In this life you can cheat in almost everything. In children's games, in sports, in hobbies? also in public institutions. In any case, these scams are justifiable and significant in proportion to their origins and their consequences. On the other hand, when a mayor has an absolute majority in the town hall, it seems somewhat shameful and absurd to cheat himself? or not, if you can't find the North like Mr. Machín, or if you have lost the North and the north like the Government of the Cabildo of Lanzarote. The macabre thing about this "trapped solitaire game" is that it has us condemned and that the citizens continue to be harmed.
"The copy that was taken to the plenary session was not the corrected one," he says.
Machín admits that the agreement on the CATC fee that he has taken to the plenary session "is possibly erroneous." "Money will not be taken from the debt they owe us," he said, while acknowledging that there has been a reduction of "100,000 euros."
This is unheard of. It is the closest thing to a Cantinflas movie with a Hitchcock ending.
The mayor's request, the development of the plenary debate and the need for the point on the agenda ("agreement of the CACT fee") implied going through the "dry cleaner" the authorization to the mayor to continue mortgaging the future of the residents of Tinajo. For this reason, curling the curl, Mr. Machín, made it clear that he did not intend to give an account of the agreement, nor to approve it, but that he was entrusted to act on it alone and outside the control of the Plenary. Terrifying!
Given such an agreement, exposed as a detriment to Tinajo and that it is not between the Cabildo and the City Council of Tinajo, but between political leaders, there is the possibility that, in addition, regulations contained in the Regulatory Law of Local Treasuries are being breached, with regard to its processing. What was taken to the Plenary was a kind of account of a swap of interests: an unspecified reduction of the fee plus the amnesty of the debt in exchange for indefinite and unprojected infrastructural works.
We will have to see how they will fit this swap without incurring illegalities, both on the part of the Cabildo, for its obligations to redistribute public resources in the municipalities, and on the part of the City Council of Tinajo and its obligation to impose and collect fees for the private use of public goods. Now it only remains to wait for the exhibition of the final agreement in the Consistory of Tinajo, then the neighbors will be able to claim any irregularity.
In conclusion, that "humble" staging of said agreement ("possibly erroneous") certifies the expertise and interest of public officials who have the personal commitment sworn to the representation and defense of the interests and rights of their fellow citizens. It also shows why a mayor, in the development of his position, shields his ignorance of legal regulations and his deficient actions in the absence of technical reports, he does not understand them, and even if he had them, they would not be useful to him either, since he does not read them, some read them and then he interprets them at his convenience, as he acknowledged in the Plenary: "what the agreement says must be given another interpretation." Thus, sadly, the only interpretation that we can deduce from that agreement is that, at least in Tinajo, you can cheat playing solitaire.
