The Finance Councilor of the Teguise City Council, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, has assured this Wednesday that the Consistory has already received the 75,000 euros donated by Livia Veronese for the socio-cultural center of Costa Teguise. According to Jiménez, a short circuit in the area where the bank branch is located prevented the money from arriving on Friday.
Given the controversy generated by this donation, after the PIL questioned it and assured that Veronese was "angry" and had decided to "withdraw" the aid, Jiménez has assured that citizens "have to be laughing a little at the situation", since it is already "fixed".
The councilor has explained that this Italian woman called the City Council on Thursday, "saying that she had already given the order to her bank to make the transfer." "On Friday, in the area where the bank branch is located, there was a short circuit and all the devices went down. I have a report from the branch director that supports that what I say is correct," Jiménez assured. Finally, the transfer arrived this Wednesday morning.
"There has been nothing abnormal. For reasons beyond the will of the lady and the bank, the money could not enter on Monday, as we had expected," said Jiménez, who has defended that Livia Veronese should be "thanked for how well she has behaved with the City Council." "This is the important thing," he pointed out.
Jiménez has also criticized the attitude of the PIL, which denounced that this donation had been "withdrawn". "He wanted to create confusion. The reality is that this lady has fulfilled what the mayor promised," he insisted.
