The municipal warehouse in Mourente, owned by the Valdoviño Council, will not be auctioned. The General Treasury of Social Security confirmed this week in writing what it had already communicated by phone two weeks prior, responding to the prior claim of domain filed by the municipal secretary, proving the property's ownership with the corresponding deed.
In the council session on November 5, the municipal group of the PP had questioned the secretary's intervention, despite her affirmative responses. The mayor, Alberto González, reiterated the administrative error by Social Security and assured that, even if the auction were active, the warehouse could never be awarded due to the proven municipal ownership. He criticized the Popular Party for creating an urban planning issue from an administrative error unrelated to the Council, which the PP described as a "first-level urban scandal".
The mayor recalled that the warehouse was acquired in March 2015 from Excavaciones Saavedra, owned by a PP councilor in another municipality and occupied by a former councilor who had governed with the PP of Valdoviño. The acquisition was formalized on May 22, 2015, a few days before the municipal elections. The initial negotiation to acquire this warehouse, known as the Golpiño warehouse, had been initiated by the previous popular mayor in November 2014.
