A mayor cornered between the increasingly evident deficiencies and irregularities of the mandate launches her team of councilors to the plenary session to give 2 hours of online reading of the management reports written by the technicians.
Undoubtedly, the capacity for surprise will not be lost in Calp, especially for those who had the municipal plenary session as an organ of deliberation and debate, and not as a propaganda speaker for those who hold power. Concluded the topics of debate and under a presumption of transparency, the mayor gave way to her new invention, an interminable control session, item 23, the mayoral management report. Unidirectional, doctrinal and without the possibility of reply.
We know that everyone tells the fair how it is going in it, here it was not the case, at least for the opposition, who could not intervene in the 120 minutes that the glorious staging lasted. The Anasalate effort to shine increasingly resembled the Venezuelan "hello president," or the border megaphones strategically placed in North Korea. It was not the control session that it was intended to be. Government monologues could only lead to the traditional closing that of "tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack." After the extensive filibustering jarana that was executed by all the government councilors (except the mayor) there was no other conclusion.
Many will wonder if it is due to the successive public pricks in terms of communication or the also notable absence of achievements. If not, the reason why the mayor institutes this kind of "hunger games" or "squid" among her team, will remain unknown. Unless it has the presumable purpose that these serve as a shield or save the municipal shame that it has lost. Let us not forget that in this plenary session the government team was forced to remove an item from the agenda due to its inability to explain it.
However, yet another example that the Popular Party has vast experience in twisting all kinds of regulations for its own purposes, if not directly to benefit the "friends", it is done to delay, obstruct or avoid public debate.
This wave of information poured into the control session did not bring anything, beyond the fatigue of all those involved, and the unequivocal message of "I do it because I can", by the first mayor. They have already stolen 20 years of progressive government from us, which is two more hours.
Much information, but no important data, after two years, we Calpinos still do not know the issues that are dealt with in the Calp Water Council, the public purpose that the La Manzanera megaproject will have or the dates on which the second institute.
On the other hand, they fussy the public answer to the questions posed by the opposition and aggressively shortened their interventions. They choose to answer what, how and when it seems to them. It is evident that the government team prefers to embrace their 2 hours of official account than to answer the questions that the citizens ask them through the councilors.
In short, plenary sessions in which the PP, now saddened by a great grievance, has taken away the voice of citizens to turn them into a monologue - with little humor and exhume pathos - to give itself wax, hype and complacency, at the same time as they mask with authoritarianism the incapacity of resolution and intellect of the misgovernance team.
