A member of the Independent Party of Lanzarote (PIL) reported on Wednesday afternoon at the National Police Station the procedure by which one attends the extraordinary congress of December 3 as a delegate.
This is Carmelo Corujo, a member of the party who, according to his complaint, went to the headquarters "in order to deliver twenty-five registrations for Party Delegate of members who could not appear for personal reasons." However, according to the report, two of those in charge of coordinating the attendance procedure, "Yolanda Cabrera and Jesús Iván Rodríguez", "refused to collect their applications, stating that the interested persons had to be present at the place."
According to the complainant, "it did not say anything about it" and after "insisting" that "they could not deny him that right, the people in charge of collecting the applications ignored his statements, denying him the applications."
In addition, he alleged that another member, "María Dolores Corujo", did "submit her application and those of other people who were not at the place."
Regarding this complaint, Laureano Álvarez has spoken this Thursday, who explained on Radio-Lanzarote Onda Cero, that taking this fact to the courts, "it will be recorded and a procedure will begin on how the fundamental rights of the members have been violated and how there is a dark hand behind this."
In this context, he added that "one thing is that they did not want to validate them but they have directly refused to collect them." An attitude that he describes as "the height of the heights" within a procedure that, in his opinion, "has been done with malice aforethought towards the Congress". According to Álvarez in the interview, it is "a Congress made to measure so that they have no opposition. They have been working on this issue for a few months, opening files to people like in my case and that of other colleagues, to get rid of any kind of competition."
It should be remembered that Álvarez was disciplined and expelled from Ramón Bermúdez's party, although he does not recognize this decision, which he has once again described as "irregular and illegal", nor the current leadership of the party.
"We have been silent for a year and a half enduring the circumstances of this gentleman - referring to Ramón Bermúdez - and his colleagues, but it is the last straw that we are denied the simple right to attend the Congress," he concluded.
