Crossing of accusations between two Vox councilors on Orihuela City Council. After Asunción Aniorte announced that the party had requested that the municipal allocation be transferred to the national account, which he refused, José Manuel García Escolano stated that he had to “reject” these statements: “The decision not to touch a single euro, the money that the City Council gave to Vox belongs exclusively to me, and with this I’m proud because the goal is to return to the city’s coffers when his term ends.” He is the group spokesperson.
“When this lady learned of my decision not to be re-listed for the next election, she ran first and offered to spend some of the money on propaganda, which I flatly refused.” Describing the mayoral candidate Manuel Mestre as “screechy, misogynistic and a liar”, he stated that the reason for Aniorte’s statements was “he is not on the Vox lists”.
Aniorte insisted that the national leadership was the first to reject his proposal, and that “the municipal group’s account is joint, and at the last plenary meeting I told García Escolano that we should talk to the Treasurer, see how to return that post, and of course liquidate the bank account that we both had to sign; The exclusivity of which he speaks is not and never has been”.
Regarding the payment of the brochure, Aniorte said, “these were made and paid for over a year ago, but not with City Council money.” They continued, “The work we do, both the coordinator and his team, and the councilor, not the councillors, because of your work, dear José Manuel, we could write little or nothing.”
Thus, the councilor attacked his colleagues for “very little he did between zero and zero”, referring to his low municipal turnout: “I don’t know or yes, it’s official for what purpose the deputy Mestre wrote this statement but García Escolano how little or nothing he did it. so that now half or more of Orihuela is not laughing at him, because I fear that the act of responsibility, decisions and obligations to this city will come too late or too late”.
Regarding the citations that García Escolano said that Aniorte was awarded, the mayor said, “All I did was work for Orihuela for plenary sessions, meetings with committees, boards, associations and neighbors that I always attended, and I listened and, of course, a councillor. I have always participated in all the activities and actions that I felt I should have done as a person and out of responsibility, something García Escolano did not do”.
He also recalled that “García Escolano was imposed by hand, by plug, as those at Vox like to do or do.”
Finally, Aniorte regretted, “Now, at the end of the term, when García Escolano felt most responsible, made decisions, and saw himself as the spokesman of the assembly having an obligation to do something, when there was so much to do and all was well.” especially those related to the Orihuela of Oriolanos, or worse, took place Olympic”.
