Due to the need to guaranteeing normal working of the Town Hall, the Partido Popular Party of Els Poblets has been forced to break the agreement with their old associates, PIREE.
This decision is a direct consequence to declarations published in the media which were excluded from the government, and the refusal to keep on developing the assigned tasks of government. This decision is an exercise of responsibility in that we continue putting legality foremost in the interests of the Town hall.
We think that a legal and transparent process has been twisted, flouting the lawful procedure of the awarding of the Drinking Water Services. They have left in doubt the honour and professionalism of the municipal technicians, one of whom has given 25 years in defending the interests of the Town Hall
Also we are sure that the decision of PIREE to have presented an amendment and to have awarded the service to the fourth and last company will provoke a rain of legal claims against the Town Hall on the part of the other companies that put in tenders. The legal consequences caused by our (previous) associates concern us, not only for our reputation but also the possible economic fall out.
We cannot continue governing a second more with associates of government who have paralyzed the functioning of the Town Hall and who also do things and take decisions that cost money to the council and affect the well-being of the citizens.
We do not like associates who do not value dialogue, loyalty, communication and respect towards technicians and a committee of experts and it is for this reasons we are going to keep on governing in minority, working with transparency and legality, defending the interests of our municipality.
Equally we want to express our absolute disgust to the person or persons who were responsible for the graffiti that appeared last Saturday, which only produced economic damage since by no means are they going to influence our way of working. At the same time neither the Mayor nor the Partido Popular Party feel identified with these ideologies, insults or threats. The only thing that they have obtained is that my family feels threatened by the irresponsible act of one or more people who want to win with violence and threat which voting in the elections had not given them.
