It cost more yesterday to start the extraordinary and urgent session than to finish it in less than five minutes with the rejection of a claim about the financing of the coastal reform in Candelaria.
The Council he had to start up all the machinery of a plenary session yesterday to respond to the surreal demand of a citizen. The law obliges this, although in the previous commission there was already a unanimous agreement not to take it into account. The express session ratified in less than five minutes –the telematic connection of the directors took longer– dismiss the appeal of the person claiming compensation for the queues of the TF-5 (Autopista del Norte) in the file to finance the reform of the coastal strip of the municipality of Candelaria, In the south.
The Plenary of the Cabildo, in an extraordinary and urgent session – just like yesterday – held on the 9th, agreed to “initially approve the file for modifying credits No. 8 of the Budget for the current fiscal year (2021).” It consisted of a contribution to finance the works of the breakwater on the coast of Candelaria. On December 7, AMBV presented a claim to the File, based on two arguments: «That the long lines that the residents of the north of Tenerife suffer to come to work daily in Santa Cruz are a shame and that we have been suffering an eternity of years without that some solution be given to us and that it caused us a worse state of health ». And secondly: «That the company that I own in Santa Cruz has not yet paid me the invoice presented in September 2021 and they tell me at the Cabildo that I will not be able to pay because they do not have dogs for me. For me there are no dogs but they make money exchanges from here to there. Well, no sir, it is not a receipt and if you ask for something you have to pay for it because the merchants are very needy and they cannot play with us like that.
The Permanent Plenary Commission of Presidency and Social Action, in an Extraordinary and Urgent session, dealt with this matter on the 10th. It concludes that “the first of the arguments put forward, that is, the long queues on the so-called North highway, have nothing to do with it. to do with the claimed file ». “From what is stated in the claim, it can be inferred that the intention of the claimant is not to make allegations to the file in question but to show his disagreement with this particular matter.”
On the other hand, with respect to the second point stated, «according to the information that appears both in the Accounting Register of Invoices and in the Information System and Economic and Accounting Management of the Corporation, there are no outstanding debts with the claimant as of the current date. ».
The Plenary Committee unanimously agrees to propose to the plenary session that the claim presented be dismissed and File No. 8 of modifications to the Cabildo’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2021 is finally approved. ” And that’s what happened.
