The PSOE will ask in plenary for the deadlines for the completion of the Central Round and the Auditorium, and again demand the request for a new extension to the EIB so as not to jeopardize the projects still pending, whose funding hangs in a thread by the planning that the PP has made of the works "a salto de mata"

The candidate for Mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos will ask Gil Jódar to clarify in the Plenary "what timeframes are planned to finish pending works under the loan granted by the European Investment Bank" and also ask if the Autonomous Community has requested a new extension to extend this loan and not lose funding for the works still pending.

"If they have not done it yet, we do not know what they expect to demand from Lopez Miras to work on a new extension."

"The Lorca do not deserve to miss the historic opportunity to see these projects completed taking advantage of this extraordinary financing, which Lorca received from Europe as a result of misfortune as were the earthquakes," says Mateos.

"It would be a tremendous irresponsibility, on the part of the local and regional administration to lose this opportunity".

Mateos returned to show his concern for the "paralysis and delay" that affects a good part of the projects whose financing "hangs by a thread" as it is subject to the term set by Europe, and which he recalls, "expires on December 31" .

"They have had plenty of time, and now we have the doubt that many of them run out of funding."

Mateos recalled that since 2007 the Central Round project is on the table, of which 12 years later "they have only been able to execute a section of the total of four".

"Section 1 of the Round began to be tendered in 2016, that is, more than three years ago." The project proposed by the modification of the route, which will affect the passage of the AVE, "has been transacted for seven months, and therefore It is still paralyzed. "As for section 2, the section on the bridge over the Guadalentín River, it was awarded and subsequently the total temporary suspension of the execution of the works was agreed, which have been paralyzed for three months." And what to say of section 3, the one that affects the bridge of La Torta, of which there are only announcements, but not a single project on the table ".

To the uncertainty of the Central Round project, which Mateos considers "vital" for the development of the city, and for which he insists, "the logical thing is that it would have been finished first, even before the works in the rest of the neighborhoods , so that citizens had an alternative way to circulate to save traffic chaos in the center, "to all this" are added the doubts about the project of the Auditorium, which is only the shell, and which is followed not knowing when they intend to undertake the interior conditioning of the Auditorium ".

In view of the "worrying" silence that the Popular Party maintains in relation to these matters that Mateos, insists, "are strategic for the present and future of Lorca", the PSOE will force the PP to answer in the Plenary "what time frames for initiate and finish pending projects, what degree of implementation are those that are underway ", in addition to the requirement that, as soon as possible, the CARM request a new extension to the European Investment Bank so that Lorca does not lose this" historic opportunity " "to undertake all pending projects.
