The Haría City Council Plenary has approved this Thursday the declaration of harmfulness of the La Cueva agreement signed in 2016 between the then president of the Cabildo, Pedro San Ginés, and the former mayor of the municipality, Marci Acuña, with the favorable votes of the councilors themselves from the Canarian Coalition and the Municipal Platform of José Torres Stinga.
In addition, the new government group has approved initiating the file to also declare the harmfulness of the addendum to that agreement, which passed in the Plenary a little over two months ago thanks to the favorable vote of one of the CC councilors, Armando Bonilla, and the abstention of three others.
Precisely one of those councilors, Soraya Brito, who has left the Canarian Coalition group, has reproached what was her party for the lack of coherence with this issue, recalling that the defense of the previous agreement - which they have now declared harmful to the municipality - was the "excuse" to break the pact with the PSOE.
For this declaration of harmfulness, the government of CC and the PMH has taken to the Plenary the same report from the intervening secretary collected by the previous mayor, Alfredo Villalba. In that opinion, the secretary warned that his conclusions referred "strictly and solely" to the initial agreement signed in 2016. "In the event that a modification of the same is approved, through the addendum that has been negotiated with the Cabildo of Lanzarote and that is submitted to the consideration of the Municipal Plenary, the proposal to declare harmfulness will lack object", he warned in his report.
In fact, that harmfulness was not voted on at the time because the addendum had been approved, which had favorable municipal reports. Precisely for this reason, the PSOE has chosen to abstain on this point, while it has voted against the start of the file to declare the harmfulness of that addendum.
In this regard, Villalba has recalled that there is "an open procedure" to judicially homologate that agreement. And it is that although in the first instance it was rejected by the Court, which understood that the interests of the compensation should also be included, the Cabildo has appealed that resolution.
In addition, the socialist spokesperson has described as a "circus" what happened this Thursday in the extraordinary Plenary, in which it has also been approved to request the Court for the full execution of the sentence, without extrajudicial agreements. Something that clashes head-on with what CC had been defending, which in fact was the one who signed the first agreement and who refused to include terms such as "execution of sentence" or "compensation".
"The mayoress has not even spoken in the Plenary", Villalba stressed, pointing out that the one who has intervened has been José Torres Stinga, whose confrontation with San Ginés was what started the La Cueva lawsuit in its day, although now they govern together in the municipality.
