The PSOE of Tinajo is once again attacking Jesús Machín, the mayor of the municipality, for his "obstructionist attitude", by preventing him from "adequately developing" his supervisory work from the opposition.

The socialist councilors in the Tinajo City Council assure that the mayor has been "stringing them along for more than a month and without setting an appointment" so that they can see the payments made and the corresponding invoices that justify them.

This is not the first time that they have asked the mayor and the secretary of the institution to see the invoices for 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. After two consecutive plenary sessions, they are still "without any type of response", says Begoña Hernández, socialist spokesperson in the City Council. "Jesús Machín believes that the City Council is a company owned by him," he adds.

The socialist spokesperson considers that, by repeatedly denying the opposition access to municipal information, Jesús Machín "tries to hinder the work of the Socialist Group" and "raises suspicions about the content of the invoices, so that the neighbors cannot realize that he represents the past and that the municipality needs a profound change."

In addition, Begoña Hernández insists that "they are restricting the work of the opposition" and, in turn, points out that it is "the usual way of proceeding of the mayor and the Coalición Canaria group of Tinajo", since, after almost twenty years as mayor, Jesús Machín "believes that the City Council is a company owned by him, instead of what it really is: a Corporation made up of the mayor and the councilors for the administration of the municipality, including the opposition."
