The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group Susana Hernández has denounced this morning before the courts and the media that, after 17 months of repeated requests for information to the Councilor for Modernization of Administration, Urban Quality and Participation, José Guillén, on the improvements that Have been carried out in the gardens, has not received any response, which "is contrary to Article 23 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right of citizens to participate in public affairs, as well as Article 77 of the Basic Law Of Local Regime and to 5 of the Rules of Procedure of the Plenary, "he points out.

For Hernández, "it is regrettable and embarrassing to have to go to court to claim information from the councilman who is, precisely, responsible for transparency."

However, he says that "this denial of documentation is just one example, since my colleagues in the Socialist Group are encountering similar situations with other members of the Ballesta team, so if necessary we will return to the courts to obtain what We ask ".

The Councilor reports that in July 2015 "I asked Guillen about the improvements that had been made and planned to perform in gardens by the concessionaire company, included in the contract as children's games, gerontogimnasia, leisure gardens or canine areas , And as of today I have not received any reply ".

Therefore, "I begin to think that, perhaps, after this information there is something obscure that you want to hide," he adds.

Susana Hernández states that "our access to documentation, information and municipal records is necessary to be able to exercise our control and control of the municipal government, which is our obligation as a member of the Corporation."

Likewise, the councilor regrets having to use the courts to access information that must be provided without any kind of obstruction and "I believe that after 17 months, more than enough time has passed for me to be given the requested documentation On different dates and repeatedly. "

"We hope that the PP does not force us to convert the request for information through the courts in a custom," he concludes.
