Carmen Vega Fournier confirms a PPD referral over the Escambrón parking lot

On July 30, 2026, NotiCel reports that Comptroller Carmen Vega Fournier confirmed that her office received the referral from the Popular Democratic Party spokesperson in the San Juan Municipal Legislature, Ingrid Colberg Rodríguez, who asked for an investigation and special audit of the lease and operation of the Escambrón parking lot. The referral, filed July 28, includes 14 alleged new irregularities related to the contract in force, which add to questions about the proposed multilevel parking garage.

Carmen Vega Fournier, in written remarks, confirms the referral on authorizations, extensions, and proposals for the lease and operation of the El Escambrón / Parque del Tercer Milenio recreation area. She asserts it will be handled with rigor, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality. The evaluation could include the complete file and compliance with the Municipal Code, the Office of the Comptroller Act, and public-administration, auction, and transparency rules. Because it is a preliminary stage, the Office will not issue anticipated judgments or additional comments until that evaluation is finished.

NotiCel does not publish the 14 irregularities or the contractor's name. Receipt of the referral stands. This magazine does not invent them. Miguel Romero Lugo, mayor of San Juan, does not answer in this piece. Ingrid Colberg Rodríguez appears as the one who files; Carmen Vega Fournier, as the one who receives.

On July 29, the same comptroller referred to Justice the uninstalled Vieques pier. Two days, two municipalities, two genres: a closed audit finding and a referral in preliminary evaluation. They are not fused. It is also not mixed with CRIM and the 55,000 John Does of the 29th.

The reader who wants the written remarks has the NotiCel URL at the foot. This is not original reporting.
