The Socialist Group of the Cabildo of Lanzarote has denounced that Oswaldo Betancort has "abandoned" the residents of Valterra houses "at the end of the procedure of transferring the houses to their legitimate owners, after the Cabildo received the donation from the Social Marine Institute."
In this sense, the Socialist Group has presented a motion for the Cabildo to enable "an item to pay the professional fees generated by the collection and custody of the documentation proving the real ownership", a proposal that was debated in the plenary session last Friday and rejected by CC and PP.
The socialist spokesperson and councilor, Ariagona González, pointed out that "after too many years of uncertainty and fear, in the face of the fraudulent attempt by an unscrupulous canning company to appropriate their homes, the families of the well-known Valterra houses have seen how the Government of Spain has managed to frustrate that illegitimate appropriation in order to, subsequently, transfer their homes to the Cabildo of Lanzarote as a prior step to their definitive registration in favor of those who have always been their legitimate owners."
"Throughout this procedure, the families have incurred a series of expenses and we do not understand the government group's insistence on denying them aid at the end of this process, which has been long and exhausting, with the difficulties involved in the long period of time that has elapsed since they accessed those homes and even the death of the people who were initially their owners," González concluded.
