"Mr. President, rest assured that if I were president of the Cabildo I was not going to buy my husband's house, that I would not get into that." These are the words that the councilor of Somos Lanzarote in the Cabildo, Mari Paz Cabrera, addressed to Pedro San Ginés in a plenary session four years ago and that this Friday she repeated on Radio Lanzarote-Onda Cero after, in the Board of Directors of the Tourist Centers held this Thursday, CC and the representative of Asolan agreed to request a report from the legal services regarding the possible cause of incompatibility and abstention of Cabrera herself and Andrés Barreto.
It should be remembered that said Council, which the members of the opposition and the representative of the Works Committee refused to attend, was chaired by Pedro San Ginés in the absence of the Minister of Tourism, in this case due to being on sick leave. San Ginés, who chaired the session, argued that there would be cause for Barreto's incompatibility because he has "direct interest, insofar as he advises and charges for the individual lawsuits filed by a large part of the staff" of the Centers and, regarding Cabrera, he pointed out that she has "emotional ties with the president of the Works Committee, in addition to finding out if it is true that she works in" Barreto's office.
"The thief thinks everyone is of his condition. Since there are people who use this formula, to rig everything, they think we are going to end up doing the same, and I already tell you that we are not," said the councilor of Somos, who believes that "what Pedro San Ginés demonstrates once again with this type of issue is his lack of political argument." "All of us who know him minimally in politics, we already see that when he is desperate he goes on the run. This is another attitude of that neurotic madness on the run," considers Mari Paz Cabrera.
For the councilor of Somos in the Cabildo, "this has been a joke that the president and the councilors who are well instructed by him usually throw to try to cut off the possibility of criticizing the poor management carried out by the management of the CACT." "If this were something serious, if this incompatibility and abstention in the vote had any real basis, I think he should have done it four years ago, because I remind you that Mari Paz Cabrera has been a councilor of the Board of Directors of the Tourist Centers for four years." "Where was this man who now realizes that this could lead to this story?", questioned Cabrera, who insisted that she thinks that "what is irresponsible" is that San Ginés "has waited for him to have a tantrum to make this decision."
"Prevaricating would have been approving that specific modification of La Geria"
Cabrera not only considers the president's attitude "a lack of respect", but also sees it as "worrying". "It is also obvious that the power given by the administrations is abused and that is what I fear," said the councilor of Somos, who believes that the president, with this issue of incompatibility, "attributes powers that are not his." "The one who has to pronounce on this is a judge, and in no case Pedro San Ginés, because what is clear is that this man wants to attribute powers that are not his and is going further and further. Unless this man has become a judge in some supervening faculty, his faculties do not allow him to reach that type of issue," said the councilor of Somos, who nevertheless pointed out that she does not know "to what extent a report can prevent" her from exercising her "right as a councilor."
Mari Paz Cabrera also accused the president of the Cabildo of lying with respect to the reports that, according to him, conclude that both the opposition's proposal to end the CACT conflict and the one that the company offered to the workers would violate the state law of budgetary stability. "The capacity for deception that this person can reach seems unbelievable to me and this is extremely unfair for the citizens, that we have a leader in the administrations who does nothing but lie," she criticized.
"Look, Mr. President, I remind you that prevaricating would have been approving that specific modification of the Special Plan of La Geria with those external à la carte reports that the president had requested. That would have been prevaricating and, as far as I know, one of the few parties that reminded him of it in the plenary session was us. He then did not open his mouth and tried to take all the councilors to the slaughterhouse so that they would prevaricate and approve something that would have been illegal in every way. If I understood that we were prevaricating, in the exercise of responsibility I would avoid it, but it is clear that he is not a responsible person and that he is much less capable for the position he holds," concluded the councilor.
