CC has denounced that "the president of the Cabildo refuses to hold the extraordinary plenary session on the agreement of the San Ginés festivities requested by the opposition", also accusing María Dolores Corujo of "hiding" the head of Cabinet of her Presidency, Carlos Espino, "when it is time to give explanations about the very high responsibilities that she delegates to him."
"The socialist María Dolores Corujo, has not had the slightest hesitation in appointing the person charged with corruption and removed from membership of his party, Carlos Espino, as Head of Cabinet of her Presidency - to whom she also delegated, among other responsibilities, that of being the highest responsible of the Cabildo in the agreement signed with the Arrecife City Council to finance part of the San Ginés festivities? but, nevertheless, she refuses to let him respond in the plenary session about the responsibilities that she herself delegates to him", the nationalists point out.
In this regard, the deputy spokesperson for CC, Pedro San Ginés, states that "one of the arguments given by the president to justify the rejection of holding the plenary session in the terms proposed" is that "Carlos Espino does not meet the requirements established in the regulations for his obligatory appearance". "An argument that we do not share and with which it is intended to justify the unjustifiable", he criticizes.
San Ginés understands that Espino has the obligation to appear
"Contrary to what has been pointed out from the Presidency, we understand that the specific circumstances contemplated in the regulations do exist for the aforementioned appearance to take place, to the extent that it is in the article of the regulations itself (to which the government alludes), that is, art. 110.1, which literally says that every member of the Corporation who, by virtue of their own or delegated powers, holds any specific responsibility of the corporation has the obligation to appear", San Ginés emphasizes.
In this way, the deputy spokesperson for the nationalists reminds Corujo "not to forget that Carlos Espino, head of the Presidency Cabinet, holds precisely the highest specific responsibility as the person in charge of monitoring, surveillance and control of the execution of the agreement that, supposedly, protects the expenses that are subject to doubt and treatment in the extraordinary plenary session requested". "And what is even clearer, he holds said responsibility because the president delegated it to him in the agreement itself, as conditioned by the regulations", he adds.
However, San Ginés points out, "one thing is the interpretation that the president may make about the obligatory nature of Carlos Espino to appear, and another is the lack of willingness of both of them to do so, since nothing prevents it, unless they practice just the opposite of what they preach in terms of transparency."
For CC, "it is necessary that the highest responsible of the Cabildo in this agreement, because that is what the president decided, clears up the many doubts that the entire opposition has both in the Cabildo and in the Arrecife City Council about this agreement, among others who will assume the cost of light and sound that is the main thing of the festivities, the reason for certain artist fees with apparent exaggerated overcosts, or whether it is a subsidy, as the mayor Astrid Pérez says, or a loan, as the president María Dolores Corujo assures, among others."
