López lamented that Balderas made public statements demanding the payment of the 457,537.66 euros owed, knowing that this payment was already included in the agenda for the upcoming Municipal Plenary session, scheduled for Thursday, June 25. According to the mayor, the governing team has worked for months to settle this debt, and the file was already closed and processed.
The Councilor for Economy and Finance, Daniel Aguilera, supported López's statements, emphasizing the transparency of municipal economic management and accusing the PP of "alarming lack of rigor" and "cheap electoralism" by attempting to create false pressure on an issue already resolved by the City Council's technicians.
Furthermore, the mayor recalled that La Zubia, having surpassed 20,000 inhabitants, has assumed direct responsibility for fire prevention and extinction services, incurring an annual cost of nearly half a million euros. Regarding the Granada Provincial Council's decision to build a new fire station in the metropolitan area, which will ultimately be located in Ogíjares, López demanded technical criteria over "political favoritism".
The mayor criticized the stance of Ángel Balderas and other members of the local PP for "turning their backs on their own neighbors" by publicly congratulating Ogíjares on receiving the fire station, suggesting their decision might be influenced by their recent hiring by the Granada Provincial Council as trust-based positions. López affirmed she will maintain her formal demand to the Provincial Council for the infrastructure to be allocated to La Zubia based on "technical reasons".
