The hiring of Boronat by the Teguise City Council is a "manifest illegality" as it was carried out with a "false cause and using public funds" to finance the training of a candidate from the Canarian Coalition, which presents obvious "grounds for annulment." This is the conclusion reached by Contigo Teguise after analyzing the file, they inform. Given the seriousness of these events, the party presented on the morning of last Monday, May 15, a "motion for reconsideration" so that the contract of the number two of the Canarian Coalition, Mrs. Boronat, "is revoked and the amounts collected to date are returned," they clarify.
"We hope that the Teguise City Council acts responsibly and we avoid going through criminal proceedings," warns Laureano Álvarez, candidate of Contigo Teguise for mayor.
In the aforementioned writing, the party emphasizes that "if the hiring of personnel to advise Oswaldo Betancort just weeks before the local elections and in the middle of the election campaign is surprising, even more strange is said hiring taking into account that Mrs. María del Mar Boronat lacks experience, being included as number two on the list of the Canarian Coalition to the Teguise City Council, in what constitutes a use of public funds for partisan use," he adds. Taking into account that Boronat has access to the "paid leave" charged to the Teguise City Council during the entire election campaign period. "She campaigns and the neighbors pay her salary," they emphasize.
The scandal of this hiring has reached "maximum seriousness" upon publicly confirming that the reason for her hiring is "a false cause" as publicly acknowledged by both the current mayor, Oswaldo Betancort, and the candidate of the Canarian Coalition for mayor, Olivia Duque. They have publicly confessed that "the person hired, in reality, is not going to develop the function of "technical coordinator of the technical office" but that the appointment has been made so that she can "familiarize herself" with the city council as a councilor, as we have heard in local media from both, Betancort and Duque," he points out.
"We request the return of the money improperly collected by the plugged-in councilor"
Therefore, Contigo Teguise has requested the "revocation of the appointment" as well as the "return of the money improperly collected by the plugged-in councilor", they indicate.
