The Socialist Group of Tinajo has registered a document in the Town Hall requesting that all information relating to the debt contracted with part of the Corporation's workers, with details of the affected areas and departments, be provided to them.
The socialists of Tinajo react in this way after learning through the media that the Council, chaired by Jesús Machín, maintains debts with some of its workers, who have been claiming their amount for months. The PSC spokesman in the municipality and senator for Lanzarote, Marcos Hernández, wants to know if this type of anomaly really occurs in a Town Hall that boasts of efficiency and correctness.
Apparently, part of those affected are members of the Local Police force of Tinajo, eight agents who, after passing the probationary period and becoming part of the civil service, have not enjoyed any change in their salary, which still corresponds to a training contract. The total amount owed by the Town Hall to the eight officers could be around 24,000 euros.
According to the socialists, despite the repeated claims of the police, the mayor has turned a deaf ear, after promising that he would include an item for the agents in the 2007 budgets, which he has not done. "We wonder what end will be given to the 500 million credit requested by the Council, if the debt contracted with its own workers is not going to be paid. Will it be to maintain the carpetovetonic electoral strategies of patching up private roads, two days before the Elections?", asks Marcos Hernández.
