Sources from the government team confirm that Juan Antonio Yeguas, a socialist councilor, will be the mayor of Celebrations, Tourism and New Technologies. The fourth mayoralty will be held by the leader.
Yeguas resigned from the socialist municipal group after it was discovered that he had not voted for his party’s candidate. In a statement, the mayor gave his reasons for leaving the socialist municipal group and indicated his willingness to join the non-attached City Council group.
Yeguas met with the alderman the next day and expressed his willingness to join the government team. According to the Popular Party, Narvaez gave Yeguas the area of Celebrations as well as the fourth mayoralty.
The PSOE of Granada asked the president of PP to explain why he granted him membership in Churriana’s new local corporation. This was done through a mayoral resolution – which gave the council to the socialist mayor up until a few days back.
“Why has Perez allowed this councilor to be granted an area delegation and surely a compensation in return for this fact?” Casares, a socialist representative, said that this was “serious” as it would mean “we would be facing an alleged case in political turncoat and the largest scandal in the municipal political history>>.
The socialist stated that Sebastian Perez’s lack of political decency showed that for him, the word of the people is worthless.
“Everything points towards the fact that we are facing an alleged rigging of the PP in Churriana to stay in power and a possible violation of the Anti-Transfuguism Pact,” stated Casares. He also stressed the need to clarify the matter given that he can’t remain silent any longer.
Casares claims that the councilor refused to give over his minutes and requested to be incorporated into the non-members group.
He stated that the “traps in politics” were not valid and criticised the fact that the PP in this instance “has not hesitated in using methods to subvert democracy, the will of citizens, even if it has to grant them public positions at any cost.” Another fraud committed by the PP to Churriana residents>>
He also reminded that the Socialists continue to investigate this matter in an effort to clarify it.
