L.A. City Council President Paul Krekorian said the council might consider taking more forceful action against a small group of protesters who have disrupted meetings for several weeks demanding the resignation of Councilman Kevin de León.
Los Angeles City Council President Paul Krekorian said Friday that the council might consider taking more forceful action against a small group of protesters who have disrupted meetings for several weeks demanding the resignation of Councilman Kevin de León.
"We want to make sure that people have an opportunity to speak, to fully participate in their city government. But having the opportunity to speak does not mean that you have the right to stop other people from speaking,'' he added. "You don't have the fight to shut down the city council, and many of the people who have come into the Council Chambers have the sole purpose of shutting down the council, and I won't allow that to happen.
De León has resisted intense pressure from city colleagues, state and national elected officials and activists to resign ever since a leaked audio was released of an October 2021 conversation about redistricting that featured the councilman and others using racial slurs and blunt talk of political power grabs that has roiled the city for months.
