The spokesperson for the Canarian Coalition-PNC Group in the Tías City Council, Amado Vizcaíno, has demanded that the mayor of Tías, José Juan Cruz, explain "the reason why he has decided to change the locks of the headquarters of a municipal association without prior notice to its members."
“We are facing a very serious event that may even be bordering on the limits of legality by producing a trespassing of a headquarters and preventing access to it
to its corresponding and legitimate occupants, as well as to the personal effects that may be found inside,” he says.
Vizcaíno states that, according to what they have been able to find out in CC, "supposedly the Tías City Council proceeded to change the entrance lock of a warehouse of a cultural association in the municipality last Thursday, August 19, preventing access to its representatives from that moment on."
"According to what we know, the association has contacted the City Council to find out the reasons, but so far there has been no official response beyond that they will make them known. Likewise, they have told us that they have not allowed access to the municipal headquarters of its members, ignoring the requirements of its members who keep their belongings in this building," adds the CC spokesperson in the Tías City Council.
For Vizcaíno, “this government group that calls itself progressive does not understand that it cannot act in a totalitarian way by evicting cultural headquarters, or simply changing the access lock to it, but respecting the procedures in force in this country.”
In addition, the nationalist spokesperson in the Tías City Council also recalls that “the mayor is ultimately responsible for all actions that take place in the municipality." Therefore, he asks him "to change his ways of acting because in this case he is crossing limits that should not be allowed." "These actions could even be considered a crime and it is not valid to pass the buck by blaming third parties or claiming ignorance before the law,” he points out.
Amado Vizcaíno has been forceful in recommending to the mayor of Tías that “he focus on managing the municipality instead of being aware of whether he can continue as mayor until the end of the legislature.”
The CC-PNC councilor in Tías has also announced that he will request "officially" all the information about this action "to know exactly from where the order to change the lock comes from, since there are suspicions that the intention is none other than to take this space away from the affected association to give it to another."
