The secretary general of the PSOE in Lorca, Diego Ferrer, said that "however hard they try this Mayor is not going to silence our voice is the voice of Lorca and Lorca 15,228 who voted for us in 2007."
They appealed to the secretary general of the PSOE "to help us continue to defend pluralism, democracy and the interest of Lorca"
The general secretary of the PSOE in Lorca, Diego Ferra, said today the mayor's plan cuts the PP, Francisco Jodar is the result of improvisation and contains measures "and not unpopular but undemocratic, that seriously undermine citizen participation."
Ferra regretted that consensus has broken Jódar institutional opposition groups and "what is worse, with the town's social fabric."
The Socialist leader said that measures have been taken first mayor in a "totally one-sided" and that Jódar lied when he said in the media with political groups consensuaría measures cut plan.
Ferra said that under the guise of austerity PP Mayor used to prime the PSOE and try to limit the work of local opposition.
However, was particularly outraged that the decisions of Jódar "limit the ability of the associative action" while keeping wasteful spending and unnecessary as the basis for local television.
In addition, the plan will involve job losses in the municipal structure but charges remain freely appointed as the manager of Planning whose salaries amount to 72,000 per year.
The secretary general of the Socialist Lorca said that in 30 years of democratic history, the City has ever seen in a similar situation and blamed Jódar of being "the welfare state killing of Lorca."
In that sense said that this is by far the "Lorca worst mayor ever had."
Straight, recalled that the PSOE has three years denouncing the ineffectiveness of the Mayor and noting that the municipality would Jódar the "bankrupt" if not on track management.
Dissolution of municipal bodies
In the detailed analysis of the measures, Ferra called "caciques" the dissolution of the eight autonomous bodies of the Consistory and with the excuse of the economic crisis Jódar "annihilate the spaces of participatory democracy that had the town."
The PSOE leader criticized that has destroyed Jódar organizations that are authentic to the Lorca institutions "such as IMJUDE or the Council of Women, and with the participation of the Federation of Neighborhood Associations, the Women's Organizations, Youth Council, sports associations, or political groups.
In that sense said it was "a blow to democracy in Lorca and Lorca Jódar intends to turn his farm in particular by hindering citizens and opposition parties would audit and monitor their performance.
Cut to social groups
Regarding the 50 percent reduction in subsidies to associations, citizen groups and festivals, Ferra said that this has not led to any effort that takes time Jódar and "despicable" and "attacking" the city neighborhood associations and social and cultural events and neighborhood councils.
The PSOE leader recalled that the City "has never given anything to the neighbors" because the popular festivals are paid with tax money of Lorca.
Therefore, he demanded Jódar to stop treating people "like grateful stomachs," something he considered an "intolerable lack of respect that we will not tolerate."
In this regard, Ferra said "we'll be watching to see the distribution of grants made to groups, because it seems that when municipal funds are intended to associations related to PP does not hurt your pocket or put qualms" .
Straight, pointed out that there are associations deans that "the look and want them to get aid from the City," while newly established associations related to the PP "celebrate their holidays in full swing, with tents, beer and lemonade, rice multitudinous , shows several and even chemical toilets. "
NGO'S
Jódar ensures that there were NGOs that subsidy will no longer have it, and others will see it increased.
In that sense, Ferra wondered how ethical and moral authority feels the Mayor of PP to accept some projects and not others when all these organizations working for the underprivileged of our city.
It also expressed concern about whether the approach to be followed in the allocation of subsidies is the political affinity as with the neighborhood associations.
MUNICIPAL SERVICES
Ferra on municipal services described as "regrettable" that Jódar think off streetlights on rural roads when citizens of the previous councils and municipal corporations have been at pains to equate the effort to get municipal services in rural areas to the center of the city.
Qualified this as a serious attack on the residents of the provincial and reverse the conquests of the inhabitants of these areas.
In this regard, he wondered why the PP has provided an important part of Plan E to the installation of street lighting in some areas to now have the streetlights turned off or on when you see fit.
Regarding the Christmas lights Ferra said that if Jódar year tenure has been characterized by a Lorca "sad and soulless Christmas this year may be" to forget ".
The Socialist leader lamented that instead of adopting measures to promote tourism and trade in this period, Jódar is throwing stones at small businesses and family business in Lorca.
URBAN MANAGEMENT
Regarding the suppression of the Planning Department, Ferra warned that "Jódar load the main revenue-generating agency of the City" while expressing his outrage that remain on the payroll of one of the most responsible for his demise, in reference to his manager, Manuel Alfonso Guerrero, former general director of Housing and Urban Development of the Autonomous Community and charged by the town of La Zerrichera scandal.
Ferra recalled that once, when he was appointed against the advice of the PSOE, Jódar praised the capabilities of Guerrero and endorsed him personally.
For three years, Guerrero has been charging € 72,000 annual charge of Lorca as a result of its management is clinched the Planning Department, a debacle that also came warning the PSOE.
Ferra criticized over the past three years the management activity has fallen by 60%, however, the PP has increased staffing in this area in more than 20%, which he called "genuine waste".
Also referred to the improvisation of the Mayor who "last month requires an amendment to the statutes of the management to charge the agency next month."
SUVILOR
The general secretary of the PSOE in Lorca said, "As socialists we've got a solution SUVILOR but lying if we said that we did not see coming."
Ferra recalled that the PSOE created and encouraged a public company with the noble aim of facilitating access to housing for Lorca.
However, in just three years Jódar "has paid for demolition."
He said that the Socialists had many months denouncing the "dismantling technical" SUVILOR by the PP government team.
In fact, since the arrival of Francisco Jódar for mayor three years ago has not materialized, nor a single housing development for young people or disadvantaged groups.
By contrast, during the last legislature of 141 homes were completed PSOE public promotion and left in a close project or other 297.
With the PP SUVILOR has failed to fulfill even one of its objectives and has suffered a sharp decline in their budgets (from 5.2 million in 2008 to a meager 320,414 euros for 2010).
Therefore, Ferra said he regretted that we can face the PP next year will default to 100% of its housing program to municipal promotion.
CULTURAL COUNCIL DIRECTOR DISMISSAL
The Socialist Party welcomed the dismissal of the Director of the Council of Culture and Celebration "that we do not know what has worked in the past three years," Ferra said although "we would have liked Jódar had done when we said it before Espirelia loading and cultural activity which was regarding Lorca regional, national and even international. "
SALARY REDUCTION COUNCIL MEMBERS AND SENIOR
Jódar announces it will reduce by between 7 and 9% the salary of council members and officials, not 15% as demanded the PSOE.
"Once again, Jódar used different yardsticks when it comes to belt-tightening, you do not mind lower than 50 percent grants to associations, citizen groups and NGOs, but he only fell by 9%," said Ferra.
PROTOCOL TO CUT COSTS, ADVERTISING AND PHONE
The PSOE was in favor of spending cuts protocol, advertising and telephone although described as "inadequate."
Regarding mobile phone spending Ferra criticized the 10% reduction announced by Jódar, when the PSOE was asked to establish a maximum consumption cap of 100 euros per month, just as in the Regional Assembly.
On the official car, the secretary general of the PSOE in Lorca denounced the deception that has undergone Jódar citizenship and announced to great fanfare that it had removed this expense when the truth is that the game is referred to in the 2010 municipal budget and increased by 20%.
EXCLUSIVE DEDICATION OF ALDERMEN
Ferra recalled that the PSOE was the first to ask for a reduction of the council who hold full-time.
In that sense said that in times of crisis politicians should be the first to lead by example.
However, the Mayor has used this proposal to prime the Municipal Socialist Group, according to Ferra.
And the only releases that are deleted from the PSOE councilors, while the mayors of PP remain in the same situation.
The Socialist leader said that the measure is disproportionate and again Jódar party to put the interest of the citizens of Lorca because "if you really want to be efficient also to reduce the number of councilors released Government team."
Ferra stated that it is unacceptable that a council which has been emptied of powers Jódar will continue to exercise full time.
This applies, for example, the Councillor for Culture and Celebrations, Rosa Medina.
After Espirelia finalize the Lorca Rock, the City Council and Cultural Festival and halving subsidies for festivals, the councilor is released, another goes for the Mayor Councillor, Mari Carmen Ruiz, whose functions can be fully absorbed by Social Services, according to the PSOE.
The same is said about Melchor Morales councilman whose main responsibilities are assumed by the Water Board and LIMUSA Lorca.
Unfortunately, according to the PSOE, Jódar not willing to restructure his government team to save resources to Lorca and the only thing that matters is "weakening the principal opposition party annihilating human resources," said Socialist leader Lorca .
In this regard, Ferra said Jódar is wrong because the council of the Socialist Group, released or not, "we will continue working with the same intensity representing the citizens of our municipality."
The Socialist leader said that "however hard they try this Mayor is not going to silence our voice is the voice of Lorca and Lorca 15,228 who voted for us in 2007."
They appealed to the secretary general of the PSOE "to help us continue to defend pluralism, democracy and the interest of Lorca."
