Te General Worker’s Union of Spain (UGT) General Secretary, Gustavo Santana, has said that the union’s appeal calls for the paralysis of the privatization of the casinos of Tenerife, managed by public companies that generate "millionaire benefits."
Santana described the move by the council as "intolerable" and as an attempt to grab a resource that brings benefits for all those living on the island and "give it away" to speculators. "Te legal services of the UGT are working to stop a genuine theft of the patrimony of the citizens of this island," said Santana, who said that the union had already appealed to the government but had not received a satisfactory response.
In a statement, the UGT condemned the Canary Coalition and the President of the Council Carlos Alonso, and strongly denounced the PSOE (Te Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) arguing that it was “shameful" that the socialist group in the council had acted “as the accomplice of the right in this matter, which puts hundreds of jobs at risk."

Alonso explained that the casino sell off was a way to boost tourism on the island. Potential operators have been given until November 8th to decide if they wish to take part in the process. Despite the fact that the casinos are still profitable Alonso defended the sale as he said that it was an “anomaly” that there are still state owned casinos in Spain.
