El presidente de la patronal asturiana carga contra la UCEThe patronal Asturian of the construction considers that the Union of Consumers of Asturias (
UCE) has traspasado "limits" that they do not compete him and it pretends, therefore, combat his attacks with the same weapon that the association has come used: the courts. Like this it explained yesterday his president, Serafín Abilio Martínez, the demand that the organisation has presented to request the nullity of the statutes of UCE-Asturias and treat like this to brake his 'war' against the plusvalías -tribute with which taxes the development urbanístico-. The cancellation of the statutes of the UCE would comport the dissolution and back settlement of the organisation.
Abilio Martínez considers that with the campaign that the UCE set up in summer to inform to the buyers on the last judicial advances and promote the return of the tax, the association "it attacks to the constructors, does not defend to the consumers". Also it explained that "we have presented this demand by cansancio against an organisation that is permanently revolving and carries more than 15 years transmitting to the citizenship a restlessness exaggerated against the constructors", ensuring that "it is exigible that this association legalise his statutes». «We would not defend to employers that break the law".
The constructors consider that the UCE has not fulfilled the had in the organic law that from the year 2002 regulates the right of association. Said norm gave to the associations that were in force a term of two years to adapt his statutes to some new rules of operation.
