Carmen Rosa Pérez, re-elected president of the Local Committee of the PP in Tinajo: "You cannot govern from demagoguery and populism"

The members of the Popular Party of Tinajo have re-elected Carmen Rosa Pérez as president of the Local Committee. The councilor also thanked during the assembly for the support received and reaffirmed her commitment "in the defense of the general interest of the residents of Tinajo." "A municipality that lives its day to day under the way of doing politics of an outdated and decadent nationalism, which is putting the economic future of the City Council itself at serious risk," she warned.

Carmen Rosa Pérez stated that "an institution cannot be governed from demagoguery and populism, because sooner or later the miseries of that irresponsible way of managing public money will begin to emerge, which is precisely what is happening in Tinajo at the moment." "The residents need to know that the economic management of their money, of the public resources of the City Council, has not been correct during the last few years, even finding [certain irregularities as pointed out by the technical reports themselves," criticized the president of the Local Committee of the PP in Tinajo. ->74177]

Carmen Rosa Pérez highlighted that "after increasing year after year, Tinajo will end this year with a debt close to 6 million euros." "What a City Council cannot do is keep invoice after invoice in a drawer, from 2001 to the present day, when we find out that Tinajo, a municipality that does not reach 6,000 inhabitants, has a debt with suppliers of 2.3 million euros. An absolutely exorbitant amount if compared with that of other municipalities that have three times the population and offer many more services," she indicated.

From the ranks of the Popular Party, emphasis was placed on "the seriousness of some of the issues that are pointed out in said report" by the secretary-intervener on the payment to suppliers, which speaks of "prescribed invoices, invoices that are not registered or invoices that do not fit, according to Royal Decree Law 4/2012."

The newly elected local president pointed out that, "no matter how much the mayor dislikes it," the Popular Party "will continue to inform the residents of all these issues." "It is important that we know what is being done with our money and the consequences that it will have in the short and medium term for our future," said Carmen Rosa Pérez.

Within the appointments made in the Assembly, are those of Dolores Rodríguez, as local secretary; Baldomero Cabrera, as deputy secretary of Organization; Carlos Pérez, deputy secretary of Municipal Action; Cristobal Olivero, deputy local secretary of Political Action; Jens Jacobsen, coordinator of Sectoral Policies, and Moreiba Hernández, as coordinator of Youth Action, among others.

Getting out of the "path of decadence"

In her speech, the island president of the Popular Party, Ástrid Pérez, highlighted and thanked the work carried out by the Tinajo team during this last year and a half, since "it has been their effort and dedication that has allowed the Popular Party to obtain very good results in the past general elections and, what is more important, that after eight years, the Popular Party is once again present in the corporation of Tinajo, representing and defending the interest of the citizens." "Time has proven us right and confirms that it has been the best choice," said Ástrid Pérez, in reference to Carmen Rosa Pérez.

"For democratic health, Tinajo cannot continue to be managed with the ways that the municipal government group led by Machín has been imposing in recent years. It is necessary to get out of the path of decadence because this type of policies are absolutely unsustainable," said the island president of the PP.
