"I am going to be prudent to wait until September 5 to see what happens." This is how the Councilor for Festivities, Daniel Morales, has expressed himself after learning that his government colleague, the socialist Lourdes Cabrera, has been called to testify as an accused for an alleged crime of revealing secrets, for allegedly revealing emails from the CC councilor. Morales has been "surprised" that the judge has called Cabrera to testify, since "he finds it hard to believe that this is as the Court says" and that his colleague is behind these events, but he has advanced that if confirmed, this would create "more than an earthquake" in the government group.
Morales recalled that this matter dates back to September 2013, when information was published in some media about some emails that the councilor sent to a private company. All of them had to do with his management in the Festivities area. The information was made public by the president of the Anti-Corruption Alliance, based on a complaint filed in the Courts by a local police officer from Teguise. This same agent had been arrested a few years earlier for perpetrating two robberies.
This police officer filed the complaint, but the Courts dismissed it. It was then that Daniel Morales decided to file a complaint, "in which the Courts were informed of events such as the theft of internal documentation, both personal and emails and internal reports," said Morales, who did not denounce "people", but the events that had occurred.
"It is not an easy situation"
The Court accepted this complaint and began to investigate. Thus, they called several people to testify, including the president of the Anti-Corruption League and the local police officer. Apparently, the agent pointed to Cabrera as responsible for the "filtering" and, finally, this Monday the judge decided to summon the PSOE councilor as an accused for an alleged crime of revealing secrets, considering that she could have used her position to obtain this documentation and provide it to third parties.
If these events allegedly committed by Cabrera were confirmed, it would not only be "a disloyalty and a lack of respect", but it would produce "more than an earthquake" within the government group, made up of CC and PSOE. "I am going to be very prudent. It is not an easy situation, but I will wait until September 5. Being charged is not being judged, but when the judge makes a decision, I will make others and the government group and the mayor will too," Morales warned.
