The public prosecutor has filed a complaint against Luis Ibarra, the former president of the Port Authority of Las Palmas, over the appointment of the new Human Resources manager.
Ibarra allegedly breached procedural rules when he appointed the manager without proper oversight. The complaint is part of a broader investigation into potential irregularities within the authority.
Ibarra claims the appointment was conducted according to usual practices, stating, “That’s how it’s always been done.” However, the prosecutor argues that the process must be more transparent to ensure accountability.
This case highlights ongoing concerns regarding governance at the Port Authority, which is crucial for both local commerce and tourism. The investigation is expected to examine whether established protocols were ignored in favour of expediency.
Further developments are anticipated as the authorities pursue their inquiry into the matter.
