Socialists say in a statement that "the PP secret that the council was paying for the minutes of the lawyers who defended their council, charged by the courts of justice in an alleged crime of forgery. The facts, which are still under investigation by the Judge, under the certification and sales of works exist in the Avenida Juan Carlos I, in particular in the round of the French. "
"It so happens that the defense of PP councilors took Javier Cegarra, a lawyer who has also subsequently been charged in Operation Totem, who billed the city council to do more than 11,000 euros," he added.
Remember from the PSOE that "a few months ago we learned that the defense of directors of the PP in the municipal company Proinvitosa, initially were charged in Operation Totem was also paid by the council."
The Socialist Party believes that "the legal defense of public officials, accused in the commission of crimes or administrative irregularities, should not be paid by the council but the council or their respective political parties. This has been done each time this has happened to socialist positions. "
On the other hand say that "we have also learned that the monthly bill this cabinet billed the council for several years, exceeded 8,000 euros, without there being any procedure for this contract."
For socialists "the current economic situation in the town hall, where Andrea is considering reducing the municipal workers rights, is the result of years of waste, extravagance and lack of municipal money management, such as paying the lawyers Councillors PP with public money or maintain an advisory for more than 8,000 euros a month.
