The Canarian Coalition (Spanish: Coalición Canaria, CC) is a regionalist,[6][7]Canarian nationalist,[3] and conservative[2]political party in Spain operating in the Canary Islands. The party aim is for greater autonomy for the islands but not independence.[8] The party has governed the Canary Islands since 1993.


It usually negotiates with the plurality party at the Cortes to form a majority in exchange for resources for the islands. It also governs the local administrations of Tenerife, La Palma, and Fuerteventura, as well as having majority control in most of the town councils on the Canary Islands.

History


The coalition was formed in February 1993 from a grouping of five parties (the largest being the Canarian Independent Groups) under one banner[8] and has governed the Canary Islands since 1993,[2] when it replaced the former Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) administration after a motion of no confidence. After entering government, CC obtained power for the regional government to levy its own taxes and a law compensating the islands for their distance from the mainland.[8] The coalition became a single party in 2005.[2]


The political parties that formed the Coalition were:




  • Canarian Independent Groups (Agrupaciones Independientes de Canarias)


  • Nationalist Canarian Initiative (Iniciativa Canaria Nacionalista)


  • Asamblea Majorera (AM)


  • Canarian Nationalist Party (Partido Nacionalista Canario) (until 2007)


  • Centro Canario Independiente (CCI), predecessor of the Centro Canario (CCN)


  • Agrupación Tinerfeña de Independientes (ATI)

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
