| Local Police, Emergency Service, Civil Protection and Health and Social Services officials | The ineffectiveness of the current local government, failed and exhausted, causes Lorca to be the only municipality in which this type of testing is not being done among its workers.
Once again we are the citizens who suffer the ineffectiveness of a mayor who, for comfort, has insisted on doing things behind the back of the citizens.The councilor for Citizen Security in the town hall of Lorca for the Popular Party, María Belén Pérez, has demanded this morning the mayor of the PSOE to follow the example of the majority of municipalities in our country and proceed immediately to carry out the tests detection of COVID-19 to municipal workers who have been most exposed to the virus due to the performance of their professional duties.
The decision of the current mayor to discriminate against municipal employees in carrying out these tests, precisely excluding the most vulnerable workers, is a real nonsense and recklessness.From the PP we demand that Lorca not be left behind due to the incapacity of an exhausted, "burned" and failed government, but that we must be, at least, at the height of the rest of the cities, proceeding to carry out tests of coronavirus detection to the templates of our Local Police, Municipal Emergency Service and Civil Protection, officials of the departments of Health, Consumption and Social Services.It seems to us correct that the employees of Limusa and Aguas de Lorca already have these tests, so we demand that the same coverage be provided to the rest of the employees of the city council, why some yes and others no? You cannot trust a city council that does not protect even its own workers, but, on the contrary, establishes distinctions and discriminations between them.We do not understand the obscurantism and the lack of transparency that is being attempted on this issue.
In fact, we have had to find out from sources outside the municipal activity that tests of this type were being carried out on some groups of municipal workers, leaving aside others, from whom this issue has been hidden.From the Popular Party we demand that the socialist mayor stop looking for excuses and turn his back on Lorca, and proceed immediately to protect municipal employees by conducting these tests.
We want all the workers who carry out their tasks to the public have this resource.
We are talking about a tool that not only protects this professional group, but also constitutes a guarantee for all citizens who have to carry out any type of procedure in the different municipal offices.Other municipalities have acted with foresight and have anticipated the circumstances, protecting their citizens with this health tool.
There are even some cities in which their mayors have decided to extend the performance of these tests to all inhabitants.
Unfortunately, and once again, we have to regret that the mayor of the PSOE prefers the comfort of the office and that the work is done by others, so he leaves most municipal employees untested and prefers that time goes by without doing anything.
.
These are not ways of governing or solving citizens' problems.The reality is that they have everything standing at the town hall, confirming that they have no project for Lorca and they just watch the days go by, improvising and solving nothing.
The only projects and investments that are materializing are those of the regional government of the Popular Party.We must remember that the current mayor, through a Decree of the Mayor's Office, dated last May 8, decided to impose on municipal employees the date of Monday 18 to rejoin face-to-face activity.
The main town councils of our country announced and began the proper carrying out of tests for the detection of COVID-19 among this professional group, something that the mayor of the PSOE refused to do in Lorca.
From the PP we reject this attitude of Mr Mateos, and demand that the same coverage be provided to all employees of the town hall, without distinction.
