The Popular Party candidate for mayor of Teguise, Rita Hernández, has joined the criticisms initiated by Laureano Álvarez, candidate of Contigo Teguise + Unido, and has publicly denounced the decision of the current mayor Oswaldo Betancort to hire María del Mar Boronat Mas as an advisor to the City Council. Boranat is number two on the list of the Canarian Coalition in the municipality headed by Olivia Duque.

Rita Hernández has rejected "categorically" the public statements of the mayor regarding the hiring of "a candidate from the CC list as an advisor in the City Council, one month before the elections. And the still municipal official, recognizes that since she has been there for a short time and is unaware of the administration, she is hired to be trained," she added.

“It is regrettable and embarrassing to hear the highest public official of the municipality express himself so cheerfully and in these terms, as if the Teguise City Council were a training center for the political cadres of the Canarian Coalition,” says Rita Hernández, who believes that in politics not everything is reduced to a matter of legality.

For the PP candidate, these statements should not go unnoticed among the electorate. “This type of improper behavior and the recognition of it as something normal, can only be explained from the perspective of politicians who consider the city council and its resources to be a private estate,” Hernández points out.

The Popular Party of Teguise believes that the extravagance of assigning a “political intern in paid practice” as an advisor to a department as important as the Technical Office, portrays the level that the Canarian Coalition proposes to manage the public interests of Teguise.

“While any resident of Teguise, like the common mortals, pays for their training, in Teguise it is the residents who pay for the training of the CC candidates,” they point out from the PP ranks.
