The mayor of Livestock and Finance of the City of Lorca have stressed that "the technical conditions of the fair have been the same as in other years with the difference that it has cost almost 78,000 euros less to Lorca."

The Councilors of Livestock and Finance of the City of Lorca, Antonio Navarro and Isidro Abellán, have taken stock of the recently completed edition of FERICAB that was held last week at the Fair Grounds of the Huerto de la Rueda.

As for the numbers the mayor of Livestock has indicated that "this year, the cost of FERICAB has been 115,200 euros, while last year's edition reached 192,000 euros, that is, we are talking about a reduction by 40 per hundred in the cost of celebration. "

Navarro has reiterated that "despite having cost less, this year's edition has been held in the same venue as in 2018 and has had the same competitions as the High School for which there has been a total of 28 registered, in the Dressage 27 and the Morphological for which the figure of 100 horses was reached. "

For his part, the mayor has reiterated that the technical conditions of the fair have been the same as in previous editions with the great difference that "FERICAB has cost Lorca and Lorca almost 78,000 euros less than last year."

Abellán has put some of the examples in which costs have been reduced, such as "the fact of assuming the City Council directly the management of this fair which has meant a saving of administrative expenses of 60 percent, from 15,000 euros to 6,200 Euros Another of the cases are veterinary services that have dropped from 2,600 euros to 500 euros this year; private surveillance expenses that reached almost 5,000 euros in the previous edition, this year have been zero cost thanks to the City Council agreement with the security company that provides the services. In printing costs of 4,600 euros last year, this edition has been 1,100, 76% less, the fair having the same diffusion. "

The councilor of the Treasury has insisted that "the same can be done with less money, that is, there are other ways of managing that we have been saying for a long time and that we are now demonstrating since we have less money so we have to sharpen the ingenuity" .

Isidro Abellán has referred to "the savings that would have been the management of FERICAB in the last 12 years if it had corresponded directly to the Consistory," whose Government Team has said, "has a management capacity that the previous government team has not he knew how to develop, that he preferred to give the money to private entities to organize the events. We are more to roll up and go down to the sand so that the cost is lower for the municipal coffers. "

Both councilors have indicated that "this year savings measures have been carried out, but next year with more time they will apply better" and they have been happy with the result and the success that this edition of the fair has had.
