Bestard himself admitted last Thursday that he never kept a record of which car he took or the route he took. “I didn't know it had to be done”, he justified: “The staff themselves don't do it”. According to the testimony of four workers from the island institution [who requested anonymity], it is “known” that some public employees take advantage of a lack of exhaustive control of vehicles to use them in their private lives. They specify this in two areas: Environment (led by Bestard) and Roads (dependent on Territory). “Some don't even have their own car, they use the one from work”, explains one of them.</p>]]></description>
