In its last session, the Plenary Session of the Güímar City Council failed the Councilor for Personnel, the socialist José Miguel Hernández, with the favorable votes of the PP (proposing group) and Raquel Díaz (Cs), in addition to the abstentions of the Canarian Coalition (CC ), council members Airam Puerta and Beatriz Perdomo (PSOE) and SSP-IU. Only his other two groupmates, Patricia Encinoso and Cándido Gómez, supported him by voting against the Popular Party proposal.
The PP requested the “urgent opening” of a file to purge an alleged workplace harassment on the general secretary of the Corporation and the disapproval of councilor José Miguel Hernández, to whom he attributes such an attitude “for not complying with his requests,” specifies the motion popular.
These requests, exposes the PP, would be to sign a decree to pay a subsidy of 59,000 euros to a person, report unfavorably the file on the reduction of the working day of municipal personnel “since there is no due recovery of the schedule, as required by law legal”, and “the repetitive attitude, through the electronic administration platform, demanding immediate document signatures”.
Likewise, the PP recalls that the previous Councilor for Personnel, also a socialist Cándido Gómez, proposed filing the same official, “at the request of the Local Police of La Laguna”, due to the “indifference” attributed to the municipal secretary “before criticism of the aforementioned Police” while presiding over a court of evidence for access to the Güimarero body.
This is included in the PP proposal approved in full, an agreement adopted after the municipal government gave the go-ahead to “start the workplace harassment protocol” with which the Güímar City Council is endowed. Approach is expressed by the mayor, Gustavo Pérez, who had the rejection of the PP and the abstentions of Cs and SSP-IU.
“We are truly embarrassing for the residents of Güímar in something as serious as harassment, which in this City Council has a protocol, but here they want a show, here what matters is setting up a theater,” said the mayor, Gustavo Pérez. He himself left a question in the air: “How do we fail something that has not been demonstrated?”
José Miguel Hernández, the affected councilor, assured the Plenary that the technicians “find no signs” of harassment. “Here we have tried to leave the doubt that there are,” he added before stating that the harassment protocol was activated at the insistence of the mayor and his.
