the pp is maneuvering so that the extraordinary plenary session on the case of the masks that should be held soon diluted by being held in the late afternoon next Tuesday 26, after the ordinary plenary session.

The president of the Plenary, the popular councilor Francisco de Borja Fanjul, called the opposition spokesmen on Monday to test them for the possibility that this was the case, something that they have flatly rejectedas El Periódico de España has learned.

The truth is that the government team is qualified to take it to that date, and that it be held after the ordinary plenary session, since the formation led by Rita Maestre requested it on April 1, and the municipal Executive has up to 15 business days to convene it. 15 days that expire precisely next Tuesday.

“Almeida has not stopped hiding information or outright lying. He spent a year and a half hiding that the prosecution was investigating a government contract of his and when this is discovered, he continues to hide, lie and throw balls out. And the celebration of the extraordinary plenary session is no exception,” says Rita Maestre, who believes that Almeida’s objective “is to try to make it go unnoticed, so that as few people as possible find out.”

“It is clear the desire of the mayor to inform, to tell what has happened, to give explanations to the citizens. It is unable to give explanations in a serious, calm way. She knows that every time she speaks, new questions arise because she doesn’t stop contradicting herself and improvising as news becomes known. That is why she does not want to show her face in a plenary session, “adds the spokeswoman for Más Madrid.

In Recupera Madrid they also denounce the bad arts for the convening of the extraordinary plenary session and still wait for the pertinent explanations to be given.

“What the City Council is doing is a flight forward to avoid assuming a responsibility that is obvious. Medina is clear that he is a mug, but he is telling that it was by mutual agreement, “says the mayor of the platform, José Manuel Calvo, who reports that Fanjul also called them to withdraw the question of the case scheduled for the ordinary plenary session in the in the event that the extraordinary meeting is called on those dates.

For this councilor, the municipal government has “allegedly been in cahoots” with the hit by Luceño and Medina. “When they suspected that they might have been victims of a scam, they should have reported it. What he says louis medina is ‘they didn’t claim anything from me'”maintains Calvo, who also questions “the compadreo” between the Consistory and the commission agents.

“An official who handles public money [Elena Collado, responsable de las compras de material sanitario durante la pandemia] nOr you can say that 50,000 masks of the material you buy go to a certain place“, he points out in reference to the fact that these protections went to the Puerta de Hierro Hospital in Majadahonda at the request of Luceño, since his wife worked there.

Meanwhile, municipal sources recall that it is common for extraordinary plenary sessions to overlap, such as the one on budgets, and they insist that this week it was very difficult to have convened the plenary session since the commissions from all areas were convened. They also underline that the convening of the plenary session is within the dates authorized by the regulations.
