Political reactions to the alleged [assault by the Councilor for Fisheries, Marcos Páez, on a Cabildo official->11515] continue. The request for dismissal from the Socialist Party has been joined by that of the Popular Party, which considers it "intolerable that a person holding public office is involved in such an unpleasant and violent matter as the one in which he has allegedly been involved." Meanwhile, the PIL describes the incident as "moral baseness" and "hopes that citizens will regain sanity in our institutions next May."
The Popular Party understands that these cases are more serious when "the facts affect a public official and an employee of the institution" and although it "does not go into the details", it considers it "totally inadmissible that a public representative can participate in and star in an act of this type."
For its part, the Party of Independents for Lanzarote includes the episode in "the moral baseness that the island's public life is reaching." In its press release, it assures that it was an "expected result", although "not desired". "Disauthorizing a complaint from an official in the performance of his duty in defense of the environment, has its consequences: "That some believe they are above the law"", the PIL statement reads:
The insular party highlights in its note the "loss of confidence in the political class and in the bodies in charge of doing justice" and, in this regard, anticipates that "CC and the president of the Cabildo will surely get some of their acolytes in Tenerife to exonerate the councilor of the alleged assault again".
