The spokesman of RED Benitatxell, Josep Femenía, has issued a statement in which he assures that the mayor of Benitatxell, Miguel Ángel García, "He has hidden from the neighbors, for a month, that he and his councilors have been expelled from his party. Compromís ratified the expulsion of Miguel Ángel García on January 7, however, it has not been made public until today" .
Femenía points out that from the January 7 "vital decisions have been made for the municipality and that commit not only to the current budget but to the operation of the locality in the coming years based on a lie: they are not mayor of Compromís."
The spokesman of RED Benitatxell has described the performance of "an insult to democracy, an insult to the neighbors of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell and an insult to their dignity. He has shown that he only cares about the chair. Above transparency, above his party and above being true to the truth. "
Josep Femenía It also indicates that, just for the extraordinary plenary that is celebrated today, 7 of February, "Where the mayor must give an account of the actions carried out during the last months, he has modified the content of the request of the mayor of RED and PP to avoid giving copies of the documentation to the requesting mayor."
Government Response Team
Before the statements of RED Benitatxell, the mayor of the town, Miguel Ángel García, and its editors Maite Roldán and Jorge Pascual have assured that their expulsion from Compromís "We are not distracted by a second of the government task that we are carrying out. The leadership in Valencia made us choose between acronyms and the people. We are here to work for our municipality", explained García, who has stressed that he does not want to enter into a tug-of-war with Compromís.
García has explained that "Today we are even more convinced that moving forward with the motion of no confidence was the right thing to do. It was not an option, but an obligation. We could not remain impassive in the face of misgovernment and the paralysis of the Town hall".
The mayor has also assured that neither he nor his two comrades until now of Compromís have breached the coalition's bylaws. They have been expelled for agreeing a motion of censure with a defector. "But there is a court ruling that makes it clear that Toni Colomer is not a transfuge. Therefore, the reason given for expulsion does not exist. We do not rule out filing an appeal. But, of course, we will not enter into controversies with Compromís "said Garcia who added that "The file was taken by the national address of Compromís, which corresponded, therefore, to make public the agreement they adopted, so we have not hidden anything."
