Francisco Morales has deeply regretted that the Popular Party of Lorca is dedicated to lying and trying to deceive the people of Lorca again, especially when it does so by creating uncertainty among the groups most affected by the health crisis, in this case the economic one, and which is the object of the new line of aid worth 425,000 euros.
In total, aid to the self-employed and micro-businesses is five times the budget of five councils The councilor spokesman for the Municipal Group of Citizens in the City of Lorca, Francisco Morales, has criticized this morning the opposition work that the Lorca PP has been doing, "based on lies, nonsensical slogans and the generation of false news." Francisco Morales has "deeply regretted that the Popular Party of Lorca is dedicated to lying and trying to deceive Lorca again.
They have become the factory of 'fake news Lorca' and our municipality deserves that the opposition is at the height of the Circumstances in these complicated moments.
In politics, not everything is worth trying to obtain electoral revenue, but it is also not going to serve them for it, because the people of Lorca already know who they are and they know about their lies, exaggerations and manipulations, as well as of that technique that tries to repeat a lie many times to make it come true.
It does not work, and it is not what Lorca expects from the opposition.
" The liberal mayor, responsible for the area of ??Economy in the City of Lorca, recalled that "the bases of the call are clear and public: the self-employed have not been excluded from the municipal aid implemented, so again we have to deny news released by popular Lorca to generate uncertainty and mistrust among the population.
" Therefore, Morales has reiterated that "as reflected in the regulatory bases, published on the municipal portal lorca.es, the beneficiaries of this new line of aid are the same as the previous line, that is, self-employed and micro-enterprises of the sectors most affected by the economic consequences of the pandemic, such as the hotel industry and commerce ".
This was unanimously approved by the Plenary in its extraordinary session held on March 15, specifying that the City of Lorca implement a package of measures in 2021 similar to the one approved in September 2020 for the hospitality, commerce and the self-employed ". In this sense, the mayor recalled that "the purpose of the aid is to reinforce support for self-employed workers and micro-enterprises in the municipality whose activity has been affected by the closure of establishments in order to help tackle the economic effects of the pandemic, encouraging the activity and maintenance of employment generated by employers and professionals in the municipality, avoiding situations or risk of social exclusion ". Citizens has also denied the statement made by the PP Lorca about the trades that have supposedly been excluded from the aid.
"They should have been informed before criticizing.
The royal decree excluded some sectors that, however, from the Lorca City Council we do consider them as beneficiaries of municipal aid, such as hairdressers or travel agencies," reported the mayor. The amount that the City Council of Lorca allocates to meet these latest subsidies amounts to a total amount of 425,000 euros from the municipal budget of 2021, establishing a line of aid for the hospitality sector for a maximum global amount of 300,000 euros, and another line for the commercial sector for a maximum global amount of 125,000 euros, aid that is in addition to the first direct aid without consideration already executed for a value of 275,000 euros. The liberal spokesman has indicated that the new call "represents a significant improvement over the previous ones since it goes from aid of 500 to 2,000 euros for hospitality business and from 500 to 750 euros for merchants.
As novelties, those who are also beneficiaries are have a business in Lorca, but domiciled in another municipality, including corporate companies ". Morales stressed that "the Lorca City Council has been a pioneer in carrying out actions to support commerce, the hotel industry, micro-businesses and the self-employed, and since the health crisis has not yet ended and the restrictions carried out with the aim of saving Lives continue to be produced, from this City Council, within our resources and competencies, we will continue to do everything possible, collaborating loyally with the rest of the institutions, but also demanding that they act in a coordinated manner since they are the ones that have the resources and competencies.
necessary to do so.
" However, the Lorca government team "has committed more than one and a half million euros in favor of the local economy between the two direct aid lines, the suspension of the application of public road occupancy rates and the market service.
or the discount of 75% of the IBI to local ", has detailed Francisco Morales.
Thus, "the comparisons are very graphic.
The previous government team, in another critical situation for merchants such as the earthquakes of 2011, allocated an amount of about 1.2 million euros in two actions of which no The merchants but the owners of two properties benefited: 470,000 euros were consigned to the Mercado de Sol and 700,000 euros to the La Viña commercial gallery, both closed today and without activity.the self-employed and micro-enterprises did not see a single euro ". The spokesperson for Citizens also wanted to illustrate the effort made to support the economic sector in Lorca, noting that "we are going to execute an economic aid that multiplies by five the annual budget of the councils of Tourism, Economy, Industry, Commerce and Crafts.
Therefore , Our commitment to directly help Lorca businesses is clear and evident, the aid to self-employed workers and microenterprises five times the budget of five councils, "Morales asserted. For this reason, the liberal spokesman has assured "not to understand the attitude of a PP from Lorca who seems not to have gotten used to being in the opposition, or who does not know how to be without doing anything other than 'opposing' everything, including aid to the self-employed and micro-businesses in Lorca.
Nor that they consider people so unintelligent as to believe their lies, no matter how many times they repeat them: we have already shown them with data in their day that Limusa does not have 1.2 million losses, but they don't want to learn and correct their mistakes, but just repeat empty sentences.
" In fact, "the popular Lorca seem more focused on slogans and the Madrid campaign than on working for Lorca.
But we are in Lorca, so, given the dichotomy between which we are given the choice, 'socialism or freedom', we propose 'cynicism or work' to them, although it is clear what they have chosen to practice: cynicism.
