The local party leader for the PSOE socialists in Motril (also, an ex-mayor) Flor Almón, has called for Mayor Luisa García Chamorro to resign immediately.
It appears that disgruntled members of the Mayor’s party, the PP, leaked documents concerning the Mayor which shows that she allegedly misused party funds to the tune of 4,000 euros.
“Luisa García Chamorro should resign for using, as she admitted in the online newspaper, elDiario.es party funds; in other words Motril taxpayers’s money, to pay compensation after being found guilty of libel. She knowingly lied to hurt a good person, ”said Ms. Almón.
But she is not alone in her criticism of the Mayor because the party Spokesperson for Vox, reported the Mayor to the Provincial Public Prosecutor, urging an investigation into Mayor Luisa María García Chamorro’s alleged misuse of party funds to pay for her defense in a personal, libel, law suit.
Editorial comment: the Mayor is unlikely to survive this and it also reflects badly on the provincial PP HQ for not publicly intervening in the affair but rather leaving it to local party members to secretly pass condemnatory information to the opposition.
Also, bear in mind that the Mayor was to be elevated to the position of Provincial Chairwoman of the Partido Popular for Granada; an arbitary decision handed down from Granada, rather than through popular support from the rank – & – file, card-carrying PP members, which might explain the anonymous tip off from amongst the members of the municipal branch of the PP in Motril.
