The spokesperson for the PP in Avilés, Esther Llamazares, challenges the local government to prove the delivery of the documentation regarding the provision of 15 million euros, at the centre of a legal action.
The spokesperson for the PP in Avilés, Esther Llamazares, challenged the municipal government of PSOE this Thursday to demonstrate that they delivered the documents regarding the provision of 15 million euros in the General Account on time. This response comes after statements from the socialist spokesperson, Manuel Campa, who claimed that the opposition already had the information before filing a contentious-administrative appeal.
The PP denies having received the key documentation
According to Llamazares, the Popular Municipal Group submitted two formal requests for access to information on May 28 and June 21, to learn about the complaint from Asturagua and the technical reports justifying the reserve of 15 million. The party claims that the government missed the legal deadlines without providing the data, which led to the legal action.
“Mr. Campa has a concerning habit: every time the PP uncovers a problem, he responds with insults and personal attacks instead of with documents,” Llamazares stated. The spokesperson insisted that the conflict cannot be resolved with statements, but rather with the delivery of evidence and reports.
PSOE claims they sent the files on June 30
Manuel Campa defended that all the material was sent to the PP on June 30, three days before formalising the contentious action. He even claimed that the files remained undownloaded until shortly before going to court, describing the action as “nonsense.” The Popular Party rejects this version and asserts that they never received the essential documents.
For the PP, the debate transcends partisan confrontation and affects institutional transparency and the oversight of municipal management. “We are talking about 15 million euros of public money. No responsible councillor can vote on a General Account without knowing what documentation supports a provision of such magnitude,” Llamazares pointed out.
What it means for the residents of Avilés
The lack of transparency in a matter of enormous economic significance generates uncertainty about the destination of municipal funds. PP councillors warn that, without access to the documentation, they cannot adequately oversee the expenditure. The legal action continues, and the court will decide whether the municipal government must deliver the files.
In the meantime, Llamazares challenges the PSOE to “prove when, how, and on what day they delivered the complaint we have been requesting for months.” The ball is in the local government's court, which insists that the documentation is already available.
