Gloria Martín: "Let Fernando López Miras or the Regional Assembly do it, but this body should not take a profile on an issue that affects a thousand families in Lorca, otherwise they will force us to urge the President of the Government of Spain or its ministers to request an opinion from the State Council and to request a hearing as interested It is very sad that we have to resort to these instances because the regional administration and the bodies that must ensure its proper functioning ignore the citizens. We only have to ask for intercession from the Pope of Rome. "
The councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes, Gloria Martin, has denounced that, contrary to what was assured to those affected by the return of aid from the 2011 earthquakes, the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia not only has not paralyzed the administrative procedure of reimbursement of subsidies, but has been sent notifications to those affected in a "massive" way during the months of vacation.
Martin explained that 235 affected have been surprised that their names appear in the Official State Gazette of July 9 and 17 and August 3.
These are people who had left relatives in charge of checking their mailboxes or who returned weekly to Lorca to do it personally and who have "no sad warning" from the private company that is in charge of making the notifications.
Paradoxically, those who have not left Lorca during the summer have no record that they have tried to contact them to deliver the letters.
"Nobody wakes up in the morning and starts reading the BOE with coffee, which is an act of bad faith that prevents the victims from using the legal deadlines to formulate allegations," he said.
The mayor of IU-Greens has ensured that in some complete files that have requested Murcia do not record the two notification attempts necessary before the publication in the BOE.
"The Administration can not prove that it has complied with the law, so it is practicing irregular notifications, causing defencelessness to those affected by preventing them from having knowledge of the administrative acts that affect them," Martín said.
Therefore, from IU-Greens recommend to the people appearing in the BOE to request the Ministry of Development full copy of your file to verify the entire procedure and appeal the notification by edicts that should be understood as "not produced" and, for both, without effects, if irregularities are detected.
Martín described the performance of the regional administration as "abuse" and another turn of the screw that adds more anxiety and more despair to those affected.
"What are they playing?" That the neighbors do not have options to defend themselves before receiving the dreaded Treasury payment letter of urgency?
IU requires that the Legal Council of the Region of Murcia be consulted on the prescriptions
Gloria Martin also showed his surprise because the Legal Council of the Region of Murcia is not considered legitimate to rule on what is the way adjusted to the law to proceed with the calculation of the prescription of the right of the CARM to claim the return of aid .
"We believe that the consultation has sufficient legal entity, which is within the powers of this body and that, in addition, its opinion would be useful to set an administrative precedent in the face of similar situations," said Martin.
"If nobody explains to CARM how things should be done, in the future they will repeat the same mistakes because we will not have learned anything from the tragedy," added the mayor of IU-Greens.
Martín explained that the intention of the Platform of affected and IU "is not that the Council decides on the management of ordinary administrative matters of the CARM", which is what this body alleges to deny the request for optional consultation made by City Hall.
"We want, simply, to clarify if the beginning of the prescription takes place from the moment the deadline for submitting the justification by the beneficiary expires, as we defend and as established by the general and regional grant laws", He said.
Therefore, from Izquierda Unida, they ask the Government of Fernando López Miras and the Regional Assembly, which are also authorized to request an opinion from the Legal Council, to promote a new consultation.
"We believe that the Legal Council of the Region of Murcia should not put itself in profile in an issue that affects a thousand families in Lorca," said Martin, who added that "must pronounce and settle on this issue because that is what the superior advisory body in matters of government and administration of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and must serve objectively and independently, in accordance with the Constitution and the Laws ".
Gloria Martín announced that if the new consultation does not take place, "they will oblige us to urge the President of the Government of Spain or his ministers to request an opinion from the State Council and to request a hearing as interested parties."
"It is very sad that we have to resort to these instances because the regional administration and the organs that must ensure its proper functioning ignore the citizens," said Martin who said that "we can only ask the Pope for intercession in Rome."
Finally, Martín regretted that, contrary to what was announced to the media, the form is still not available so that those affected can justify their aid through a simplified account, as approved by Law 8/2018 last month. July.
"Now they tell us that it will not be until the end of the week and that those affected will not be able to freely access this document."
"We strongly deny that only those who are selected by the earthquake office can avail themselves of this route of justification," warned Martin, who said that "we will remove Rome with Santiago if necessary but we will not allow them to make something exclusive. that was sold to those affected as a general solution.
