The mayor of Móstoles, Noelia Posse, yielded yesterday to the pressure of the opposition groups, including one of her government partners, Más Madrid Ganos Móstoles, of the citizens, who on Wednesday booed her during the proclamation of the festivities of the town, and its own party, the PSOE-M, and revoked the appointment of his sister, Laura, as head of the social networks of the City Council. I was going to charge 52,000 euros a year.

"The situation was already unsustainable," said party sources yesterday, where he breathed with relief upon learning of the mayor's decision. The secretary general of the PSOE-M, José Manuel Franco, had asked Posse on Wednesday night to rectify a decision that he described as "unattractive" during an interview on the Ser network. "I think that aesthetics can be done better. things, ”said Franco, who still explained that there was no“ prevarication ”or“ corruption ”in that appointment.

As this newspaper has known, it was not the first time that the party demanded it. Days before, Lorenzo Sánchez Gil, Executive Secretary of Electoral Action and person of maximum confidence of Franco, moved to the City Hall of the municipality to transfer in person to Posse the opinion of the formation, much of which he had pressed to the direction to that will take measures and will order it to rectify.

According to sources aware of what happened, Posse claimed the legitimacy of his decision and avoided throwing back the appointment "because he felt backed by Moncloa." In the party its proximity to Iván García Yustos, current Deputy Director of Cabinet of the President of the Government Pedro Sánchez is known. There is the circumstance that García Yustos was also a councilor of Móstoles, and he was immersed in a controversy in 2003 when spending 90 euros on erotic calls from a cell phone assigned to him in the Culture Area. He denied that he had made those calls, but ended up paying the amount.

Yesterday, after claiming the appointment the day before, "since it does not incur any illegality," Posse was forced to yield, according to her, in an "act of humility and sincerity." In fact, he said he did not understand the step taken now as "a rectification."

«I assume the responsibility that the citizenship grants me and I cease what I consider to be a capable, professional person and that would have been an unquestionable asset for this city. It has coincided that she is my sister, ”the mayor said yesterday in a statement, issued mid-morning.

"My sister is receiving unnecessary pressure that pushes me to make this decision recognizing that for the exercise of her responsibility she was an ideal person," the mayor reasoned about the signing. His sister's curriculum, as this newspaper proved, accredited a degree in Advertising and Public Relations at the Rey Juan Carlos University in 2009 and nine years of experience in marketing and communication working with social networks, sponsoring and web text development.

But for the opposition and his own party it was not that in question, but "the nepotism" executed with the appointment that, according to the PP, has also extended to the rise of his uncle Vicente Posse, who until June served as an officer of the Area of Culture and has now been promoted to administrative technical director of Sports, with a salary supplement of 1,607 euros per month.

The City Council avoided yesterday saying what decision they will make regarding him, but this week Posse herself defended that "she has an impeccable and undeniable sporting career."

«Tito - as the mayor referred to her uncle - has been a City Council staff for 40 years; he has not been placed by me, "he said, insisting that his appointment" is assessed by the personnel director "and" who does not meet and does not meet the requirements is not appointed. "
