The PSOE of Teguise has demanded that the mayor, Oswaldo Betancort, "break with the past and recover the urban legality and dignity that the skeletons of Costa Teguise trampled on, structures resulting from the granting of licenses knowingly granted illegally by the mentor and predecessor of the current mayor", Juan Pedro Hernández.
This was requested by the socialist spokesman, Marcos Bergaz, during the plenary session held this Tuesday, in which "after more than two months since the request of the socialist group, the nationalist Oswaldo Betancort has appeared to explain the judicial warnings to his pocket for not demolishing several urban skeletons whose licenses were declared null by the justice system more than a decade ago".
"It should be remembered that in view of the 'passivity' shown by the current mayor, the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands warned the mayor last January 18 with possible fines of one thousand euros per month charged to his assets, if he does not explain the reasons why the 2007 ruling that decrees the nullity of the license of plot 242-B of Costa Teguise has not been executed", they point out from the party.
During the Plenary, the PSOE has once again stressed that it is "urgent to end the skeletons, being inadmissible the far-fetched excuses that the government headed by Betancort has used, talking about the cost of said demolition or the absence of personnel in the City Council to commission a demolition project that, by the way, was able to hire forced by judicial warnings within a few days, as we made known to public opinion".
"The mayor's flight forward has even led to pointing out that the PSOE is responsible for the scourge of the skeletons, when it is known by all that the previous municipal mayor, Juan Pedro Hernández - from whom Oswaldo Betancort took over - was convicted of knowingly granting several illegal licenses that allowed the construction of skeletons that were paralyzed by the due action of justice", says the socialist leader.
"With the skeletons, what is expensive for Costa Teguise and the citizens is the bad image, the social problem and the loss of competitiveness that they cause in the main tourist town of the municipality, after years of unfulfilled promises and the passivity shown by this government", Bergaz points out.
"Even more so when we all know that if the City Council executes the demolition, there is a legal and moral obligation to then pass the bill to the property or, if necessary, recover what was invested through the execution of the plot on which each of the skeletons sits", concludes the socialist leader.
