Isidro Abellán has stated that the return of this important subsidy is a further reflection of the inefficiency and lack of coordination of the government team, and specifically the Councilors Sports and Finance, and also hopes that this return does not involve the payment of Interest on arrears.

The second deputy spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Isidro Abellán, has stated that "in the socialist municipal group we learned yesterday that at the Local Government Board dated December 16, 2016 it was agreed, At the initiative of the Mayor, the return of 470,000 euros of subsidy already entered into the municipal coffers for not having applied the funds to the intended destination. "

This grant was granted by Decree 305/2015 of 9 December of the Governing Council of CARM (published in the BORM of December 15) and was a subsidy by "direct concession", ie without participation or concurrence of Other entities, and based on "reasons of a public, economic and social nature that justify the collaboration of the Regional Administration in financing these actions and the difficulty of its public call" and that gave a term of execution of more than one year, In particular until 31 December 2016.

Abellán has once again expressed his concern that "neither Councilor for Sports, Mr. Martinez nor Councilor for Finance, Mr. Gil Jódar, have moved a finger to carry out the necessary procedures to construct the pavilion and justify the Funds received and have not even been able to get a single brick to be put in spite of having the necessary land and more than enough time, "so the Socialist councilman insists that" those responsible must explain all Lorca ".

The Socialist Vice-Speaker expects that this lack of coordination and lack of effectiveness of the government team will not be aggravated by the mandatory payment of interest for delay, since the normative references referred to in the agreement of the Local Government Board Are referred to the return of improper income, a circumstance that leads to the repayment of the corresponding delay interest, so Abellán has indicated that "today and by request in writing, we will request a view of the file to verify why Of this loss of 470,000 euros and the total cost to the municipal treasury.

"We do not understand that a direct subsidy has been requested for the construction of a pavilion and thus to finish the sports facilities, that this one is granted, it is entered in the municipal accounts and that, later, it has been agreed to give it back".

"Also, we do not understand that there was a sporting need to satisfy (the pavilion) and that now this need is not a priority and we try to expand other facilities (the residence), and all this, without previously finishing the sports that could enjoy All Lorca, "says Abellán.

Likewise, the socialist councilman states that "this is another example of the inability of political management and the lack of coordination of the municipal government team, and that shows that they are thinking more about their internal problems than on solving problems and The effective management of public resources, "and insists that all this has led the City to have to pay back almost half a million euros.
