The Popular Party councilor in the Teguise City Council, Jonás Álvarez, "has demanded that Mayor Oswaldo Betancort put the same interest and effort into the execution of pending projects as he puts into taking the photographic tour to promote himself with works that then do not start."
Álvarez regrets that the municipality's projects are only mere advertising showcases for the mayor and his government group who "take advantage of these spaces for self-promotion but without any subsequent follow-up to guarantee their development.""You only have to look at the works that Oswaldo Betancort has never tired of promising, announcing and selling over and over again, such as the Costa Teguise football field, the star project for this term, and which is paralyzed a month after presenting it to the residents," says Álvarez.
"In May, the contract with the company was sold, and it was said that work would begin before the summer, in June the start of the works was announced, in October the project was presented to the residents and today, in November, we have not yet seen any movement on the plot."
"A year later, all we have of the Costa Teguise football field is the mayor's propaganda album," denounces the PP councilor, who recalls that the same thing has happened with the Inocencia Páez sociocultural center in La Graciosa, which has been awaited since the previous term.
"It is a work in which not a single block has been moved despite the fact that it has been tendered twice and although we have reiterated our complaint, we have not heard the Mayor say what solution he proposes for facilities that are absolutely necessary for the residents of La Graciosa, who currently lack a place for meeting and for the development of events," says Jonás Álvarez, who also states the number of times the government had to be insisted on to repair the fence.
Álvarez acknowledges that he fears that the football field project will end up like the La Graciosa sociocultural center, completely stagnant and with no signs of execution. "In the end, the residents see nothing more than propaganda posters from all these projects, but absolutely nothing of what the mayor promised."
