According to the order issued by the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the TSJC on September 19, the Yaiza City Council has five days to identify the administrative body in charge of complying with the Order issued by the same Chamber on March 15, 2007. That order ordered the forced execution of a previous sentence that obliges the Yaiza City Council to notify the Lanzarote Cabildo of all urban planning licenses granted by said City Council in the tourist town of Playa Blanca.
But as of today, six months after that Order of March 15, the City Council has not complied with the judicial mandate, so the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands urges the southern Consistory to comply with the forced execution measures in seven days and if it does not do so, it will apply article 112 of the Law, which stipulates the initiation of criminal measures for the crime of disobedience and the imposition of fines for failing to comply with the mandate of the High Court. The Court will send the request to the Arrecife Court so that the City Council Secretary can deliver it personally to the Mayor of Yaiza.
The first time that the Yaiza City Council was convicted for not informing the Cabildo of the licenses it granted was two years ago, by a ruling of the Superior Court of Justice, but the Consistory still does not heed that obligation. Several of the most significant cases in which the institution governed by José Francisco Reyes has decided to hide the licenses it granted from the Cabildo have come to light, such as the permits granted in the Playa Blanca Partial Plan to his party colleague Pedro de Armas to build 10 homes and the license to build a "town" with more than 1,000 homes on the Cortijo de Costa Roja plot. Precisely this week, José Francisco Reyes, the City Council secretary and the head of the Technical Office have had to testify as defendants for an alleged crime of urban planning prevarication in the granting of the license for the 1,000 homes.
