The PSOE has revealed that the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands has sent a Writ to the Teguise City Council ordering the mayor to identify the person responsible for complying with the judgment of October 31, 2005, which annulled the license corresponding to plot 214 of Costa Teguise, recalling that it could impose coercive fines of up to 1,500 euros "on the authorities, officials or agents who fail to comply with the resolutions of this Court" while warning that criminal responsibilities could be demanded.
The spokesperson for the Insular Executive Committee of the PSOE of Lanzarote and number two of the Socialist Group in the Teguise City Council, Jenifer Galán, has reproached the mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, "for his permanent resistance to comply with judicial resolutions," causing incalculable damage to the municipality with this attitude:
"The only person responsible for the regrettable appearance caused by the skeletons of Costa Teguise is the mayor, who has insisted on keeping alive the mark of urban corruption of Coalición Canaria, despite the damage it causes to the image of the island," she reproached.
In that sense, Galán has recalled the "continuous U-turns" of Oswaldo Betancort: "The mayor has become entangled in a web of lies. He began with the nonsense of the ideas competition to decorate the skeletons, as if they were monuments to corruption that we should preserve; then he promised that he would legalize them with the General Plan; later he got into the populist vein and said that he preferred to pay fines rather than harm the City Council and, finally, he presumed that one of the affected companies had begun to demolish one of the skeletons when the truth is that the company was really cleaning up the area to build a parking lot, also benefiting from a demolition project prepared by the City Council itself."
The socialist spokesperson concluded by reminding Oswaldo Betancort that the time to comply with the judgments is running out: "María Dolores Corujo had to arrive at the Cabildo to put an end to this unbearable inactivity, demanding through the courts that the mayor comply with his obligation to restore legality, putting an end once and for all to that deplorable image that the residents of Costa Teguise and those who visit us endure."
