Diego José Mateos highlights the economic work that has been done in the Consistory, "managing with a budget almost 90 percent exhausted" and insists that "by 2020 we will continue working to close once and for all issues related to May 2011 earthquakes. "

The mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos, has done, this morning, balance of the year 2019 that we are about to say goodbye and he has done it in the traditional informative breakfast with the local media that follow the municipal information daily.

The mayor of Lorca has stressed that "this year that we are about to say goodbye we could define it as intense, exciting, exciting, as well as positive, especially because of the capacity for dialogue that we are having in many of the issues raised by the different municipal groups represented in the Consistory ".

"During these six months we have had days of great concern like those days in September in which the torrential rains caused by DANA caused flooding, especially more important in the areas of the Campillo and Purias districts. Fortunately we did not have to regret personal damages, but material damages. So we continue to work together with the Segura Hydrographic Confederation, the Autonomous Community and of course the neighbors, to find definitive solutions to this issue, "added Mateos.

The First Edil recalled that "it is the first time in the history of Lorca that we have a coalition government, thanks to the government pact that we reached with Citizens and the support in the investiture of the United Left Green, with which we agree on many fundamental issues for the development of our city and the improvement of the quality of life of our neighbors. "

"During these months we have achieved small achievements such as improving parking in different areas of our municipality: as in the Rafael Méndez Hospital, in the vicinity of Sutullena, an important area of ​​expansion, in the IES San Juan Bosco and in the neighborhood of Alfonso X ", detailed the mayor.

The First Edil has said that "the negative part of the balance sheet is the situation in which we find the municipal accounts, with a budget almost depleted to 90 percent with which we have had to work throughout this time, allocating, as heme I have been saying, what little was left to fundamental issues. It has been complicated and hard months, in which we have had to go through games that had not been spent on other concepts for which there was no money. "

Mateos Molina has indicated that "without a doubt one of the fundamental parts has been the work developed in the economic aspect for the elaboration of the Fiscal Ordinances for the new exercise that are characterized by a greater redistribution of wealth, a greater environmental efficiency, and above all, to relieve the pocket of Lorca, with bonuses and exemptions in various taxes and fees, such as the 2 percent drop in the IBI for all those taxpayers who domicile the tax or already have it domiciled. And another point key are the budgets for 2020, which we are finalizing the last details so that they are, above all, social, people-centered, in the needs of our fellow citizens, in the improvement of their neighborhoods and districts. We are maintaining contact with the rest of municipal groups to be able to carry out these accounts, and if we do not have enough support we will inevitably focus on

extend the 2019 budgets, which, although they will not be ours, we would be obliged, if necessary, to work with them. "

Looking ahead to next year, the mayor of Lorca, has highlighted as one of the main projects "the recovery and enhancement of our historic center, to help trade, which still survives, but also the new projects they want start your activity in this area of ​​our city. "

In addition, Mateos, has referred to "the completion of all those issues related to the earthquakes of May 2011, and that eight years later, are still pending, as is the justification for the aid received by the victims, especially for the bureaucracy, but also for the novelty, since no one was prepared for a tragedy of this magnitude.We will also be very attentive to the arrival of the AVE to Lorca and to make them in an underground way as it passes through the urban area of ​​the city, to that does not suppose an architectural barrier for our city, and the sections that are pending of the central round, a fundamental infrastructure to decongest the traffic as it passes through the center ".

The mayor has also insisted that "we will continue working tirelessly, as we have done so far, to complete the execution of all those projects and infrastructures financed by the European Investment Bank (EIB), such as access through the neighborhood of San Antonio, the urban remodeling of Jerónimo Santa Fe street and its adjacent ones, all due to the lack of foresight of the previous Government Team.With regard to heritage, we will fight for financing for the restoration of the Church of San Juan and the mural paintings of the Sanctuary of the Virgen de las Huertas that were included in a General State Budget of 2019 that were not approved due to the lack of interest that the Popular Party has shown for such important issues.

"As well as other issues in which we need the support of the central government, so we hope that a strong and stable Government of the Nation will soon be consolidated and that it ceases to function, that we have a solvent and guarantee executive that meets with the commitments acquired with our city. Without leaving aside the districts, forgotten for many years, and for which we will work so that our neighbors stop feeling like second-class citizens. To do this, since we take the reins of the government municipal work on the implementation of the Neighborhood Boards to give more participation to the neighbors, and as shown by the arrangement of most Social Premises, which had been abandoned for many years, and we will continue to insist on improving security, with the opening from the Local Police Headquarters in the San Cristóbal neighborhood, "Diego José Mateos has finished.
