A year later, its director general, Lucía Morales, announced that the government of Mariano Rajoy had rejected that commitment and announced the construction of a "first phase" of 81 conventional houses on land ceded by the City Council with an investment of 12 million euros .
In fact, in 2013, the municipal government team announced the bidding for these houses - 39 in the neighborhood of San Antonio, 32 in the deputation of La Hoya, and ten in the neighborhood of San Cristobal, in the vicinity of the campus And assured that it had been granted legal for another 40 along the Old Way of the Port.

For the councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes de Lorca, the Government of Spain "has not only altered the purpose of the protocol, which was to expand the real estate of the municipality with public housing of new construction", but also "the The City Council has lost 48 million euros compared to the commitment made by the government of the PSOE after the earthquakes of 2011, and ten million if we take into account the subsequent promise of the executive of Rajoy.
Martín has lamented the "lack of courage" of the PP mayor, Francisco Jódar, who has allowed the municipality to lose millions of euros of investment in a locality in which, in addition, the commitment to the promotion of public housing "is reduced to zero".
In addition, it has demanded to know if the protocol between Sepes and Ayuntamiento remains in force or if, on the contrary, it has been canceled and why, in which case he asked that "Jódar give face and explain to Lorca how he has been able to bend, Again, the general interests of the municipality to those of the government of his party. "
If the document is still valid, Martin demands the fulfillment of the financial commitment of the central executive and the construction of these homes so that they can be made available, for a reasonable rental price, of the many young people who in Lorca have difficulties to emancipate themselves, Which was 88%.
"It is theirs and their precarious situation towards whom the mayor should look, instead of worrying about lowering the commitment of Moncloa with our municipality," said the councilor of IU-Greens.
