He asserts that, “it is shameful that we have hardly been provided with information in the extraordinary and urgent council to which the mayor or the representative of the PP has not come, who do not seem to give importance to this serious matter of which the total amount of what is unknown is unknown. disappointed"

Seville, December 20, 2019. The spokeswoman for the VOX Municipal Group in the City Council of Seville, Cristina Peláez, said Friday that "there is a political responsibility in the alleged embezzlement in the Public Cleaning Company of the City of Seville (Lipasam), because the money defrauded, whose amount is still unknown, is public, as well as the responsibility of management of the company itself, so the municipal government must immediately determine these responsibilities and be informed of the measures to be taken. ”

Peláez has expressed concern about the serious irregularities allegedly committed by one of the accountants of Lipasam and has lamented “that we had to find out from the media about this serious problem that affects Lipasam, a municipal company that has entered, under the mandate of Juan Espadas, in an absolute lack of control due to the evident lack of efficiency in the provision of the service and, from what we are seeing, also when exercising our own controls to avoid news such as those found today in the media of local communication ”.

"It does not cease to surprise us that we had to find out from the press what is happening in Lipasam, especially when two days ago we held an ordinary board of directors in which nothing was said about it."

The VOX municipal spokeswoman recalled that the Lipasam board of directors approved in 2016 a model of organization and management for the prevention and detection of crimes, designating an internal collegiate body called the Lipasam Criminal Responsible Body “of which we do not know the people that make it up and the works developed so far ”.

"It is shameful that the mayor did not attend the extraordinary and urgent board of directors that was convened this Friday, it is also that no one from the PP has come and the most embarrassing of all is that we have just been provided with information on what happened beyond what is published in the press ”.

The spokeswoman for the VOX Municipal Group has stated that “we have many more questions than answers, such as the procedures used by the worker to violate controls and audits, the date on which the diversion of funds is detected, the amount, as items of the spending budget imputed the payments that went to their accounts. ”

Finally, Peláez has stressed after the urgent and extraordinary board of directors of Lipasam that "due to the few data provided to us, it seems clear that we are facing a case in which the functions of supervision, surveillance and control have failed."

The spokeswoman for Cs in Congress presents a law to prevent impunity for escaped from Justice and another rule with an orange package of anti-corruption measures

"If seeing Oriol Junqueras saying that they will do it again does not cause Sanchez to rectify, I don't know what else has to happen in this country," lamented the president and spokesperson of the Parliamentary Group Citizens (CPGs), Inés Arrimadas, who has asked that the acting president of the government "end this shame and close the door to populism and nationalism and open it to constitutionalism." The Parliamentary spokeswoman for Citizens (Cs) has said that "what we can do is indistinguishable from what Esquerra does" because the two parties talk about political prisoners, a self-determination referendum or opening prisons.

At a press conference in Congress, Arrimadas has insisted on the ‘track 221’. "I do not trust that Sanchez change by principles, but by necessity," said the parliamentary spokeswoman of Cs, who has asked the president of the government in functions to "not press the State Advocacy" because there are already "many precedents, even purging people. "

The spokeswoman for Cs in Congress has presented the Law to Prevent Impunity for Fugitives from Justice, because "Spain must defend its democracy" and "measures must be taken so that those who want to break the country do not take advantage of the system" . "It makes no sense that a person escaped from Justice can be a candidate for elections and a public representative," said Arrimadas, who recalled that the liberal formation already registered in February 2018 this rule because the party knows "the movements of nationalism "

In addition, the president of the CPG has presented another law: “an orange package of anti-corruption measures”. "We want to protect the good and the brave who dare to denounce corruption and persecute the corrupt," said Arrimadas, who has described Cs as an "antidote to corruption.

The campaign, which will be disseminated online through the official pages and social networks of the Ministry, aims to warn of the risks to the safety and health of children that involves acquiring low-quality or defective toys. "You could be playing roulette with the safety of children," warns the central video of the campaign.

"Be wary of very low prices or juicy offers if you don't know the establishment," recommends Nelson Castro, General Director of Consumer Affairs at the Ministry of Health, Consumer Affairs and Social Welfare. "Always make purchases at trusted stores."

Castro makes a special recommendation when it comes to buying toys for children under three. "Small pieces can get stuck in the child's throat so watch that stuffed animals or toys don't have pieces that can come off."

An electronic toy that does not comply with safety regulations can cause a discharge or burns, warns the video of the campaign. In finger paints, modeling clay or slime of poor quality there may be hazardous chemicals that can be absorbed by sucking or by contact.

"We want to warn of the dangers but also to send a message of tranquility. Following some basic recommendations, the child can play safely," said Castro.

Among these recommendations, pay attention to labeling, verify that it has CE marking and distrust labeling that is not in Spanish. Also, read the safety warnings and instructions, check that the manufacturer and importer are in the box and follow the age recommendations.

It is also necessary to check the PEGI code in video games because it indicates the age at which they are directed according to their content. If the toy is much cheaper than similar ones, compare the qualities.

"We must choose toys that encourage creativity and active participation of boys and girls," says the Director General of Consumer Affairs. "The game is a form of learning."

The Center for Research and Quality Control, under the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare, has analyzed 658 suspicious toys this year, either due to irregularities in its labeling, product quality or contamination risk. Half of the toys analyzed complied with the regulations that regulate them.

González Terol demands that the director of the Lledoners jail not allow Junqueras to give a videoconference rally for the ERC congress this weekend "prostituting the General Penitentiary Law" and warns that his party will be "very attentive to denounce how many actions understand that they may violate the Criminal Code ”

  • He points out that the PP will also monitor that the rights of the convicted are not exceeded, distinctions are created or there is arbitrariness
  • Ensures that his training will try to make Puigdemont available to Spanish justice and reiterates the commitment of the PP to modify the euroorder so that fugitives investigated for sedition or rebellion are delivered, as well as that the crime of improper rebellion is again in our Criminal Code
  • Ensures that the ruling of the Court of Justice of the EU does not change the condition of convicted for sedition and embezzlement of Junqueras
  • "It is a procedural issue between two courts, the interpretation remains for them but what is not modified is the underlying issue: there were a number of politicians who embezzled and used the institutions to try to break this country and justice acted"
  • Remember that the ERC leader was convicted after a “long and guarantee process, in which all the extremes of legality were respected” “for a coup d'etat and not for a political conflict as some want to launder”
  • He explains that this ruling does not imply a blow for the Spanish justice, since it was this that raised the consultation from the Supreme Court on the condition or not of volume that Junqueras could have
  • He claims that the fact that one wins the status of MEP does not exempt him from the crime he has previously committed. "Does anyone doubt the facts proven by a crime of sedition and embezzlement for attempting a coup d'etat to our Constitution?"
  • Stresses that the PP will act in the community institutions to ensure that Junqueras fulfills all his sentence
  • Criticizes that Calvo tried yesterday to "bleach" the sentence saying that the negotiation is not considered broken and regrets that the PSOE "does not want any constitutional agreement"
  • "There is no intention of the PSOE to do anything other than put a communist vice president in the Government and agree to the breakup of Spain with ERC"
  • He emphasizes that if the PSOE wants the Constitution to be applied, it has the PP, because “it is a state party” and reminds him that he has offered Sánchez up to eleven State pacts

The spokeswoman for Cs in Congress says that "Via 221 will put in place measures to strengthen our country" and "will leave out populists and nationalists of the government"

"I have told Sánchez that, if he agrees with the nationalists and populists, he will make history for the worse, and if he follows Via 221, we will make history for the better." This is how the president and spokesperson of the Parliamentary Group Citizens (GPCs), Inés Arrimadas, politicians, intellectuals and more than 400 attendees at the meeting ‘Via 221. A constitutionalist agreement for Spain '.

Arrimadas has reflected: "What do we expect from a vice president who defends that Junqueras is a political prisoner or that Puigdemont is an exile or that in Spain there are nations and citizens of first and second?" "How are we going to ask Spain for respect if the government partners do not have it?" The president of the CPG has assured that "nationalists and populists can be left out of the government with a constitutionalist agreement."

Along these lines, the spokeswoman for Cs in Congress has explained that “Via 221 is the smartest way.” “A solo government of the PSOE with Cs and PP in the opposition, but making state agreements,” he added. Sánchez loses “precious time negotiating with those who want Spain to go wrong.” So if the 'Vía 221' becomes a reality, Arrimadas has recognized that “for the first time in democracy, we will reform matters of importance, we will decide the future of Spain, leaving aside the country of reds and blues. ”“ If we don't do it now, then it will be late, ”he stressed.

“We need moderation, build bridges, think about the future, guarantee stability; that is Via 221 ”, Arrimadas has ruled. "Together we can fight against nationalism and against populism," he added, while saying that "with 221 seats, we can put in place measures to strengthen our country and talk about conciliation, equality, pensions or education." One of the examples in which Inés Arrimadas has been arrested is that “Tomorrow Citizens will register a timely reform of the Electoral Law (LOREG) to make fugitives from Justice ineligible”
