The militants of the New Generations of the PP of the city of Alicante (NNGG) filed a claim with the court. execution of sentence condemning the party to call an extraordinary congress to elect the head of the youth branch, Managed by a manager since 2015. The sentence was given at the end of February and served at the beginning of March. PP had 20 days to appeal but decided not to do so, hence the penalty which also ordered the party to pay the costs, company. To set a date for the celebration of the meeting, the sole point of the day when the president of Alicante’s Next Generations, given the inaction of the people’s executive branch, Alicante Court of First Instance No. 7, the judge was asked to carry out the sentence. But from the PP, they secured the election process of the party’s youth branch. It will be activated after the provincial congress with the local people, but itComplainers don’t trust Y request an emergency call. “There is no movement or expectation that it will gather” these sources point to.
The sentence was given as a result of a complaint by an affiliated member of the Alicante PP to NNGG. Alvaro Alarconwhich your claims are fully confirmed: calling the militants to a congress with a single agenda, appointing the president. The judge notes that the exceptional situation advanced by the defendant to justify breach of statutes or non-appointment from among affiliated companies is “unacceptable” and notes that the Nuevas Generaciones administration and the PP have serious exceptional reasons before their supporters justifying their failure to summon them to a congress as set out in the party charter. Discussed what happened.
More, Since the last president Adrián Santos was elected in 2013, no election has been held for the position presiding over the youth of the PP of the city of Alicante. What resigned in 2015 Before going to CS, education he continued and was mayor in Alicante City Council. The party then appoints a director who, according to the statute, has a “temporary” term of up to six months without calling the congress or assembly specified in the said norms. PP’s NNGG following the resignation of Adrian Santos in 2015 Appointed as an administrator led by Francisco Joaquín Sampere Buyolohad to collect the process within six months before affiliates could choose the new leadership. Buyolo submitted his resignation in October 2017 After spending more than two years at the head of a ruler, according to the party’s own statutes, it should not exceed half a year. Next, the primary process, which was never called upon to select the new candidate, was explained. The party returned to install Sergio Villa, another vice-president of the ruler himself., who is still on duty. The judge condemned the defendant for not even coming to the hearing.
Disturbed by the lack of a call to elect the head of Alicante’s Next Generations, militants said it “No way, no direction”. They note that the executive chairman endorsed an out-of-town opposition a few months ago and has since “further ignored the position”. Meanwhile, complainant Álvaro Alarcón insists that his intention was not to present himself as a candidate, but simply to ensure that the statutes set it, that is, the convening of a congress, and that the militants are those who choose what they want. leading them.. Alarcón tried this goal multiple times by sending several emails, meetings internally, and even sent a notarized request, which apparently had no effect. That’s when he decided to sue his party.
The argument the body uses to reject this militant’s case is that no congress has yet been held to call for the electoral process to which such assemblies are subject. However, the sentence itself is a reminder that there has been no electoral process since 2019, and since then, nearly three years have passed without calling on his supporters or explaining serious exceptional reasons that justify an impending temporary situation with his militants. years. The defense also argued that the local-level formation did not have the power to hold their own congresses and that the party’s upper echelons had to do so, something that would break the sentence. “It is meaningless to claim that a political party cannot follow a democratic procedure in appointing the president because there are electoral processes. If it is, it will result in the conclusion that the participation of the parties in the election for office will never be appropriate. “, states the judge.
Separately, the plaintiff sought the application of the formation’s statutes to the case, along with another militant who filed the case in 2019 (and dismissed due to a formal error in addressing the Valencian Community’s NNGG instead of Alicante’s). Allowing the party’s youth wing congress to be celebrated, which has been interfered with by an executive since at least 2016. doctrine issued by the Supreme Court condemning the People’s Party, then led Mariano RajoyDue to the same circumstances not to hold the National Congress in 2015. The sentence in favor of the PP’s Next Generations Alicante militant indicates that: affiliates’ right to democratic participation has been violated and sets an important precedent to offer a solution through the courts to the dozens of rulers the party has held in contravention of its statutes across Spain.
At the trial, they came to Alicante, the ex-president of NNGG, to testify as witnesses, Francisco Joaquin SampereFormer general secretary of NNGG, Lorenzo Lorenzo Silvestreand the current president of the Next Generations of the Valencian Community, John Charles Knight. As can be understood from the sentence, the representative of NNGG of Alicante, acting in accordance with the legal order of Alicante, did not attend. Manuel Villarhe currently serves as PP councilor on the Alicante City Council and as legal counsel to the Popular Municipal Group, among other positions.
