"The neighbors were amazed. They cannot explain how no one from the City Council showed up at the Assembly", explains the president of the UCCT, Bernard Gaziello. The meeting, held this Wednesday afternoon at the Hotel Oasis in Costa Teguise, was attended by between 50 and 60 people, according to Gaziello, and uncertainty and disappointment reigned among them. "We don't know how long we're going to last like this," he laments. The president states that they are looking for what to do through legal channels and "even sue the City Council." "The situation is dramatic," he confesses.
From the UCCT they denounce that the services they handed over to the City Council (such as beach cleaning) "are doing very badly." For that reason, "yesterday we revoked the 2002 agreement to hand over all these services to the City Council." "When we were in charge of the beaches, we got the blue flag," a flag that Gaziello now complains that the City Council has lost. "Probably the City Council has no money," he adds.
At the Assembly they also agreed to create a delegated commission to elect a president, although he does not know if he will continue in office "because there are new people." In addition, through a commission, they are studying changing the statutes of the UCCT, "so that the neighbors are stronger."
