Bruno Ramírez Cubas was officially sworn in as a member of the Canary Nationalist Parliamentary Group on Tuesday, 10 November, following the death of deputy Cristina Calero on 27 October.
The session began with a minute’s silence in memory of Calero, after which Ramírez took his oath and assumed his seat in the chamber.
Born in 1994, Ramírez is a qualified lawyer and tax advisor, holding degrees in Law (2017) and a Master’s in Advocacy (2019) from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. He is also a recognised expert in Digital Competence and has practised law since 2019 at the Illustrious Bar Association of Las Palmas, primarily advising companies, entrepreneurs, and investors on the economic and tax regulations in the Canary Islands.
As the next in line on the Lanzarote electoral list for Coalición Canaria, Ramírez is taking on this new parliamentary role with support from his fellow deputies and party members on the island.
Joel Arbelo, secretary general of the Young Nationalists of Lanzarote, congratulated Ramírez on his new position and expressed mixed feelings, remembering Calero’s legacy. “It is a day of mixed emotions. We are thrilled for Bruno, but we must not forget Cris, who held this seat until now,” Arbelo reflected.
He described Calero as an exceptional individual within the nationalist family, whose dedication and warmth left a lasting impact. “Cris was not just a colleague; she was a beloved person. Her absence will be profoundly felt,” he added.
The Young Nationalists of Lanzarote have expressed their full support for Ramírez, confident that he will honour Calero’s memory while working diligently for the interests of Lanzarote and La Graciosa.
