| Yesterday, Paulino Rivero, the President of the Canary Islands Coalition, and a member of the Madrid Parliament stated that he expected the same treatment for the Canary Islands as that afforded Cataluña in the reform of the local Statutes of Autonomy.
He added that he would be asking the Socialist Government for the same powers for the Canary Islands as have been granted to Cataluña.
However, he added that the political situation in the Canary Islands "was somewhat different" to that in Cataluña. |
