Activists end hunger strike in Tenerife after 20 days

The group of activists from the 'Canarias se Agota' group, who had been on hunger strike since April 11th to demand a change in the economic and tourism model in the Canary Islands, stopped their protest yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) after 20 days.

The decision was made during an address the population of the islands held in Plaza La Concepción in La Laguna, in which the association maintains its demands, including the approval of a tourist moratorium, the suspension of the hotel projects in La Tejita and Cuna de Alma, and the creation of binding citizen assemblies.

"This is what we the people want. A population that sticks together and fights bravely to defend our land. Today, we celebrate a historic day. The people have taken over from the heroic hunger strikers, and we will continue forward with determination and firmness until we achieve the Canary Islands of our dreams," they wrote on social media.
