Pedro Sosa, left-wing city councilor Unida Verdes in the municipality of Lorca, has joined the initiative that his party is presenting at the regional level in defense of the maintenance of Civil Registries, which with the entry into force on June 30, 2020 Law 20/2011, of the Civil Registry, may only serve in locations greater than 500,000 inhabitants.
The Civil Registry of Lorca, whose powers correspond to Court No. 3, provides, according to the Bar Association, 30,000 people a year, many of whom will have to move to Murcia when it comes into force next year.
"It is a nonsense that the Administration away from the citizen, when it should be the other way around," said the mayor, especially when trying to fight "empty Spain."
For Sosa, all the actions aimed at updating and digitizing the Administration are well received, but not if they leave behind groups such as the elderly or immigrants, who do not have computer skills will have to go to private consultants for daily procedures ( births, deaths, marriages, etc.) currently offered in the Registry.
For Sosa it is much more sensible to bring officials to small municipalities to provide this service in the days that are established, than not to move thousands of citizens to the capital.
For this reason, Sosa has announced that it will present a motion, which it hopes will be joint of all the municipal groups, to the next Plenary of January, in which the National Government will be urged to the essential maintenance of this service, an initiative that already has the support of the Dean of the Lorca Bar Association, Ángel García Aragón, who has already transferred Sosa.
Finally, Sosa has shown its satisfaction to know, after its conservation with the Dean of lawyers, that the Mediation, Arbitration and Conciliation Center (CMAC) that mediates between workers and companies, whose headquarters is possibly going to be restored in Lorca is located in the Bar Association, once the judicial authorities certify that the requirements are met.
"That is the way forward, the recovery of services, not their disappearance" the mayor has concluded.
