The president of the Cabildo, María Dolores Corujo, has expelled the deputy spokesperson for the Canarian Coalition, Pedro San Ginés, from the Plenary session being held this Monday. "I invite you to leave the room," she told the former president, after warning him on three occasions that he should remain silent because he did not have the floor.
The tension has erupted during the interpellation requested by CC for the government group to give explanations about its intention to remove Jason DeCaires Taylor's horses from their current location next to the Castillo de San José. In her speech, Corujo explained the chronology surrounding the installation of these sculptures, which were placed under San Ginés' mandate without a technical report justifying it and before even taking the issue to the Board of Directors.
In addition, when the sculptures were first placed on the esplanade of the Castle, they did not even have permission from the Port Authority, and when that authorization was finally requested, a Heritage report was provided clarifying that this permit could only be granted because they were working on a temporary exhibition of a few months. However, CC then took a proposal to the Board of Directors of the Centers to buy those horses and another, which was the one that was finally approved, to keep them as a "transfer" for ten years, for which it paid 15,000 euros.
After exhausting the two rounds of intervention that corresponded to him and when the president had already announced that she was moving on to the next item on the agenda, Pedro San Ginés continued speaking, which led to a first warning from the president, who even reminded him that if she had to warn him a second time he could be expelled. "You have to warn me three times," the former president continued to question.
That's when the second warning arrived, to which San Ginés continued speaking and ended up being "invited" to leave the session. "I decline the invitation", the deputy spokesperson for CC initially responded, who finally ended up leaving the room after a new request from the president.
