In the afternoon of today, a meeting of the MC Executive Committee has taken place to evaluate the latest developments regarding the current local political situation.
Subsequently, the president and spokesman of MC, Jesús Giménez, has attended, in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the media in the presence of the MC general secretary, José López;
The vice president, Isabel García;
The Secretary of Organization, Angel Tarifa;
Deputy Secretary-General, Juan Pedro García, and Executive Advisor, Ricardo Segado.
Regarding the complaint filed by the PP against the five councilors of MC and the president, Jesús Giménez, for the acquisition by the City of Cartagena of Hotel Peninsular for the extension of administrative units, it is necessary to remember that the current team Of Government finalized at the end of last year the expropriation file of the mentioned building, that was initiated in 2006 by the Government of the PP when being considered administrative equipment.
Before the media, the president of MC has explained that the Executive has been informed about the new scenario created by the events that occurred yesterday, following the press release of the municipal group that supports the changeover in the Mayor's Office (Cartagena Yes He can), "requesting the resignation of the mayor".
"The Executive has ratified the work of the municipal group of MC and the mayor, José López," revealed Jesús Giménez, while wishing that "the document (of relief in the Mayor's Office), agreed and respected in its entirety, Contemplating that all the agreements are in force, taking into account the circumstances to date ".
Gimenez stressed that the text should include "that does not affect this investigation, unjust and mendacious."
"It is a persecution that has just begun and that will continue to be so and it will not be only José López the affected one."
"This is a general cause against MC and not a complaint against an administrative order," warned the president of the formation cartagenerista.
Throughout the meeting of the MC Executive has been read the content of the complaint and the self "we have considered should be appealed against certain fallacies," such as the fact that at that time (acquisition of The property of Hotel Peninsular) "the mayor will hold the skills of Urbanism".
Giménez has dismantled this thesis arguing that "it is not so," in addition to being "a process handled by house officers, not MC councilors."
Among the fallacies detected, Jesús Giménez has indicated that the complaint was filed against the five councilors of MC.
However, the president of MC has reported that the agreements of the Governing Board include three councilors of MC and other so many of the PSOE, reason why the denunciation should be excluded at least two Carthaginist councilors (Isabel García and María José Soler ).
"This fact can already constitute in itself a defamation," said Giménez.
Likewise, the complaint does not specify "what type of crimes are attributed," in addition to avoiding a criticism of the work of municipal officials, something that MC "we reprove."
"We want to draw attention to the falsification of minutes, manipulated reports and we want to reaffirm MC's confidence that the officials did their job well."
The president of MC has deepened in other weaknesses of the complaint, which does not take into account that "the mayor is not councilor of Urbanism and Infrastructures.The Law of Large Cities indicates that the mayor holds the political direction of the municipality and representation , While the powers of Urbanism and Infrastructure have delegated to the directors of both areas.
"It has not had competences in Urbanism nor does it have them today", has ruled the Cartagenerista leader.
Lastly, in relation to the post in the Mayor's Office, Jesús Giménez stated that "as soon as this addendum is added" (to the document that ensures the change), "the mayor will sign his resignation, as he has repeatedly stated Occasions. "
