the appropriate territorial model for the island?

   live on an island with limited land, and has the relief you have. This is not no curse, nor should we feel self-conscious about it. Whoever sees this as a disadvantage or a problem, is that not come to love their own land. We can not pretend to have a way typical of mainland territory with a totally different terrain de Canarias. The territorial model appropriate to the island must adapt to the conditions of the island, the island does not adapt to the territorial model. The territorial model appropriate to the island must make clear that it can continue to grow "indefinitely" to be banished the idea of \u200b\u200b"development = growth", especially when identified (identification, of course, wrong) development and progress with cement and piche . Farming and ranching are not symbols of underdevelopment but remains the cornerstone of the economy, basic, people need to eat. The territorial model appropriate to the island has to take into account the island and geared to agricultural diversification and a redistribution of the wealth generated there, you do not run into a few hands. The capitalist model requires steady growth and it is obviously impractical. It is not feasible on a global scale, much less viable, island-wide.

9. Some say that La Palma needs to increase its population in 40 or 50 thousand people, what do you think of this? Is it sustainable for a small country like ours?

   clearly not sustainable. Should be established What is the population limit to where you can reach the island without threatening its balance. Without judging anyone for their place of origin, for now, the immigration law judge differently depending on the new inhabitants of African or European, for instance. The establishment of the optimum population for an island has to avoid all racist approach. Of course, it is also hypocritical to establish population limits when the current economic model requires more and more people. It's about changing the economic model that addresses the real needs of people and demographic setting limits must be matched of policies that foster and bring to the exclusion of the poor immigrants, punishing the abuse and exploitation to which they are subjected unscrupulous employers.

10. How does the model proposed in the Special Spatial Plan for tourism in La Palma (PTE), which offers golf courses, marinas, macrohoteles, etc., And has served as a base to PIOLP? Is it compatible with an island a Biosphere Reserve? "Distribute the wealth or concentrate on a few construction companies and speculators?

    The PTE in the event that would take place, would be a tragedy for the island of La Palma, destruction own territory. It is incredible that on the pretext of attracting tourism destroys what, potentially, attract tourism, the very attractiveness of the island. This is all self-conscious minds who hate their land, and aim to create tourist facilities can be found anywhere else in the world, photocopying, places of consumption. It is totally incompatible with an island a Biosphere Reserve. By no means shared the wealth, but will only increase the gap between rich and poor, most people only aspire palm to be operated under poverty wages making beds or serving trays. Remember that the vast majority of benefits generates economic mass tourism stays out of the Canaries.

11. The European Community has repeatedly denounced the Canary Islands for not adequately protecting the natural protected areas and their important biodiversity, what action arises in this regard?

    The problem is that under the guise of environmental protection, pursuing the small farmer and the farmer, but is allowed in those protected areas to build houses of dubious legality, roads, golf courses, etc. Do not forget that every landscape is not only natural but has lived anthropogenic processes. Therefore, we must move from protectionism misunderstood (sometimes used hypocritically by the administration) to models aimed at synergistic processes between humans and the environment. Protected natural areas should not be seen merely as recreational areas, and urban parks in the center of an area degraded. We need a global idea of \u200b\u200bthe island territory when we talk about protection. It is true that the Canaries have a significant percentage of its territory under some form of protection, but in practice is just worthless.

12. How does the health of democracy in La Palma (speculation, corruption, cronyism, citizen participation)? How do you understand citizen participation? Which begs to improve it?

    The island of La Palma still carries the burden of the chieftaincy and obviously there is no interest by the authorities to promote a more democratic culture among the population. Democracy is not a vote every four years and not believe in the existence of a "political class." What exists now are mere executors of the interests of a particular social class, which is the big bourgeoisie. Everyone must be political, all citizens should be politically active, have a critical awareness of reality. We favor participatory and direct democracy in mechanisms as participatory budgeting, referenda, caucuses, etc. But do not change anything if you do not touch the economic power also. A very interesting model and take into account is the Marinaleda.
