The socialist mayors José Juan Cruz Saavedra, from Tías, Isidro Pérez, from San Bartolomé, and Alfredo Villalba, from Haría, have accused the majority group in the Board of Inalsa of acting "irregularly." The three have protested during the ordinary session held this Friday in which three items on the agenda were approved that corresponded to the Water Consortium and not to the Inalsa Board.
The three socialist mayors, as members of the Board, have pointed out that the points included in the agenda "incur in manifest nullity" because they intend the Inalsa Board to adopt agreements that correspond to the Water Consortium. At the same time, they have insisted that the members of the Board did not receive the necessary documentation, such as the reasoned proposal or the mandatory technical and legal reports, before the meeting was held.
"This way of acting directly contradicts the requirement to provide the minimum essential content to adopt agreements by a public administration," they have criticized in their statements. At the same time, they have described it as "especially serious" that the members of the Inalsa Board, as representatives of different City Councils, cannot have the assistance of their own technical and legal services due to the lack of this documentation.
Among the points on the agenda, the accidental president of the Water Consortium, Miguel Ángel Jiménez Cabrera, proposed to revoke the agreement of the General Assembly that the Consortium carried out on May 24, 2021. At that time, the previous government group of the Cabildo and the conejeros city councils endorsed the procedure initiated by the former nationalist president Pedro San Ginés so that the payment made to Inalsa from the Consortium was considered as a subsidy and not as a loan. The socialist mayors allege that revoking this agreement carried out by the General Assembly of the Water Consortium corresponds "exclusively" to this body. At the same time, they state that the General Board of Inalsa does not have "powers" to make that decision.
Regarding the third point on the agenda, which proposed initiating the file to modify the Statutes of the Water Consortium of 1976 and adapt it to the laws of 2013 on rationalization and sustainability, the three mayors pointed out that this decision also falls to the Consortium and that the documentation provided did not include a motivation or reports that justify it.
