The PP of Yaiza rejects the political confrontation over the General Plan and demands responsibility

The spokesperson for the Popular Party in the Yaiza City Council, Juan Monzón, has shown his rejection of the open partisan war after confirming the total and definitive annulment of the Yaiza General Plan by the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands.

"The legal uncertainty generated by the lack of clear and updated regulations, the delay in projected public infrastructures and services, and the possible paralysis of new urban planning licenses will have a negative impact on investment and, consequently, will end up negatively affecting the economic development of the municipality of Yaiza, and that is what we should all focus on," he defended during the plenary session.

Monzón has been emphatic in pointing out the "embarrassment of the residents" of the municipality "to see how now some throw things at each other in a crossfire of press releases when the reality is that all those who are now fighting are responsible or co-responsible for that plan because they were all together then, or separated, but in the same place: the local government."

In addition, the PP has reproached the mayor for not having "even a hint of self-criticism", as a member of the government of former mayor Gladys Acuña, under whose mandate the plan was approved, as well as for his "lack of management and diligence during the last two and a half years when it was more than obvious that the plan was going to end up being annulled."

"Despite the requests we have made from the opposition, the mayor has been letting time pass to the point that the drafting of the new document was awarded just a month or two ago," Juan Monzón denounced. "The reality is that very valuable time has been lost and now the residents will have to pay for this negligent way of acting by the government, and that is really what worries us, the paralysis to which the municipality can be dragged by returning to a planning system from fifty years ago."

In this sense, the PP spokesperson took advantage of the plenary session to question the mayor about the date on which the City Council issued the licenses for the Government of the Canary Islands to build the hundred social housing units planned in Playa Blanca and which, according to Oscar Noda, will not be affected by the Court's decision.

"We are concerned about the future of these homes, such as those that should go on the land that the Cabildo has bought in Uga, we are concerned about the future IES of Playa Blanca, the Municipal Library or the Family Respite Center announced by the Government in the municipal budgets, among many other infrastructures," Juan Monzón acknowledged, for whom "there are still many explanations to give" by Oscar Noda.

"We have a situation of great uncertainty ahead of us that requires leadership that the mayor has not been able to have, but also a broad vision from all the members of the corporation. From the PP we will continue to act with responsibility and honesty, always in defense of the general interest of the residents, as we have always done," Monzón reaffirmed.
