The popular ones qualify as "despotic and undemocratic" the attempt of the mayor of the Socialists to arbitrarily designate which neighbors may constitute his Junta and which may not.
"All residents have the same right to enjoy this system, from Ramonete to La Paca, and from La Hoya to Almendricos." Since citizens know that Mr.
Mateos is spending 800,000 euros on cars, 500,000 on rescuing Limusa after ruining it, and up to five million in less than a year, their interest in participating in the management has skyrocketed.
direct from your tax money.
The Councilor for Citizen Participation in the Lorca town hall for the Popular Party, Mari Huertas Garc�a has reported that Lorca's residents want to have the opportunity that residents of large Spanish cities already enjoy, and develop the participation system A citizen that works in Murcia and Cartagena, because they do not trust the use that the current mayor is making of public money.
And we support this claim.
We are talking about an economic self-management by the residents of each of our neighborhoods and districts, who want to materialize the right that legally protects them to start working from their respective Neighborhood Councils.
Mr.
Mateos has built a real wall between the citizens and the city hall.
He has acquired the insane habit of not attending to people, and the feeling of abandonment has become general in our municipality.
It does not surprise us at all that the neighbors are certainly disappointed by the terrible management that the mayor of Pedro S�nchez is carrying out with our tax money.
It is evident that actions such as spending 800,000 euros on cars, 500,000 on rescuing Limusa because it has ruined it in less than a year, or the five million euros that has been spent in just a few months, have caused Lorca's people to want participate directly in the decisions that affect them most closely.
And it is that people feel cheated because Mr.
Mateos has raised taxes, emptying the pockets of citizens, but has not improved municipal services, nor does this "shine again", rather the opposite .
The reality is that Lorca, its neighborhoods and its districts, are now worse off than a year and a half ago.
The degradation of the municipality is evident, with particularly harsh examples, the streets are dirtier than ever because of the terrible political management in Limusa, and, on top of that, Mr.
Mateos has unilaterally withdrawn from the local police of all districts, generating a situation of insecurity and lack of protection that constitutes a very serious irresponsibility.
In short, people see that they pay more taxes than ever, but receive worse service and attention, so they demand their right to participate directly in the administration of their tax money, and that is precisely what we also want, and that is why we will demand in the next plenary session of the City Council that it be enabled immediately, by means of the pertinent budgetary modification, as well as in the Municipal Budget for this year the item legally established for the implementation of the Neighborhood Councils, that is, two million euros that have to remain in the hands of the neighbors themselves for their self-management.
Mari Huertas Garc�a has also announced that the PP rejects any attempt to control by the current mayor when choosing which districts and neighborhoods will have this system of participation and when Not them.
That would be to pervert citizen participation and deceive people, so we demand that all districts and neighborhoods have the boards they want.
The formation of these bodies of participation is not a "grace" that Mr.
Mateos wants to choose who likes him better or worse, but a right of citizens, which he has to respect, yes or no.
¿½.
Therefore, we reject any type of "pilot experience" that the PSOE mayor intends to control from his office, because these Neighborhood Councils are not going to be subject to the power that Mr.
Mateos wants to arrogate to himself.
We demand that they all be constituted during the month of February, so that the complete block of Boards can start their work in March, with the budget that corresponds to them, since the current mayor already knows perfectly how many members make up each of the Boards , and he pledged to start operations on January 1, 2020, more than a year ago.
