The Nationalist Group in the Arrecife City Council has requested the appearance, in the ordinary plenary session this October, of the PSOE councilors Cristina Duque and Alfredo Mendoza to explain “the reasons for their non-attendance at the last Local Government Board, where the decision on various issues of vital importance to the city was at stake.”
“This is a totally irresponsible attitude, which is already becoming the usual tone of the government partners of the PP mayor, Ástrid Pérez,” say from Coalición Canaria.
The councilors of the Nationalist Group criticize that the PSOE “has already made it a habit to fail to comply with its obligations in this important decision-making body, causing legal uncertainty both to those interested and to the City Council itself and recovering old practices that have brought nothing good to our city.”
The spokesperson for Coalición Canaria in the City Council, Echedey Eugenio, recalls that in the past, when the Presidency of the Corporation was the responsibility of Eva de Anta: “we already saw how the granting or denial of certain licenses and authorizations was unjustifiably delayed without a justified cause, which has caused the City Council to be immersed again in judicial situations that we citizens will end up paying for.”
Echedey Eugenio adds that this is “the third time, to our knowledge, that the councilors of the Socialist Party have tried to hinder the completion of certain municipal administrative procedures that result in terrible legal uncertainty as well as in endless lawsuits against the Administration.”
“It is curious that they intend to paralyze some projects without a report to support it and for others the hand is raised without questioning them”, says the spokesperson.
From Coalición Canaria they point out that “this lack of respect from the socialists towards the citizens with their non-attendance to a body as important as the Government Board” adds “to the occasions in which they have proposed leaving on the table, to end up abstaining, the license of the Shopping Center located in the old Garavilla factory, or the 'conditional' vote nonexistent in the law with which they spoke with respect to the Oriental hotel.”
“It cannot be that the interests of political parties jeopardize the legal security of the institution and we want them to explain all these circumstances to us in the Plenary Session”, asserts Eugenio.
