He believes that he should have “avoided” that the situation had to end up in played
The Mayor of Santiago and current senator of the PSOE, Xosé Sánchez Bugallo, has defended this Friday that the elected councilors “enjoy respect” before appearing as a witness in the view between the direction of the local PSOE and the four mayor of the Compostela City Council expelled.
“I have been cited as a witness,” asked about the media before entering the courts, where the four expelled councilors Mila Castro, Mercedes Rosón, Gonzalo Muíños and Marta Álvarez, as well as two workers of the municipal group have arrived shortly before 10.00 hours.
Upon arrival to the Courts, where the municipal secretary of the Compostela Consistory has also attended this Thursday, Bugallo has said that he will try to answer with the “truth” and “sobriety.”
Asked if it is positioned in favor of the councilors expelled, the ex -regidor has argued that “more than positioning me with them”, what is positioned is with “a concept of politics” that he understands that in all parties there must be an organic apparatus, as “a fundamental element for operation.”
However, he has argued that “the essential part of democracy is the will of citizens” so “citizens’ elected representatives must enjoy respect” and even “important autonomy to act on behalf of the citizens who chose them.” “If we cannot transmit to society a horrific image, which I think is being transmitted to some extent,” he said.
Bugallo has lamented that “enormous distrust in political parties and institutions” is generated and has considered that “it should have been avoided” to reach the courts.
