LEP-Sí Podemos accuses San Bartolomé of "despising" the opposition and "appropriating" its measures

“We present initiatives to improve the quality of life in the municipality, but not so that the PSOE can take credit at our expense without even mentioning us,” says the spokesperson for the formation in the City Council, Maite Gorriz

Lanzarote en Pie- Sí Podemos has denounced a "new contempt" from the socialist government group of San Bartolomé towards the opposition and its work, "forgetting once again that the opposition is also part of the institution and represents thousands of neighbors of the municipality.” In addition, it accuses them of "improperly" appropriating their measures.

Specifically, the formation criticizes that the mayor, Alexis Tejera, visited a premises located in the Deiland shopping center that the City Council will cede to the ICHH "after the initiative presented by the entire opposition last November, without naming or thanking the idea and the work of the councilors of the opposition."

And it is that, it assures that the initiative after contacting the ICHH came from the spokesperson of Lanzarote en Pie-Sí Podemos, Maite Gorriz, who considers that the mayor has lost "a great opportunity to remain as a generous manager who recognizes the work of all the people who work to build a better municipality with better services for the citizens.”

According to Gorriz, who criticizes the mayor's "lack of collaboration" with the opposition, "it is not the first time that this selfish and despotic attitude hinders the tasks of legitimate representation that corresponds to the opposition groups." “We are still waiting for the appearances of public officials to whom we have requested explanations for different reasons to be accepted,” he says.

The councilor also affirms that they are also “waiting” for him to comply with the motion approved by the plenary to follow up on the motions of the opposition approved in the plenary on the corporation's website, "which to this day is still used only for the self-promotion of the mayor and the socialist group.”
