The mayor assured that he cannot be false and invite the president or his ministers.
The Presidency of the Republic and the City Council of Buenos Aires are preparing independent solemn sessions for the 489 years of Guayaquil Foundation. From Carondelet an event is planned to take place at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 25 at the Eloy Alfaro Civic Center (south), while the Mayor’s Office will hold its event that same day at 6:30 p.m. in the Crystal Palace (center-south).
The mayor of Guayaquil, in his radio link this Wednesday, July 17, completely ruled out that the Municipality will invite the President of the Republic, Daniel Noboaor any senior official of his Administration.
“We cannot be false. There is no good relationship. We are not going to invite anyone from the Government to the Guayaquil Festivities,” said the councilor.
The complaint filed by the Agency for the Regulation and Control of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources against the mayor of Guayaquil, his two brothers and others for alleged Irregular fuel trade has widened the gap between the head of state and the mayor, who already had a distant relationship for various reasons.
For example, last October, during the solemn session for the Independence of Guayaquil, Álvarez was upset because Noboa, who was still a candidate for the Presidency, did not attend the event that had been organized by the Mayor’s Office.
In addition, Alvarez pointed out that the ADN militancy (the political organization founded by Noboa) held a political rally very close to the ceremony. For him that was “a lack of respect.” That day Noboa was not even present. Guayaquil.
Another disagreement between the president and the mayor was over the Fifth Bridge project.
One day after assuming power, Noboa issued a decree repealing a provision of his predecessor, Guillermo Lasso. The former president had transferred the responsibility for the construction of the Fifth Bridge to the Municipality of Guayaquil. Álvarez even went to the Carondelet Palace (Quito) for the signing ceremony of the decree.
Noboa did not explain why he repealed the document. Alvarez, however, said it was “a sad decision.”. “I hope that arrogance does not become the driving force of this government.“, he wrote then.
