The candidate for governance by the New Progressive Party (PNP), Pedro Pierluisisaid today that the governor Wanda Vazquez must respond to Ricardo Roselló Nevares the letter in which he questioned the whereabouts of belongings that he left in La Fortaleza after his resignation from office in the summer of 2019. In turn, he cataloged as “low politics” that the first executive involved him in the matter.
“Hey, have him answer the letter to the former governor because that is what needs to be done, clarifying what he has to clarify and that’s it. But really, bring me, grab me by the hair, but for what? That is a policy, I say, cheap, cheap, that is not done ”Pierluisi said when approached.
Last week El Nuevo Día revealed the content of a letter Rosselló sent to Vázquez Garced in which he denied that he had taken property from La Fortaleza after a complaint to the Police came to light in which the property manager In La Fortaleza, José D. Candelaria Santos, denounced the disappearance of objects from the Santa Catalina Palace, among which he highlighted a massage chair, a protective seat and three pens, all with a value of $ 14,729.45
In the letter, Rosselló Nevares demanded that Vázquez Garced publicly clarify the information, which, he alleged, was revealed with “malicious intent.” He added that it was he and his family who left items of his property, among which he mentioned a dining room set and a kayak.
He assured that they have requested the return of the belongings and that, so far, he has received no response.
“It is bordering on the ridiculous and what it denotes is like a lack of experience. Because that is almost the lowest policy, low politics. So I say that I feel sorry. Who thought to suggest that? Well, I don’t even know, ”Pierluisi said.
Vázquez Garced maintained that it is up to Rosselló Nevares and Pierluisi to explain what happened to the objects and how they used public funds. “That property did not appear, so I am going to comply because I am not going to allow doubts, in any of the people who are listening to us, where the public funds are. They have to appear or they have to say what they did with them. We will refer it to the relevant authorities and that they do the investigation, be it the Department of Justice or other agencies. We will refer it because it is up to them. I make the discovery and they investigate, “said Vázquez Garced.
Pierluisi assured that in the five days he was in La Fortaleza after Rosselló Nevares’s departure, his efforts were limited to meeting with the heads of agencies and other sectors to guarantee the continuity of government services. “Well, if everyone knows that I was there for barely five days, that the ex-governor’s move occurred before I got there, that the transition reports were requested and coordinated before I got there. When I was in La Fortaleza, there were still reports of transition and it is public because the people knew it, because I was very transparent, “he emphasized.
“I had nothing to do with it and if he ordered an inventory and an audit, well, then it will lead to a happy conclusion,” he said.
