The PSOE group in the Tinajo City Council has denounced that the Coalición Canaria government team, headed by Jesús Machín, "fails to comply with the Public Sector Contract Law by not publishing the list of minor contracts on a quarterly basis in the Contractor Profile."
The spokesperson for the socialist group, Begoña Hernández, explained that her group has been "more than a year" demanding both in writing and through motions and requests in the plenary sessions that Machín "comply with the Contract Law with due transparency to the neighbors of the municipality".
"He has not published a single one of the contracts, neither for works nor for services, corresponding to the year 2020, and even most of those formalized in 2019, when the Law requires it to be done quarterly," Hernández pointed out, while rejecting "the unconvincing excuses of Jesús Machín who tries to justify himself by alleging lack of time."
"It is not a matter of lack of time, it is a matter of lack of transparency, of intentional opacity. Jesús Machín does not want us to know who is benefiting from Tinajo's public money with no criteria other than the mayor's will," Hernández reproached.
The socialist spokesperson has lamented that "the opposition has to continually push the Government to be transparent." "We are here to supervise the management of Jesús Machín and his government, it is our job as an opposition party; but our job is to review the contracts, not to be on top of the mayor so that he complies with the Law and publishes them," he has criticized.
For the socialists, this attitude reveals "lack of transparency" and "little respect for the rights of the residents of Tinajo to know, clearly and precisely, the minor contracts that are made from the Consistory and that are paid with everyone's money."
