Mayor Luis Guillermo Benítez Torres faces the Mazatlán City Council Service Workers Union because they brought him the complaint that his director of Public Services, David Ibarra, allegedly fails to fulfill his job as head of the workers. The union members along with their leader demonstrated in the last council session demanding that Ibarra be removed from office, since he does not meet the demand of the worker base. They accused that in Aseo y Limpia, the collection trucks do not work and what they circulate are in poor mechanical condition. In addition, in Parks and Gardens they lack the necessary tools. Despite the needs revealed by the union leader, Laura Elena Tirado Aguilar, the “Chemist” Benítez only gave her a public warning, that is, a slap on the wrist.
But it seems difficult for the Moreno mayor to act against his first-level official. Already the governor of the state, Rubén Rocha Moya, said that if it were his case, that worker would already be fired, because he is a ‘rotten apple’. It seems difficult for Ibarra to step on the street because he is part of the Acquisition Committee that signed his signature so that the purchase of the lamps for 400.8 million pesos that have the mayor in an investigation and under the scrutiny of opinion public. Ibarra knows the details of that contract, which the mayor and his legal team kept locked up so that public opinion finds out until 2024.
A desperate attitude is what Mayor Luis Guillermo Benítez Torres showed yesterday at the card delivery day for the Bienpesca program, where Governor Rubén Rocha Moya was present. The president sought to attract the attention of the governor at all costs. He tried to get him to talk at all times, but Rocha would only give him a smile or say two or three words and ignore him. When the state president stopped to say his speech, there was an awkward silence and only Luis Guillermo Benítez Torres applauded and shouted. No one made him second. With this it is evident that Benítez Torres already feels footsteps on the roof, that is why he seeks to pretend to have a good relationship with the governor.
And speaking of slights, the governor of the state, Rubén Rocha Moya, did not attend the opening ceremony of the baseball game “Quadrangular del Bienestar DIF Sinaloa”, which took place yesterday at the Teodoro Mariscal stadium, despite the fact that it was on his agenda. He left Mayor Guillermo Benítez with his private secretary, Alejandro Higuera, whom “Chemist” Benítez has accused of leaving debts to the Municipality.
Who took advantage of his position was the director of Public Works and Services of Escuinapa, Jesús Contreras Sandoval, to allocate resources to pave Río Las Cañas street, in the Pueblo Nuevo neighborhood. This work will give him a better image and access to a particular business of the municipal official, which is a party room called El Terreno. In this street, huge lagoons of sewage frequently prevailed when registering the affectation in the drainage network.
