The socialist mayor Antonio Benito affirms that "we do not know if this councilman, who was already acting like this in the previous mandate, does not know the rules of the democratic functioning of the administrations or is that spending all day inaugurating unfinished works does not leave him time to take care of responding to our requests "

"The lack of transparency, opacity and tripping continues the work of the opposition of the PP councilor responsible for Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration, José Guillén, leaves us no other way than to take him to court, because the ugly habit of not responding to any of our requests and requests for information in these months of the mandate, it cannot be perpetrated ", announces the socialist councilor Antonio Benito.

Likewise, he affirms that "we do not know if this councilman, who was already acting like this in the previous mandate, does not know the rules of the democratic functioning of the administrations or is that spending all day inaugurating unfinished works does not leave him time to deal with responding to our requests, which are essential to work for our neighbors. "

"Of course, adds the socialist mayor, when from the PSOE Municipal Group we went to report any deficiency or non-compliance, the PP responds to us with absolutely useless exits, such as this week that we talked about the dire management of the chair contract and it was revealed that their councilors were concerned about the coronavirus, since we invited citizens to enter the website of the City Council to check all visits with a photo in Guillén gardens. "

Benito affirms that "he does not respond to anything and when it is evident, for example, that he is not enforcing the parks and gardens contract, a contract of 60 million euros, it turns out that we do not let municipal technicians work, when it is on the contrary, it is he who does not let anyone work or assume his obligations either. "

Furthermore, he points out, "he does not provide us with information about parks and gardens, or about Smart City or historical memory."

"The absolute transparency of public services is essential for the proper functioning of the administrations, no matter who governs, they are never, in any case, a beach bar in which the person on duty makes and breaks at will without explanation. it is democracy, it is something very different and inadvisable ", declares the councilman, who adds that, in addition, transparency is completely necessary because public money is handled and it is necessary to clarify what it is spent on, the opposite leads us to suspect that it is not it is being rigorously managed. "

Likewise, Antonio Benito is committed to a total regeneration of the City Council because "what cannot be is that in our City Council the contracts are not fulfilled and it seems that nothing is happening, no explanations are given, and no commissions are called. This cannot continue So".

For all these reasons, Antonio Benito concludes that "the only way out that we have left, since Mayor Ballesta himself protects his councilman, is to go to court to demonstrate that our right to information as councilors is hampered, a right recognized in the article 77 of the Regulatory Law of the Bases of the Local Regime and related to article 23 of the Spanish Constitution, in which the members of the Local Corporations have the right to obtain from the Mayor or President of the Local Government Board the information requested to develop the functions for which they have been chosen.
