The Santa Lucía de Tirajana Town Hall has submitted allegations to the Contentious-Administrative Court following a report by the Public Prosecutor's Office regarding an extraordinary plenary session held on May 5th.

The judicial proceedings examine whether the right to political participation was infringed during the session, which addressed the status of several councilors. The local institution maintains that the session's conduct complied with current regulations at all times.
The controversy centers on the lack of debate regarding an item included in the agenda. According to the municipal position, the matter consisted of a rendering of accounts, a procedure that, under the law, does not require parliamentary deliberation.
The council's legal department has confirmed that the procedure followed was correct and that the information was provided in accordance with the criteria of the General Secretariat. The case is currently in the judicial processing phase, awaiting a final ruling.
