Coalición Canaria Lanzarote extends its deepest condolences following the passing of our colleague and friend Juan Antonio de la Hoz, a prominent political and social figure on the island. His career was defined by a commitment to Lanzarote, the defence of democratic values, and his dedication to public service.
A Lasting Impact
Juan Antonio held various roles over the years at the Cabildo of Lanzarote and within the municipality of San Bartolomé, leaving an indelible mark in areas such as education, citizen participation, culture, and the Biosphere Reserve.
A Champion for Rights
He was also a courageous advocate for social rights, environmental protection, and civic responsibilities, always driven by his steadfast belief that politics should serve the people.
Commitment to Canary Identity
Moreover, he was distinguished by his unwavering commitment to Canary identity and nationalism, values he passionately defended throughout his political and personal life. Juan Antonio viewed the defence of the Canary Islands not merely as a political project but as a way of life intrinsically linked to our culture, history, and the future of our people.
Solidarity Beyond Borders
He actively participated in the Canary Association for Solidarity with the Sahrawi People, renowned for his strong advocacy of the right to self-determination for Western Sahara and his ongoing support for just causes beyond our borders.
Expressions of Condolence
On behalf of the entire nationalist family, the Secretary General of Coalición Canaria Lanzarote, Pedro San Ginés, conveys heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
“Today we lose a loyal companion and an indefatigable fighter for Lanzarote. His legacy will live on within our organisation and in the memories of all who shared work, projects, and dreams for this island with him. May he rest in peace,” stated Pedro San Ginés.
Coalición Canaria Lanzarote shares in the grief of his loved ones and pays tribute to the figure of Juan Antonio de la Hoz, who will always be remembered with respect, affection, and gratitude.
