Juan Carlos Zurek challenges La Molina management transfer process

Juan Carlos Zurek, the mayor-elect of La Molina, has raised concerns regarding irregularities in the municipal management transfer process. Zurek claims the current procedures do not align with the regulations set by the Comptroller General of the Republic.

A primary point of contention is the authority of the official who convened the first virtual meeting scheduled for Tuesday, the 10th. Zurek argues that Walter Moreyra Arone, the head of the council secretariat, is not an accredited member of the Outgoing Titleholder Transfer Team (ETTS). According to Comptroller Directive No. 016-2022, this responsibility should fall to the municipal management rather than a subordinate official.

In a formal document, Zurek requested that the virtual meeting be canceled in favor of an in-person meeting on Monday, the 9th, to ensure transparency. There is also a dispute regarding legal deadlines, as the current administration does not recognize the Municipal Worker's Day on Thursday, the 5th, as a non-working day, whereas Zurek's team maintains it should not suspend the computation of legal periods.
