The ordinary control of the port is exercised from the offices of La Luz, but the ordinary management of Beatriz Calzada has turned into a sequence of absences that are perfectly monitored. When cross-referencing the dates of internal processing with her movements and institutional agendas, the map of absences in her office is no longer a bureaucratic secret. Someone in the port structure notes every time the president is not at her workspace and ensures that each of her temporary absences is recorded in the administration’s minutes.
The absence radar of 2025
The beginning of 2025 marked the first alerts of absence in the accounting records with periods of unavailability identified consecutively on January 8, January 16, and January 28, coinciding with the celebration of Fitur in Madrid. This discreet winter activity served as a prelude to the significant deployment the following month. The days of absence detected on February 17 and February 18, coincidentally the holiday of the Seven Founding Saints, evidenced that the president was not present in the port facilities in the days immediately following the Berlin fair Fruit Logistica, despite the event not being formally listed in the public agendas of the management. Just four weeks later, the president again left her desk vacant on March 18 and April 23, consolidating a pattern of permanent physical absence prior to her technical mission in June in Geneva (Switzerland) at the UN working tables. Monday, November 3, the feast of Saint Martin de Porres, coincided with an unusual spike of three recorded displacement alerts on a single day, a pattern of absence that repeated on Friday, November 7, just two weeks before her official appearance in Madrid on November 20 to take possession of the presidency of Cruise Atlantic Islands.
December collapses the port clock
The close of 2025 revealed that the lack of physical presence on the island was completely rampant before the Christmas break. A massive block of seven files signed simultaneously on Monday, December 1, followed by continuous absences on December 12, December 18, and December 19, confirmed that the main floor of Las Palmas emptied in the final stretch of the fiscal year. The offensive of departures and vacancies in the office has become even more aggressive during this 2026 fiscal year, where each milestone of her international public agenda directly overlaps with the latest dates of the administrative system, which again records activity on February 17, February 26, and March 17.
Someone knows when she is not on the island
This bureaucratic sequence fits perfectly with the itinerary of absences that the president has deployed across the globe. The void in February coincides with her official mission in Funchal (Madeira) from February 23 to 26, where she presided over the II Extraordinary Assembly of Cruise Atlantic Islands. Just a few days later, on March 13, Calzada and her director, Francisco Trujillo, were again out of their usual office, this time located in Brazil for a series of business meetings, a departure from the island that would show up in the internal system on March 17.
The rhythm of absences did not stop in spring, placing the president in Miami (United States) from April 15 to 17 for Seatrade Cruise Global 2026, while her delegation operated in parallel in São Paulo on April 16. Barely stepping foot in Gran Canaria, the president chained a new absence in Guatemala on April 20 before the National Port Commission and a subsequent meeting on April 23 with Latin American entrepreneurs. The last two milestones of this tracking place her absences from the island in Brussels on May 19, before the European Union, and finally in Majorca on June 1, presenting the expansion plan for the Marina. The precision of this sequence demonstrates that the activities and the days the president’s office is empty are completely exposed, and that someone knows perfectly well when Beatriz Calzada is not in her place.
