The Minister of Health of the Canarian Government, Blas Trujillo, has denied Coalición Canaria, stating in the Parliament of the Canary Islands that Juan Manuel Sosa "has not unduly received any money".
Trujillo responded in this way to the CC parliamentarian David de la Hoz, who asked him about "the undue payments under Article 42 of the Law of Public Function of the Canary Islands of the Minister of Health of the Cabildo of Lanzarote. "No administrative body has indicated that someone is unduly receiving something," said the Minister of Health.
Blas Trujillo has stressed that Sosa is in a situation "of special services by resolution of Public Function that is in force", underlining his condition as a "civil servant". The Minister assures that this condition grants Sosa "the right to receive the perceptions he had been receiving, no more and no less", and that the Canarian Health Service "must pay them".
Trujillo adds that with the current situation, the only thing they can do, until the situation "is reversed", is to "abide by it."
For her part, the president of the Cabildo and also regional parliamentarian, María Dolores Corujo, has stated that the statements of the Minister of Health make it “very clear" that "the Sosa case has never existed.”
Likewise, Corujo has added that Coalición Canaria “is determined to maintain an intolerable campaign of harassment and defamation”, when it maintains that the economic and administrative situation of the minister “is irreproachable.”
