The Island Council has valued very positively the latest judicial decision that obliges the Yaiza City Council to deliver all the documentation that it had not submitted until now and that had to do with the tourism moratorium. This was explained this Friday by its Councilor for Territorial Policy and the Environment, Carlos Espino, who pointed out that he is "very satisfied" with the importance of the case.
The Second Section of the Administrative Litigation Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) has issued a provision ordering the Consistory chaired by José Francisco Reyes to deliver, within a period not exceeding five days, all the information relating to licenses granted and which the Island Council considers to violate the latest revision of the Island Territorial Planning Plan (PIOT). In addition, it warns that the case will be immediately transferred to the Public Prosecutor's Office if the attitude maintained until now continues.
The Councilor for Territorial Policy considers that what the courts have done is nothing more than "give Yaiza one last chance" to do something that it has refused to do, which is to deliver documentation that has been requested repeatedly and that "could now lead to the opening of a judicial process in the Prosecutor's Office." "We hope that everything goes as it should, that the delivery is made and that from that moment we are all capable of getting the situation back on track," he reiterated.
Carlos Espino clarified, to avoid any type of susceptibility that may be generated every time one of these cases is discussed, that Teguise has already delivered all the documentation related to urban planning licenses. "Some errors were detected when the documentation was delivered and in the end they made the total delivery," he commented.
He also does not understand the determination of José Francisco Reyes and the rest of his government group to make society believe that they are winning all the lawsuits related to the moratorium, when the truth is very different. In fact, to date the Cabildo has only lost the Montaña Roja lawsuit, and it was because the Government of the Canary Islands withdrew the compensation provisions that the First Island Corporation had contemplated.
