Businessman Juan Manuel Pérez has given the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council an ultimatum to review the selection process for 13 Local Police officer positions, warning that if not addressed by April 21, he will file a complaint with the Prosecutor's Office.

Juan Manuel Pérez has formally reiterated his request to the council to review ex officio the selection process launched in 2021. He claims it contains “serious irregularities” that could lead to the radical nullity of the actions, which resulted in five officers taking up their posts.
Furthermore, Pérez urges the immediate and precautionary suspension of the latest public employment offer concerning three sub-inspector positions, which could be affected by these events. The local government, however, has clarified that these positions have not yet been announced.

"He possesses additional evidentiary elements of particular gravity that he is currently reserving, which could lead to criminal charges for alleged prevarication by omission and inaction."

The businessman has also warned that he will resort to administrative litigation due to the administration's inaction, as he has not received a response to his initial complaint filed last December. He also stated his intention to approach the Court of Accounts regarding alleged accounting irregularities.
Among the irregularities alleged by Pérez are the complete omission of mandatory medical examinations, the possible existence of false or manipulated medical certificates, and alleged acts of prevarication by inaction, influence peddling, and disclosure of secrets due to an alleged leak of selective tests and a lack of verification of psychophysical requirements mandated by regional regulations.
The complaint is addressed to the mayor, with a request for copies to be provided to the spokespersons of the other three plenary groups, the acting secretary, and the comptroller. As of now, he is unaware if they have received it, including former mayor Conchi Narváez, who has reportedly requested it in writing.
