The competent body reports that there is no legal objection to its activity, confirming the 2011 report
This morning, the assistant spokesperson of MC Cartagena, Isabel García, and the president of the formation, Jesús Giménez, have appeared, at the Town Hall, to make known the motion for a resolution issued by the General Secretariat of the Plenary on the file of Mayor José López's compatibility, confirming that his commercial activity is "categorically compatible" with his function as public representative.
In this sense, Garcia explained that "we come to realize a new milestone in the political persecution of which José López is a victim and all of us who form MC Cartagena."
Campaign orchestrated by PP and PSOE in response to their corruption plots
The mayor of Cartagena has valued that it is a campaign orchestrated by PP and PSOE for years, "specifically since we uncovered their corrupt plots and offered citizens a way to make decent and clean politics."
As examples of this persecution, Garcia recalled that Lopez has endured complaints to say that Alonso and Barreiro were corrupt and that MC had to leave the Government because Castejón violated the Law and the Constitution.
"Regarding the issue that brings us here today," continued the deputy spokesperson for MC, "this is the defamation initiated by the PP and seconded by the PSOE when we discovered that they justified the money they receive from the City Council for operating expenses of their respective municipal groups, meals for a thousand people or invoices of works in the toilets of their headquarters ".
Unable to attack MC for its management
Emphasizing this issue, Isabel García has estimated that the aforementioned defamation campaign is due to her "inability to attack us because of our management, because any comparison leaves them bad or worse, so they have tried to equate us with them in corruption. that there are decent people in politics and they attack the honesty and integrity of José López and, as always, they get frog. "
Finally, he recalled that the mayor tried, on two occasions, to bring this matter to the Plenary without reports.
"We all knew why, now the competent body has said it, it is categorically compatible, and we hope that it will now take it to the next plenary session with the same speed."
PP and PSOE continue without providing a single test about the alleged incompatibility
For his part, Jesús Giménez stressed that "after a year of waiting, we finally have a conclusive report confirming that since 2011 José López has recognized the compatibility of his private activity".
The report also explains that there is no legal or material reason to doubt the absolute dedication Lopez has had in his public service.
Thus, the president of MC has remarked that "is dismantled, in addition, the unfounded accusations contained in the report of the Legal Department issued earlier this year and exposes that neither PP nor PSOE, despite its many press releases and comments in the media, they have proven nothing of what they say about the alleged incompatibility. "
"We are in the same situation again, suffering from defamation and political persecution, as always, it is proven that José López acted according to the law and it is false that there is no reason to return his salary because his private activity has always been fully justified." Giménez has finished.
