The Titerroy Neighborhood Association has asked the mayor of Arrecide, Ástrid Pérez, to "reconsider removing the Festivities and Culture councilorships from the socialist Alfredo Mendoza for several snubs" that they claim he has made "to the neighborhood."
"She cannot keep a councilman at any cost," says the group, which had precisely summoned several Arrecife councilors this Monday to a meeting to configure the program of events for the festivities in honor of San José Obrero. To that meeting, the association affirms that "the councilors of Education, Sports and Social Services did attend, but the councilor delegate of Festivities and Culture was missing."
"The councilors present could not believe that the councilor responsible for Festivities was not present at said meeting, since without him nothing can be done," points out the group, which defends that the call "was made in a timely manner since the beginning of December," both by "official and registered writing" as well as "also by WhatsApp" and "by email."
The Titerroy Neighborhood Association affirms that "some of the directors" of the same have felt "very annoyed" after "the snub of the Festivities councilor" this Monday, since "it has made them lose the morning." And it is that it highlights that some had had to "ask for permission at work to be present at said meeting."
Furthermore, until 1:20 p.m., which was when the group sent a statement denouncing the events, it stated that "it had not" received any call from José Alfredo Mendoza or his Councilorship "apologizing" for not attending.
"We citizens are their true bosses"
The Titerroy Neighborhood Association also points out that it has been noticing "the lack of coordination and respect from the Festivities and Culture councilor for several months." And it is that it assures that "it is not the first time" that he has snubbed them. "In the Christmas activities he also left the neighborhood group stranded on several occasions," he points out.
In fact, he points out that "since his inauguration," José Alfredo Mendoza "has not visited the facilities of the neighborhood group." "You come to politics to work, not for a position and a salary," says the Titerroy Neighborhood Association, which considers that "some politicians, as of today, do not know that we citizens are their true bosses."
