For three weeks, session has become a feat in the municipal council of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. In the last attempt, of two sessions, one managed to settle, but in the middle of a competition for whom he spoke stronger To impose your speech.
Councilor José Alberti spoke about this in the radio duty. He explained that the conflict is related to A struggle of UCS to maintain the majority in the council Municipal, removing their seats to Silvana Mucárzel (President) and Israel Alcócer, today unmarked from the Jhonny Fernández party.
He said that the mayor has bothered, above all, that in three years three fundamental laws would have been approved, which can contribute to the social welfare of the city. The first, he said, is the inspection law, which allows more Censorship to secretaries, directors who do not do their job. ANDN Second place is the Law of Technical and Legal Audit and Audit to the Ecological Cord, which gives a period of 120 days to carry out said audit, and which should have already been promulgated. Finally, Alberti mentioned the contract law, which he proposed in 2021, so that the contracts pass through the Council, prior to the signing of the mayor, as is the case as in Cochabamba and La Paz.
“The latter has the objective that Contracts are reviewed in the Councilwith transparency, since now these documents do not go through our hands, we have to pilgrimage, “he denounced.
On the last and embarrassing sessions in the Legislative, where there were from shouts to fighting threats, Alberti said that, when coming from the academic field, he is not accustomed to this type of situations.
However, he believes that The city does not deserve this type of actionslike Gabriela Garzón’s, “with disrespect for the plenary of the council and the city,” he alluded to the use of a megaphone, above others. He added that if Councilor Garzón wants to be a directive, he should wait on May 4, when the election is made.
“In four years we had not seen this type of authoritarian and run -ranking attitudes because before them (UCs) had a majority and not today. That’s why They want to run over, With a mechanism to hinder the council sessions to avoid the work we should be doing is part of this authoritarianism. Hopefully this fight is over, we are not supervising from the first day we assume, “he said.
Alberti hopes that the work of the council will be normal on Monday, and announced some strategies, without going into details. “We have had many blockages and I give as an example that we could not carry out public audiences, which are intended to listen to the problems of the neighbors.
The three weeks that this problem has been, the municipal executive did not want to receive the offices to convene the addresses, decentralized units or secretariats in charge of X work, maintenance or budget execution. The excuse is that it must come with the letter of the new president (of the Council), and I do not plan to hit this heights “Said the vice president.
Children of the mayor
Alberti talked about the two cases currently in judicial investigation, which involve Councilor Miguel Fernández, son of the mayor. One is that of computer manipulation in the former Secretariat of Tax Administration (SAT), and the other is that of illegal construction where a street was planned, a case known as FARMAFU (today May 3).
“The municipal executive has entered a Decadence process Because it is more than exposed the management of Jhonny Fernández, who has corrupted everything and breached his duty, his promises. Today we applaud that all the processes that we ourselves denounce are advancing in justice, one of those is that of computer manipulation, with two cautious people who in their statements, in the end, in the petition, the anti -corruption judge clearly indicates that both the son and the daughter of the mayor, Paola and Miguel Fernández, must be investigated, “he alluded to.
According to the CA legislator, today They are wanting to drown the council to cover these casesthat they are not minor, “so much so that Miguel Fernández’s lawyers are moving in the Council of the Magistracy and other spaces, to seek a freedom action for Councilor Fernández, that is to say that it is shielded and victimized,” he denounced.
About Faremafu, he said that the most serious thing is that this work, in addition to being clandestine, has no approved project or permission to build. “The complaints, which are from public officials, point out that It was Councilor Miguel Fernández who gave them the instructions so that it can be built and that the Mayor’s Office turns a blind eye. We are losing streets, avenues, green areas, because corruption is implemented by gaming a blind eye, “he questioned.
He gave as an example of this the UV285, where they recently attacked the legislator Lola Terrazas in an inspection. “Apart from insulting the councilors, the spokesperson came out with folders, but we did not know the processes that the municipality is supposed to do against Marco Muñoz Vaca (denounced by overwhelming), etc. Behind the disorder there is a negotiated one, when the municipality becomes a blind eye and not consolidated its own right, we have already evidenced it,” he said.
He recalled that eight months ago they went to that UV, where they found tents, and regretted that today there is a neighborhood, with houses of material, streets, basic services. “We wanted to show that to the city, at our own risk,” he said.
Family clan
Alberti also talked about how the son (Miguel Fernández) and cousin of the mayor (Denny Guzmán) are in the council, but he is also being pressed to put Stephanie Negrete, daughter of Luciano Negrete (spokesman for UCs), in one of the seats in lawsuit.
“Behind all this there are this type of election, when they surely made the list they kept the family. With these councilors, one that responds to Luciano Negrete and the other to Jhonny Fernández, we can no longer control, as we have been doing,” he warned.
He also confirmed that Andrea Daza, former secretary of planning dismissed by the Mutualist case, continues to work in the Executive, as an advisor. “We understand that it manages certain secretariats and addresses in the municipal executive,” he said, and said Mario Centellas, former secretary of Finance, continues in the structure as an advisor.
Mayor in campaign
For José Alberti, Jhonny Fernández has the right to campaign, but he cannot ignore his responsibilities, “and this did it from the first day of assuming,” he alluded to.
According to him, to date the mayor has only fulfilled less than 20% of his 99 electoral promises, and said that they cannot fulfill them for the financial deficit of the municipality. “There is a total abandonment of the management and lack of a city project. The result is a city in abandonment, dirty, and disgusted with this management,” he said.
