The spokesperson for EUPV in the town hall, María Ángeles Cortijo, has repeatedly requested documentation related to the La Paz urbanization Partial Plan, without receiving a response. The initial request dates back to November 17, and despite two subsequent demands, the documentation has not been made available to her.
Esquerra Unida points out that the mayor, Salvador Costa, signed mayoral resolution no. 1072/2025, expressly authorizing electronic access to the documentation. Given the lack of execution, a second request was submitted, to which the mayor responded with a new resolution —no. 1115/2025, dated December 5— ordering administrative services to make the documentation available to the councilor. However, four months later, neither of the two orders has been executed.
“"Information is not being denied; the documentation is being sought, but it is not easy. It is not a one-day job. It must be taken into account that the municipal archive has been changed three times and that the requested documentation is not digitized and is more than 50 years old, so it requires time and we cannot paralyze the town hall for these things, because there is also no capacity."
The information requested by EUPV includes planning maps of the 1967 Partial Plan, plenary agreements for land transfer, and accreditation of municipal ownership of Urban Park no. 4 "Barranco de la Maladitxa". These documents are considered essential to understand the legal and urban situation of the urbanization and to defend the interests of its residents.
The Popular Party of Gilet has also filed a formal complaint with the General Directorate of Local Administration for a "systematic blockade" of the opposition's work. The spokesperson for the PP, Francisco Fabuel, has criticized the mayor for continuing to deny information despite the warning from the Síndic de Greuges (Ombudsman), who reminded him of the legal obligation to cooperate and warned that the lack of response violates the right to access public information.
“"The mayor says in the press that he does not block anyone, but his own resolutions have been pending execution for more than four months. The right to information of councilors is not exercised through informal talks; it is exercised through real access to official files, as recognized by his own orders."
Fabuel has also lamented that the socialist government has made extraordinary and urgent plenary sessions a regular practice to prevent residents' intervention and opposition oversight, by sending documentation late and mostly incorrectly. He stressed that, as of April, not a single ordinary plenary session has been held, which he considers a lack of planning.
