SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 12 May. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The deputy of the Canarian Nationalist Group, José Alberto Díaz-Estébanez, has registered a question in plenary session and a request to appear in committee so that the Government of the Canary Islands reports on the “failed operation” by the Canary Islands Health Service for the purchase of masks worth four million euros to a company “without technical or economic guarantee, paid in advance and never received”.
The newspaper ‘Canarias 7’ publishes this Thursday that the Executive contracted a batch of FPP3 masks from a company that was dedicated to the sale of vehicles but they were never delivered, so the Canarian Government resolved the contract for non-compliance and now tries to get the money back.
The contract was signed by way of emergency and the money was paid in two payments and without requiring guarantees, says the newspaper.
The nationalist deputy already made another request for documentation to the Government on January 26 referring to news about “the acquisition contract for 48,000 PCR tests carried out by the Government of the Canary Islands (Canary Health Service), in the first half of 2021, for a cost of 720,000 euros”.
Given the response received to this request, in which the documentation itself, which was the file in question, was not provided a few weeks ago, Díaz Estébanez reiterated the request for these documents to be included and to specify “the price paid on the market price, as well as who determines and based on what criteria the choice of the production company and the intermediary role of another company”.
On the occasion of these new registered initiatives, both in full and in Commission, Díaz Estébanez trusts that the Government “can clarify the details of this operation.”
