- Albacete The mayor knew the leak of exams of the opposition to the Local Police to his adviser since October
- The message "I'm offered the police exam... And I'm not going to turn it down."
The mayor of Albacete, the socialist Emilio Sáez, has today broken the government pact he had with Citizens since the beginning of the mandate, after the coordinator of Citizens in Castilla-La Mancha, Carmen Picazo, has announced that the pact would be broken if Sáez did not resign this Tuesday.
In a press release, Sáez has communicated the rupture of the government pact with Citizens, after Picazo has said, in a press conference on Tuesday: "Lying is a form of corruption and we do not deserve a corrupt mayor."
Picazo has alluded to the information published on Tuesday by EL MUNDO, according to which Sáez would have been aware of the possible access of his former adviser to the entrance exams to the Local Police in October, four months before what transcended to public opinion, a case that was filed by the Prosecutor's Office after being investigated.
The socialist mayor has even advanced that he will file a complaint for these statements, since in his opinion "this accusation is an insulting slander of the regional head of Citizens."
According to Picazo, Sáez "lied to all Albacete and this is intolerable" and has asked for the resignation of Sáez and has advanced that, in case he did not, his training would leave the local government in compliance with the code of ethics.
In the 2019 elections, PSOE obtained nine councilors and CS, four councilors. Both parties signed a government agreement, through which the orange formation had the Mayor's Office of the city from mid-2019 to mid-2021 and, since then, Emilio Sáez has been mayor, who will now govern alone, in the absence of a month before the municipal elections are held.
