Overview
- Vigo’s Junta de Gobierno Local approved a €329,000 transfer to the Entidad Local Menor de Bembrive on March 13.
- PP leader Luisa Sánchez asked Mayor Abel Caballero to order an audit and described the entity as opaque in its handling of public funds.
- Sánchez argued Bembrive has not presented budgets since 2014 and has not filed accounts with the Consello de Contas since 2017, and she cited past convictions of two former pedáneo mayors.
- City spokesman Carlos López Font said the dossier was on the meeting’s agenda, the operation complied with Galician law, and the agreement followed a favorable fiscal review.
- López Font stated the city lacks competence to audit the entity, assigning that role to the Xunta de Galicia, and he accused the PP of lying while recalling a prior PP-backed agreement with Bembrive.
