The spokesperson responds to the socialist group and reminds that the competence of inspections in tourist apartments is of the autonomous administration

Caselles: “Botanic goverment wanted Benidorm to carry out and pay for the inspections and they would keep the collection of the fines”

The spokesperson for the Benidorm government, Lourdes Caselles, has assured today that the deputy spokesperson for the socialist group, Sergi Castillo, “still has not understood where he comes from or where he is going with his party's policy”. The popular councillor has been thus blunt in responding to the press release sent by the opposition group in which it asks that the City Council increase the number of municipal inspectors when assuming the powers to inspect and sanction tourist homes that do not comply with regional regulations.

Caselles has argued her words by recalling that just over a year ago the Benidorm City Council already requested this inspection “but the Botànic government responded that the City Council had to pay for the inspections while they would keep the collection of the sanctions”.

“We did not have to resize any resources because the City Council could not assume the task they had to do. The competence of the inspection falls on the autonomous administration” the spokesperson has insisted. Now, with the new decree “the possibility of joining arises, and we have to see under what conditions we do it”. Therefore, in her opinion, “what the PSOE is doing, once again, is talking for the sake of talking”.

Lourdes Caselles has detailed in this sense that from the municipal government “we have asked to know what requirements are necessary and we have shown our interest in joining. Nothing more, but nothing less”.

The councillor has referred to the Law of Leisure, Hospitality and Tourism to specify that Benidorm “wanted to advance in this process”, but found that “the Generalitat told us that it did not have inspectors, that the City Council should put them and pay them, that we should sanction them, but that they would be the ones to manage the collection”.
Now, with the new decree “the situation has changed radically” said Caselles, who has announced that the City Council will see “how the decree evolves and we will work with the idea of ​​defending the general interest of the people of Benidorm, as we have always done”.
