The mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, explained at a press conference today that has never pressured or money order to any employer and has announced that he will ask prosecutors to investigate the charges against her have poured a promoter of the city without providing any proof.
The mayor began his appearance last week stating that he learned from the press that the builder had made ​​to the city judge serious charges against her, to defend Councilman Jose Lopez sued for libel.
Barreiro has argued that although it is not up to her to prove anything, but it accuses, has felt obliged to appear as a public responsibility and explain to citizens.
The mayor has shown sharp, indicating that nu nca has never borrowed money from any employer, either directly or indirectly.
Never.
He also said that he has never pressured a businessman and has never accepted nor pressure any of them. Accusing me builder has offered no proof of your complaint and it is unacceptable that credit is given to allegations without proof.
The mayor stressed that in his 18 years of government met with entrepreneurs of all kinds, investors from all responsible sectors and banking, it is one of my duties.
I have met countless times, also with the complainant, who was the promoter of a major investment in Cartagena Mediterranean Park.
You all know that this government has supported this project and that this support is maintained with decisions such as extending opening hours.
I do not think these decisions demonstrate precisely aim of harming the plaintiff.
So I find it unacceptable to try to make a regular meeting as evidence of a crime.
Barreiro added that if this man eight years felt extorted should have reported and not so long after making an accusation without providing a shred of evidence.
The mayor pointed out that these allegations have been made ​​at the request of the defense council Jose Lopez, accused of slander. Not think it's coincidence that the political ideology of López match the business interests of the complainant and has drawn attention the redevelopment of Cabezo Beaza residential program is Citizens Movement.
Barreiro said that the allegations against Mr. Lopez and his Government against it are continuous and reflect a chase that goes far beyond the obligations of control by the political opposition.
We complained about the management of the Auditorium and the Prosecutor filed because no crime.
Lopez takes accusing months irregularities in this matter.
The prosecutor has taken away the reason, but Mr. Lopez is a councilor and unapologetically.
We denounced by the award of a contract for electric service.
Put the complaint by email, which gives an idea of the seriousness and rigor with which this man worked.
The prosecutor in this case as in all, has again filed the complaint. Prosecutor has made ​​him remove the reason, as we reported last week.
Mr. Lopez is a councilor and unapologetically.
This man uses justice as a strategy of attrition.
So far each claim theirs has become a judicial failure.
The mayor has lamented that in a democracy and a system of law asked public explanation of a complaint on which there is no proof.
But as I have nothing to hide I'm going to ask the Prosecutor to investigate me, he said. This morning I directed the Prosecution to give transfer of these statements and ask him to investigate for those occurrences.
I hope the prosecutor asked the complainant evidence and act accordingly.
He also noted that once all these lawsuits will consider exercising the corresponding civil action in defense of their honor, privacy and image.
Finally, Barreiro says his work as mayor of Cartagena has always been honest, honest and under the strict legality. This was endorsed Justice in actions put into question as Lo Poyo, the wall of the CIM, the windlass, The Auditorium The Tender, and filed last week on the maintenance of public lighting.
Citizens in a majority again in 2011 in my community and in my party to rule this town, I have never betrayed that trust anyone or anything and I will remove from the road, has been completed.
