The Social Court No. 2 of Santa Cruz de Tenerife has issued a sentence condemning the Municipal Society of Housing and Services of San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Muvisa) to readmit Silvestre Suárez Fernández because his dismissal was executed irregularly and for political reasons. In the judgment, to which the SER has had access, it is related how the plaintiff, at the time former councilor of the Canary Coalition during the stage in which he was mayor, Elfidio Alonso, carried out tasks of coordination of the replacement and redevelopment project of the prickly pears. This work was carried out from February 1, 2012 with a validity until the end of service.
The numerous delays and delays in signing the agreements meant that seven years elapsed without the works being started, but even so, and despite the fact that, in that circumstance, Muvisa had to qualify the employment relationship as indefinite, the plaintiff was dismissed when he held the presidency of the mentioned entity, Santiago Pérez. In addition to this irregular aspect, it is striking that the judge considers that the dismissal was due to political issues and takes into account the statements of the former CEO of Muvisa, Javier Abreu, who made allusions to the work of Silvestre Suárez Fernández in relation to to his membership in the Canary Coalition, going so far as to say that he was a “plugged in” to DC and that “it would be a serious mistake to put the wolf to take care of the chickens”. For all these reasons, the judge considers that there is an indexical panorama that allows us to conclude that “the worker’s political past and his status as a member of the Canary Coalition were the real reasons for the decision taken.” Likewise, it should be noted that in the summons the Public Prosecutor’s Office wanted to limit its intervention to the alleged violation of the right to equality in its political affiliation aspect. “Against the sentence, an appeal is made before the TSJC.
