The deputy spokesman Socialist, Marisol Sanchez, has begun his appearance before the media saying that "rebuilding the city after the terrible earthquake last May 11, is making certain harmful effects emerge for local companies in the construction industry and its workers . Over 40% of companies working in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of buildings affected by the earthquakes are foreign. This contrasts sharply with the figures of unemployment in our town, in the construction sector, affecting more than a thousand Lorca. That is, the logical increase in the volume of works to develop after the earthquake, is having little impact on the drop in unemployment in Lorca. "

Sanchez has reported that "in May 2011, there were 1256 workers unemployed construction in Lorca. Currently the figure stands at 1.114 (data Regional Employment and Training in the Region of Murcia). That is, in the construction sector, unemployment has fallen just 12% in Lorca after the earthquakes, which in practice translates into 142 jobs created. Instead, have multiplied exponentially the works developed in the city. In fact, 1,717 municipal buildings were affected by earthquakes and require reconstruction and repair. You need to be denied and incompetent to present the numbers of unemployment in the construction sector having a city in reconstruction and rehabilitation " .

The mayor Lorca has stressed that "the special conditions being experienced by our municipality and the high demand for work has been a breeding ground for some companies have introduced predatory prices or even offer their services without complying with current legislation labor and tax. This affects significantly the interests of a majority of local businesses that meet their tax obligations and labor and have to deal with unfair competitors who break the rules ".

Social responsibility has stressed that "for all these reasons, we consider trade-offs rather than Local Government for the purpose of a necessary regulation of the sector and promoting jobs that offer opportunities for thousands of Lorca and lorquinas unemployed. To do this, we propose the implementation by the City of a "Business Showcase" through which-and voluntarily-lorquinas companies can adhere to a platform from which to offer their services to the citizens of Lorca advantageous terms. The implementation of this program would impact favorably on hiring local companies with a consequent positive impact on the local economy and creating jobs. "

Jódar Sanchez has listed the requirements for joining the project "1 ° That the company was based in the town of Lorca. 2 ° Justified by the necessary documentation to be aware of the tax liability, labor and Social Security (combatiríamos high impact of the economy). 3 ° Accepting a price range set from the municipal administration, which previously have heard the view of business organizations and workers involved in the sector.

Finally, Marisol Sanchez remarked the benefits that companies would get "part of an advertising campaign promoted by the City of Lorca through the local media of social communication. Through-promote itself and would be released to the citizens the benefits of hiring these companies (ensuring that the company you hire is familiar with tax obligations and labor of its workers, guaranteed to be contributing to the economic recovery of Lorca lorquinas hiring companies, guaranteed to be accessing a services through fair prices). For the sake of participation, this initiative was carried out in collaboration with Chamber of Commerce, Ceclor, AJE, unions and other stakeholders who needed to incorporate. "
