"If they can and have not done so, it is because they have no interest in providing the residents of Almendricos with the tools for citizen participation that they have been demanding for decades, beyond using them to put pressure on us and have us approve their budgets so, if we don't, try to sell that we are the bad guys in the movie, "said Mart n.

Mateos' announcement has been labeled by Martin as "not very serious", and in the purest "Juan Palomo" style because in more than a year "the mayor has never sat down with us to address this issue has not shown any concern about addressing this old neighborhood claim, except now that it has to start looking for support for its budget ", which gives the measure that" this generates just concern and yes what is related to the political failure that would mean not taking out their own budgets.

Gloria Mart n has explained that her formation has not resigned since the members of the Neighborhood and Pedan a Boards are elected directly by the neighbors instead of by extrapolating the results of the municipal elections.

For this reason, he has also reminded the PSOE of his commitment - unfulfilled so far - to commission a report from the technical and legal services of the City Council, on the viability of the District Regulations contemplating direct election by the citizens of their representatives in those bodies.

Finally, Mart n has pointed out that Mateos' proposal to allocate 300,000 euros to direct neighborhood management seems "poor" and contravenes the Organic Regulation of the Districts of the municipality of Lorca by which the Together, they are responsible for managing, at least, 2% of the municipal budget (around 1.4 million euros).
