Pedro Sosa, councilman spokesman for the municipal group of United Left-Greens Lorca, has made political balance of the year this morning at a press conference, alluding to the few news that the PP has introduced into political life during 2016.
In relation to the balance that has made the PP, alluding to it has been a year of consensus, Sosa has denied this statement asserting the opposite and citing as examples the massive demonstration that took place on the part of the neighbors of San Diego and environs against the Closing of the urgencies of the neighborhood or the continuous discomfort of the districts by the ignored case that is made to their demands.
His performance, said Pedro Sosa referring to the PP, has been characterized in the economic by the austerity and the control of the expense, which has made it impossible to extend the offer of services to the citizen.
This is a matter that can easily be seen in the poverty of cultural policy, or the very few contributions to the development of the districts, since not even the procedures have been initiated to put into operation the Neighborhood Boards and the organization of the Districts.
The criticism has also been referenced by Pedro Sosa to the industrial policy, emphasizing the scarce resolution that the current team of government has to face measures that favor the introduction of new industries, the renewal of the current ones (case of slaughterhouse) and / Or even give vent to the projects of photovoltaic companies remember in this respect the project of Andaltia or the one announced in the vicinity of Almendricos.
As for the investments that are taking place in Lorca following the earthquakes of 2011, Pedro Sosa has been forceful, on the one hand to demand compensation of damages to families that have not yet obtained a satisfactory response from the Joint Commission, for Another to criticize the Insurance Compensation Consortium for the state where the Almendros building and the Avenida de Portugal building are still located, and thirdly to denounce the delay that the investments under the EIB loan are suffering.
Pedro Sosa has insisted on the opacity that governs the aforementioned investments, requiring the mayor to officially inform the municipal groups of the administrative state in which they are already announced, and also to offer participation to determine future actions that Can still be approved, by surplus remnants or by decreases in tenders.
It is essential Pedro Sosa said that both the Ministry and the City of Lorca itself officially and rigorously present the balance sheet on 31 December 2016.
Concerning the investments that correspond directly to the City Council, Pedro Sosa, has again insisted on the accumulated delay of several years, reaching the amount of more than 40 million € that the City, we could say "owes the citizens."
In short, they are works announced and not executed.
In fact "it is a real fraud to the citizen".
In housing policy, Pedro Sosa has highlighted the need to create social housing, as well as reviewing the living conditions of existing ones and criticized the mayor for not having resolved favorably the agreement that was signed with him SEPES on the occasion of earthquakes.
In summary: poor implementation of the 2016 budget, budget continuity approved for 2017. Lack of initiative in cultural policy.
Neglect of the districts.
Very little participation to citizens and opposition groups.
Maintenance of patronage and favoritism to the like.
And finally opacity in the investment policy.
If we were asked for a note we would give a "3" globally, but observing that many councils would be below that note, which is the case of citizen participation, urban planning and earthquake management, youth or housing.
