The mayor of the Arrecife City Council and councilor of the Local Police, Cándido Reguera, has responded to the accusations of the PSOE and has "categorically" denied that the capital's Consistory fails to comply with municipal regulations regarding the removal of vehicles from the municipal junkyard. "I categorically deny that there is any privileged treatment regarding the removal of vehicles from the junkyard. In fact, I remember that this same action has also been carried out with the vehicles of the councilors of the Socialist Group," the mayor said in a statement.
Reguera affirms that the City Council applies "rigorously" the Fiscal Ordinance Regulating Fees for the Provision of Vehicle Removal and Deposit Services and, in this sense, points out that in article 8 of this ordinance, "the mayor is authorized to remove a car from the junkyard without prejudice to its subsequent settlement of fees".
In this sense, he recalls that the article establishes that "vehicles may not be removed from municipal warehouses without first having paid the amount of the corresponding rights, except in cases where the competent municipal authority? accrediting reasons of general or social interest, assignment of vehicles to municipal services or companies, or to an administration, or to their assignment to public services of general interest, in the exercise thereof, orders differently according to the specific circumstances of each case, or by the municipal or governmental authorities orders the delivery of the vehicle?".
In relation to the vehicle of the vice president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and insular president of the PP, Astrid Pérez, whom the PSOE accuses of having circulated "through a section closed to traffic" and parked "in a restricted area for the disabled", the mayor of Arrecife explains that Pérez was attending an official event, the burial of the sardine, and that she had "the approval, knowledge and authorization of the Local Police officers who regulated the area".
"Complying with municipal regulations, I authorized the removal of the Cabildo vice president's vehicle from the municipal junkyard, without this exempting her from paying the corresponding fee," Reguera assures.
