Note from PSOE:
The Municipal Socialist Group in the municipality of La Union, through its municipal spokesperson, Mariano Oliver, has criticized the "cacique and undemocratic attitude of the PP government team in the township of La Union to refuse the use of room Hall House Press, requested in writing for the day 04/01/2009.
Oliver said that "there is good reason whatsoever for the government team denies us the use of the Press today to provide information on municipal, making it the second time that prevents us from treading upon our right to exercise this function representative committed to us.
To this we must add that during the past year we were evicted from the local that we belonged in the municipal by decision of the government team. "
According to Oliver, the government team "inexplicably has informed us that the Press Room is reserved for institutional acts and not to carry out partisan acts, ignoring it, which is the Municipal Group PSOE Socialist and not as a political party, who requests its use. "
He recalled that the Mayor, Francisco Bernabé, has been used in other cases the local Press for press party content and not institutional acts, "as happened the past day 21.11.2008, when it was dedicated to disqualify the attitude Municipal Socialist Group and its spokesperson. "
Socialist spokesman for the "situation indicates the lack of democratic convictions of PP, in trying to prevent the legitimate exercise of the representative functions which belong to us."
Also reported that "Barnabas and the PP believe that the city is your particular farm."
The Municipal Socialist Group has lodged an appeal against that decision, "prior to filing a lawsuit, so that we recognize that our rights have been violated," he said Mariano Oliver.
