SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, June 9. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) has ratified the sentence of 14 years of disqualification from employment or public office imposed on the former mayor of El Tanque, Román Martín, for a crime of administrative prevarication in the hiring of workers municipal.
The sentence, made public this Thursday and which dismisses Martín’s appeal, states that the hiring did not need “exceptionality and urgency”, as the former northern mayor has defended, who came to raise objections from Intervention alluding to exceptions that marked the PGE of 2015 and 2016, for which they did not comply with current regulations.
The Chamber does not appreciate reasons to invalidate the prohibition of temporary hiring by the administrations and points out that there was no prior agreement of the Plenary in this regard either.
In addition, up to four contentious-administrative court rulings rejected the hiring, as did the City Council comptroller and the accidental secretary, who indicated that the hiring went against the principles of equality, merit, capacity and publicity, nor selection process had been carried out.
The intervenor defended that the hiring of a social animator or a laborer cannot be “urgent or urgent” when there were already 13 on the workforce and the magistrate also criticizes the high number of hirings (11) in such a small town hall.
The witnesses also guarantee that the hiring was carried out without undertaking a selection process and in some cases without presenting a curriculum vitae or proceeding with the applicants from the municipal employment exchange.
The ruling also states that the former mayor –who has left the PSOE militancy– “was not a person who was unaware of the rules or the hiring process” since he had been in the Mayor’s Office since 2011 and has a degree in Economic Sciences, which it assumes “a sufficient degree of maturity” to understand unfavorable regulations and reports.
