Local government in Estepona advises disregarding rumors and unverified information
Estepona Council Denies Rumors of Illegal Occupation at Beach Access Area
In a recent statement, the Estepona Council has categorically denied rumors circulating about an illegal occupation at the beach access area between Dominion Beach and El Velerín, labelling these claims as "fake news."
The council's denial comes after allegations surfaced that a local urbanisation was replacing an existing metal fence with a new wall, potentially breaching regulations. However, the council's technicians and local police have visited the site and confirmed the construction's legality, with all necessary permits in order.
Mayor José María García Urbano's administration has been the target of politically motivated misinformation campaigns lately. The council believes these rumors are spread by the opposition to undermine support for the mayor's administration.
In a positive development, the council has successfully paid off all council debt accumulated by the previous administration, reaching a significant financial milestone. This achievement allows for an average 20 per cent reduction in property tax. Mayor García Urbano highlighted this milestone, reinforcing the current administration's fiscal responsibility.
Despite the council's active communication on various matters, no direct statement about the financial milestone's timeline or progress could be found in the provided sources. The council has also not provided any information about the source or nature of the opposition spreading the rumors.
The council's statement aims to reassure residents and maintain public trust amidst the politically motivated misinformation campaigns. It is crucial for the council to address such rumors promptly to prevent any unnecessary concerns among the community.
Two recent claims directed at Mayor García Urbano were thrown out of court for lack of any evidence, further emphasising the council's commitment to transparency and adherence to the law.
The Estepona Council continues to work diligently to ensure the welfare and prosperity of its residents, and this latest denial of fake news reaffirms their dedication to truth and transparency.
