The Socialist Party of Lanzarote criticizes the "unacceptable opacity of the current government group of the Cabildo" in relation to the "concealment", for more than six months, of the ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) that confirms the impossibility of granting an opening license to the Rubicón Palace Hotel, in Playa Blanca, whose building license has been annulled. "It is an issue that is of particular interest to the public opinion of the island", the socialists point out.
It was in August 2005, under the accidental presidency of Manuel Fajardo Palarea and with Carlos Espino at the head of the Territorial Policy and Environment area, when the Cabildo denied the tourist opening license of the establishment, which was then in full litigation over the alleged illegality of the procedures for its construction.
The decision of Fajardo and the subsequent opposition of the president of Coalición Canaria, Inés Rojas, generated in those days "moments of serious tension in the CC-PSOE government pact", the political formation points out. "It must be remembered that Coalición Canaria, already then but still today, prefers to ignore this serious problem that some unscrupulous people have generated on our island and look the other way", says the island secretary of the PSOE in Lanzarote, Carlos Espino.
Five years later, the TSJC has rejected the hotel's appeal demanding the permit, arguing that "hotels with an annulled license lack legal coverage." "The argument of the TSJC reinforces the socialist theses, which have always defended that this establishment, like the rest that have seen their licenses annulled, have been built in fraud of law and the annulments have occurred for reasons much more serious than the absence of a piece of paper in the file", adds Espino.
