"
"It has been shown that the need for a modified project was known before the start of the works and neither the medical director nor the contractor reflected it. The reason is clear: it would have led to the suspension of the start of works and, Both, to the termination of the contract ".
"We will ask the Municipal Legal Counsel to assess our conclusions for, where appropriate, report of the initiation of legal actions, judicial, or through the Public Prosecutor's Office against the political leaders, in addition to the technicians and, in particular, Mr. Selgas, for The proven damage to the municipal coffers and the processing, "said Isabel García.
