The victims of the earthquake in Lorca will maintain the confinement until the signing of a protocol that establishes a deadline for the closing of the files before 6 months (25/10/2018)

Gloria Martín: "We are fully aware that what has not been done in seven years can not be done in two days, but the regional government now has the opportunity to demonstrate that, within a reasonable period of time, it can end suffering of the victims

The councilor of Izquierda Unida Verdes and representative of the platform affected by the return of aid from the earthquakes of Lorca, Gloria Martin, announced that the victims of the earthquakes will prolong their confinement in the City Council until the signing of a protocol with the Ministry of Finance of the regional government, so that the commitments announced orally today by the counselor Patricio Valverde, are reflected by writings.

"We trust Valverde's goodwill, but the same promises later unfulfilled have already been heard by his predecessors, so we need that endorsement to be able to leave the encierro" said the mayor.

Martin has ensured that today a draft of the protocol will be ready, which could be signed in the coming days.

The document will guarantee that the Tax Agency will withdraw the orders of urgency to the files to which the provisions of Law 8/2018, of aid from Lorca and which were threatened by imminent embargo, are applicable.

"It does not make any sense that, due to the lack of coordination of the Administration, the Treasury seizes those affected who have requested to take advantage of this Law, in force since July," said Martín.

The platform will request that efforts be redoubled and that the application of the regulation and the closing of the files be streamlined in an "agile and gradual" manner.

"We are fully aware that what has not been done in seven years can not be done in two days, but the regional government now has the opportunity to demonstrate that, within a reasonable period of time that can not be extended beyond six months, it can end the suffering of the victims, "said Martín.

For this, they will urge the regional government and the City Council to "increase human resources" to complete the justification procedures.

In this regard, he recalled that people who have lost their bills, should request a municipal technical inspection to prove that they used the aid money in the rehabilitation of their homes.

A report that is complemented with a simplified memory, as established by Law 8/2018.

The mayor of IU-Greens has also reported that there has been a "giant step" in the resolution of the problem that affects the neighbors who received both compensation from the Insurance Compensation Consortium as public aid.

The law establishes that both concepts are compatible, provided that the sum of both amounts does not exceed the "real cost" of the works.

However, the criterion applied until now by the Administration was that the limit of expenditure was fixed in the appraisal value of the damages made by the CARM experts.

Inexplicably, those affected have not had access to said expert report and were never informed by letter of the concrete reparations they had to carry out.

The neighbors received a simple notification in which they were informed of the granting of a grant for a certain amount and, after a while, the money was received.

It was then when, in particular, they hired the services of companies so that they could execute the repair works, without these also receiving instructions or technical specifications.

Martín has assured that the neighbors have the spirit "intact", although the body a little bit already milled.

"They want to write the epilogue of a tragedy whose consequences continue to drag on almost eight years later and that can not continue omnipresent in their day to day," he said.

"We Lorca deserve to turn the page and not live with our hearts in a fist thinking at what time, the help that one day served them to return home, today are a heavy slab that for some supposes the family economic ruin".

Finally, he thanked, on behalf of those affected, the expressions of affection and support received from Lorca society and the media.
