The Arrecife City Council has agreed to finally establish the commission of inquiry into the so-called "Ginory case", after Coalition Canaria demanded it in the pre-plenary session this Friday, December 17, before the initiative presented by the PSOE.
The government group has decided that the councilor of Nueva Canarias, Armando Santana, will be the president of this Commission, seeking the figure of a councilor "whose formation never had government responsibilities in this time".
The Commission of Inquiry will have the mission of elevating to the plenary session "a proposal referring to everything related to this file", making available to it "the legal, technical and economic means necessary to carry out its work".
In this regard, Santana, who in case of absence will be relieved by the councilor Elizabeth Merino, explained that "the commission of inquiry will have the objective of analyzing the historical course of the situation of the Ginory plot to know how we have arrived here." "A commission of inquiry must always be impartial, neutral and transparent, since its function is to obtain the most and best information about the event that occurred", the councilor pointed out.
From the Arrecife City Council they recall the situation in which the Ginory plot file is located, which they assure began its journey "in the 80s, when the City Council occupied a plot that was not its own, under the mandate of the PSOE." Subsequently, they detail from the capital Consistory that "in the year 96, under a mandate of the PIL, the Arrecife City Council made its last modification of the General Plan in force and included this plot as a green area." In addition, they point out that there was a sentence in 2003, "where the court declared that consolidated urban land, which forced the City Council to a forced expropriation."
On the other hand, from Coalición Canaria they remember that in 2006 the property claimed that "forced expropriation". There is a first resolution that "assesses a fair price of more than 31 million euros", which was "annulled in 2016", under the management of Manuel Fajardo Feo, "without annulling the reassessment that set it at 20 million euros",-and that was not appealed by the City Council that at that time was presided over by the popular Cándido Reguera- that with the passage of time "has been adding default interest to the principal".
After the decision adopted this Friday, the mayor of Arrecife, Astrid Pérez, explained that "the agreement reached with the rest of the partners of the government group, clearly demonstrates that our intention has always been to resolve this issue with the utmost transparency because, simply, we have nothing to hide." Pérez stressed this issue recalling that "the origin of this problem arises almost 40 years ago by an erroneous and irresponsible decision of the PSOE that was the party that governed then in Arrecife and those powders have brought these muds."
