In Fuerteventura, political tension has emerged regarding the management of coastal and maritime infrastructure. The PSOE party has criticized the Canary Islands government and the Spanish state for the “stagnation” of coastal management, citing a jurisdictional dispute between local and national authorities that is reportedly paralyzing essential projects such as the Tarajalejo promenade.

Further developments in the region involve efforts to restore maritime connectivity. Following economic pressure from the island's government and Chamber of Commerce—driven by reports that the loss of direct routes increased transport costs by 70% to 78%—the Directorate General of the Merchant Marine is accelerating the bidding process for a public service maritime line that includes a stop in Fuerteventura.
