The Court of First Instance and Instruction number 1 of Güímar filed the complaint filed by Pedro Hernández, councilor of CC, against the mayor, Luis Javier gonzalez (PSOE), for alleged irregular hiring. The judge agreed to the dismissal and assured in the order that “it is evident that there are no rational indications of the commission of a criminal offense.”
Luis Javier González maintained throughout the process that the complaint was “unjustified”, without legal support or “indications of criminality.” In his opinion, “The complaint did not respond more than to a use of justice with an electoral nature” due to the proximity of the elections on May 28 “, in which González was elected with an absolute majority. CC filed the complaint “a few weeks after the municipal elections» with decrees from the last six months of the mandate.
From the documentation provided, “the commission of any criminal act cannot be evidenced,” reflected the judge, who remarked that “The approved decrees are limited to specific aspects related to the problem of water supply, repair of municipal vehicles and recreational celebrations of the City Council”. Contracts are justified by the special need of the moment or of the contracted service.
The municipal secretary and comptroller stated before the judge that This way of proceeding has been applied for 17 years and “it is the only possible one, given the resources available to the Fasnia Municipality”. In addition, he said that there has been no complaint from the Court of Accounts, the General Directorate of Public Function, the Government Sub-delegation “or any other control body.” He also declared that CC “has never requested the annulment of the decrees”, being able to do so.
