The PSOE of Arrecife has denounced that the City Council is the municipality with the highest spending per inhabitant on lights in Spain, with an amount of more than 630,000 euros. It should be noted that the PSOE extracts this information from data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which is an independent body used by economists, rating agencies, etc., to measure Spain's various economic variables. They emphasize that "at the PSOE, we are not doing grandmother's math, adding and subtracting, dividing and multiplying Christmas lights by inhabitants. We simply go to the source."
"However, the PP of Arrecife has apparently found a new use for Yonathan de León and his most talkative councilwoman, Eli Merino. Who is demonstrating that her functions are evolving. Long gone is the act of jumping into the puddle dressed, now she returns with her predictions, this time statistical," they point out from the PSOE."And it's that after managing to be a trending topic with his theories about covid and the natural holocaust towards the elderly (nature was sending signals like covid and earthquakes), he has now founded the Merino Institute of Statistics within the Arrecife administration, where national accounting is despised so that the councilwoman and the mayor can do their own numbers," they continue.
From the PSOE they ask for "more restraint in spending, and a bit of common sense." “If the mayor does the numbers with Eli Merino, I can’t imagine what a private business would be like in this man’s hands… let’s hope municipal accounting has a bit more rigor,” states Duque, a PSOE councilwoman.
