Argana Centro closes its doors after receiving the notification from Antonio Hernández

Around noon this Wednesday, Eduardo Spínola's shopping center, located in the Argana Baja neighborhood, has closed its doors after the property received notification of the closure decree of the center, signed first thing in the morning by the Councilor for Urban Planning of Arrecife, Antonio Hernández.

The property has placed fences at the entrances to the shopping center's parking lot to prevent the entry of customers, just five days after it first opened its doors, last Friday afternoon, without having the corresponding first occupancy license that the City Council of the capital had finally not granted, after having detected irregularities in several of the premises that the shopping center has.

With this closure measure, the impoundment file of Argana Centro is avoided, which the Councilor for Urban Planning, Antonio Hernández, was willing to open if on Thursday the property of the center had not heeded the closure decree.

Thus, the predictions of the mayor of Arrecife, Enrique Pérez Parrilla, are not fulfilled, who this Tuesday declared to the media that the opening of a business in the absence of the first occupancy license was done frequently and did not believe that the fact that Argana Centro opened its doors last Friday, had to lead to a closure decree by the City Council.

The Councilor for Urban Planning, Antonio Hernández, spoke this Wednesday about it, opining that "the duty of a mayor, if he has knowledge that there is an activity without a license, is to close it" and affirms that his decision to sign the closure decree comes from the "two complaints received in the Municipal Police" when the business opened to the public, two complaints that led him "to act because it is my duty", concludes Antonio Hernández.
