The governing group considers that the speakers at the event had a high level and the objectives of staff training were met.
The Government group of the Santa Lucía de Tirajana City Council wants to publicly express its disagreements with some unnecessary expenses incurred during the I Congress of Local Administration and Nationally Qualified Officials held from November 16 to 19 in Maspalomas. The City Council supported the celebration of this congress because we consider that the training of public personnel is necessary to improve the functioning of the administration, and to adapt to the legislative changes that affect the daily work of officials and the services that must be provided to the public. citizenship. In this sense, we value holding a congress with high-level speakers.
But given the information that is being given about some expenses such as a musical performance by high-profile artists or the programming of fireworks charged to the congressional budget, from the municipal government of Santa Lucía de Tirajana we express our disagreement with these expenditures at the expense from the public treasury. As occurs in other conferences of this type that are financed by public institutions, neither the City Council nor the municipal government was aware of the contracting of these recreational activities, those decisions were made by the organization. We accept the error of not having demanded greater precision regarding the complementary activities of the congress, but a regulated procedure has been followed.
