The Socialist Party has reproached the mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, for the allegations that the City Council has presented in the procedure for the execution of the sentence that orders the demolition of the skeleton of plot 214 of Costa Teguise. "He tries to evade compliance with the ruling by relying on an alleged expiration of the sentence and ignoring that respect for legality is fundamental in any democratic society," says the spokesperson for the PSOE Insular Executive and councilor in the Teguise City Council, Jenifer Galán.
"With the sentence expired, or not, that the courts will say, the fundamental thing is that this work does not have a license and, in addition, generates a tremendously negative landscape impact in our main tourist area," insists the socialist councilor.
For Galán, "this is another example of irresponsibility on the part of the mayor," whom she accuses of "relying" on the inaction of his party colleague, Pedro San Ginés, during the years he presided over the Cabildo: "Oswaldo Betancort loves to say 'I didn't do it' and blame others. It is true that Pedro San Ginés did not demand compliance with the sentence, but Oswaldo did not fulfill his obligation to execute it on time and comply with the law," says the councilor.
"The problem lies in the fact that Oswaldo Betancort's inactivity affects the quality of the destination. The mayor shies away from exercising his powers and condemns our municipality to permanently endure a monument to corruption," he adds.
The socialist leader recalled that Betancort "already has his payroll partially seized for failing to comply with sentences" and warned him that "taking into account the judicial history of this case, it would not be surprising if the excuse of expiration falls and we see the mayor again having to give explanations before the justice and facing economic sanctions for his insistence on breaking the law."
Jenifer Galán concluded by defending that the arrival of the socialist María Dolores Corujo to the presidency of the Cabildo "was fundamental for all these procedures to be reactivated, since during the mandate of Pedro San Ginés the Cabildo suffered a suspicious inactivity in the defense of urban legality."
