SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 11 (EUROPA PRESS) –
VOX has sued the electoral representative of the party in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Débora Rodríguez, for the crimes of unfair administration, contemplated in article 252 of the Penal Code; electoral crime, article 139.1 of the LOREG; and crime on the occasion of impeding the exercise of civic rights recognized by the Constitution and the laws of article 542 of the Penal Code.
As reported in a statement, the formation goes to court after its electoral representative in the province of Tenerife -who had accepted the position of guaranteeing compliance with the obligations imposed by LOREG on political parties such as protecting and guaranteeing the rights who attends the party that already represents the candidacy – allegedly concealed that four candidates had renounced going on lists by notarial deed. In fact, they point out that it was not communicated to the Electoral Board until half an hour before the end of the legal term. “That is why the formation that Rodríguez represented did not have time to react,” they clarify.
The formation has pointed out that although it sent the necessary arguments to the Electoral Board, as well as an alternative candidacy, which was not accepted; and the Prosecutor’s Office has recognized that Rodríguez overstepped his duties and fraudulently violated VOX’s right to participate, “the TC decided, once again, to ignore the matter; in a new destruction of Justice.”
Specifically, adds VOX, Rodríguez’s action has caused damage to a candidate and to the formation, which is specified in not being able to attend the electoral process with violation of fundamental rights of both, and the right to political participation. “And it is that without the participation of the electoral representative, it would not have been possible to achieve the objective: boycott the VOX candidacy,” says the party.
The National Legal Vice-secretary of the formation, directed by Marta Castro, understands that the electoral representative of VOX in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife “exceeded her duties” to the point of “taking advantage of the trust placed, with fraud, with the intention of harming , and with serious disloyalty to the one who appointed her to represent her, as she did, breaching her most essential obligations towards the party and candidate she represented”.
In fact, when the formation is “informally” informed of the non-proclamation of the VOX list in the province of Tenerife, VOX explains that it tried to contact Rodríguez, who cannot be located, as is accredited in the complaint.
For this reason, the formation requests that a statement be taken from the defendant and requests the offer of actions as injured party to Alejandro Santiago Gómez Rodríguez, candidate number one, to the Congress of Deputies in the candidacy presented by the political formation and statement as a witness.
The Legal Vice-Secretary also requests that a statement be taken, also as witnesses, from those who were part of the candidacy, which has not finally been proclaimed: Manuel Ángel Molina Cordón; Salvador Miguel Lucena Segura; Encarnación Viso Ollero; Monica Paris Silva; Iván Bienvenido González Ríos.
