The Mayor of La Carolina Dismantles the Argument of the Former Socialist Mayor

La Carolina Is Involved in a Scandal Over an Alleged Network of Fake Invoices. The case involves former socialist mayor Yolanda Reche and several of her closest collaborators. It all began when the grandparents at the pensioners' home informed the current mayor about a promised pool table that never arrived, despite having been paid for.

EDATV Interviewed Yolanda Reche, Who Claimed to Be Happy About the Indictment of Her Trusted Person. However, she later alleged that this was not a trusted person, but a "public employee."

The former mayor assured that, as a councilor at that time, she would not assume political responsibility. Additionally, she refused to apologize to the elderly who were left without the promised table. She even went so far as to say: "Well, let them buy another one."

The Current Mayor of La Carolina, Cristóbal Pérez Martínez, Presented Evidence Contradicting Reche's Statements. According to Pérez in an interview with EDATV. The person in question is not a municipal official but part of the former mayor's close team.

He Showed Documents Proving That This Person Was Appointed as Trusted Staff in 2021 and that she automatically ceased at the end of Reche's term.

The Mayor Pérez Also Reported the Purchase of 13 Mobile Devices

In addition to the pool table controversy, other suspicious invoices have been discovered. According to the mayor, there are hotel and apartment invoices linked to trips made by the previous government team to the Fitur tourism fair. These invoices could be fake and related to an alleged embezzlement of public funds scheme.

The mayor Pérez also reported the purchase of 13 state-of-the-art mobile devices by Reche's team. Two months before the municipal elections. These devices, acquired with public funds, have not been returned to the town hall.

Cristóbal Pérez Martínez did not hesitate to respond forcefully to the statements of the former socialist mayor Yolanda Reche. Who, according to him, is lying in relation to the pool table case and the 3,000 euros. Which have not yet been returned to the municipal coffers.

Pérez Martínez Explained That in the Interview, Reche Said That a Councilwoman Asked Her for Authorization for a Payment to Justify. Something he strongly denied by showing an official document from the Town Hall indicating otherwise.

"Here is the official intervention document from the town hall that demonstrates and justifies that the payment to justify is ordered by the mayor of La Carolina to the trusted person." This makes it clear that there was no intervention from any councilor.

According to the mayor, Reche is lying again about the matter: "It is not about a councilor issuing the payment to justify to this trusted person, it is the mayor."

He also highlighted that one of the most important documents is the municipal treasurer's report. Which certifies that the money has never been returned to the municipality's coffers, as Reche had claimed.

"She knows it, the mayor knows it, because coincidentally the same lawyer who defended Mrs. Reche, the former mayor, was the same lawyer for the trusted person. Therefore, she was not an official," pointed out the mayor, hinting at the strange relationship between those involved in the case.

Pérez Martínez also expressed his concern about the role of the former mayor's trusted person. Who, according to him, has become a scapegoat. "For me, this trusted girl, who was a member of the local executive of the Socialist Party, is a victim. She is taking the blame," asserted the mayor.

Additionally, he asked the implicated person to speak the truth and look out for her family. "I only ask her to look out for herself." "To look out for her family and, if she sees fit, to look out for the truth for the people of La Carolina." With this clear message to the person involved, he concluded the interview.
