As fate would have it today, local holiday in Cartagena when Judge Novo Carthago Case sent the complaint from the Mayor of Cartagena to the Supreme Court, this decision confirms that the Mayor of Cartagena gauging relies on its being national deputy to avoid what is becoming unavoidable, his immediate resignation.
SPCT respects the legitimate right of Mrs. Mayor to defend using the strategy considers appropriate, but if he is charged is not the result of his activity as a member, but as mayor, and therefore should not rely on the gauging to avoid be judged like any ordinary citizen.
His refusal to testify before Judge Abbey may be permissible from the point of view of its defense strategy, but it is unacceptable from the point of view of citizenship, which once again looks like a political leader of the PP try to use legal arguments and political privileges to delay his trial and what is more shameful to be resubmitted to the municipal elections of 2015.
SPCT demands the immediate resignation of the Mayor of Cartagena, as citizens of Cartagena can not in economic crisis, with more than 20,000 unemployed have the first barricaded municipal authority on the couch with no other aim than to escape conviction, without properly meet the demands of a position of much responsibility as the Mayor of Cartagena, for which it has been completely delegitimized after not recognize the Supreme Court of the Region of Murcia covered in your jurisdiction.
If the direction of the national, regional and local PP wants to preserve some glimmer of credibility in his "alleged" anti-democratic degradation must stop immediately Mrs. Barreiro.
SPCT remember that the ethical code of the PP in point 8 states "commitment to notify the Directorate of the People's Party opening any legal proceedings arising from the prima facie evidence of an offense, and make available to the Party public office when the National Committee of Rights considers that their stay in the same harms the organization or public institution.
