He A Coruña City Council considers that they cannot be required responsibilities to any politician or official for the irregular construction of the building Count of Fenosa. It has decreed the filing of the administrative investigation that could lead to criminal and patrimonial responsibilities in a resolution to which Radio Coruña Cadena SER has had access.
The process, which could lead to the bankruptcy of the municipal coffers as a result of the possible compensation required, started with the government of Francisco Vazquez who granted a license considered illegal by the courts in successive sentences until reaching the Supreme court who came to demand the demolition of the property. Finally, a mediation agreement was produced that avoided the demolition and associated compensation accepted by the Superior Court.
The councilor for Urbanism, Juan Diaz Villoslada, has explained that the Atlantic Tide issued a report dated May 22, 2019, a few days before the municipal elections, in which only two municipal architects were identified as possible implicated and the political positions were exempted from responsibility. The procedure initiated by this government only thus included the imputation to the officials. In the opinion of the instructors, they did not incur in serious fault, but in an administrative error. Villoslada points out that the Marea ruling has conditioned the search for culprits.
In the opinion of the Marea, which is in the hands of this drafting, the architects of Fadesa Antonio de la Morena and Joaquín Sanjuan. As you may have learned Radio Coruña Cadena SER The City Council is studying with the legal advice the actions to be taken against them in a separate piece of this action.
The mediation agreement that put an end to the dispute in the courts meant paying 2.9 million euros to the complainant and the recognition of the payment of 9,000 to 12,000 euros for each owner if he resigned to go to court to request greater compensation. A possible demolition of the building would have entailed the payment of compensation of about 50 million euros by the City Council that would have caused the bankruptcy of the municipal coffers.
The search for responsibilities is the result of that same agreement and is included in the legislation that indicates that whenever it is necessary to pay compensation with resources from the public coffers, it should be investigated if there was any decision by politicians or officials that caused this damage.
The ruling is dated August 6 and was produced after accepting the allegations of the two affected officials. Mention aside their reasons deserve. One of them went so far as to accuse the municipal government of lack of prudence by not suspending the start of the works when he learned of the existence of a complaint that demanded the cancellation of the license.
When the Conde de Fenosa building was built, Francisco Vázquez was Mayor. His name does not appear in the report made by the government of the Atlantic Tide in the purge of responsibilities. Only Salvador Fernández Moreda, town planning councilor, is mentioned, noting that his name does not appear, only his position, at the time of authorizing the license.
The BNG against the lack of responsibility before a “manifestly illegal” action
The BNG regrets that a manifestly illegal action that caused a serious financial loss to the City Council is settled without any person responsible.
The councilor Avia Veira hopes that the filing of this matter, together with the operation of The Percebeiras, do not indicate the intention of the Local Government to return to an urban policy of the past.
The nationalists consider that the council has limited itself to covering the file and has not sought to purge real responsibilities against municipal managers at that time.
