Antonio Navarro indicates that "2017 begins as it finishes 2016", and like the previous years with regard to the management of the earthquakes of May 2011, "with the aid pending to reach its recipients" .
The next day January 11, it will be 68 months since that fateful Wednesday, May 11, 2011 in which two earthquakes exploded Lorca and took after them the lives of 9 people.
The Councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Antonio Navarro, calls the 68-month "endless" for those families who became homeless and have not yet been able to return because of lack of involvement and interest on the part of the Regional Administration attached to the Lack of sensitivity and vindication of the City of Lorca.
Navarro regrets that "from the Local Administration, far from any kind of claim, from the outset they positioned themselves in the cover-up to their bosses of Murcia and against those affected by systematically lying to them, arguing over and over that their aid is pending That they approve the budgets or saying that they will receive their money of immediate form ".
For the Socialist mayor, "it is all false", and stresses that "RD 11/2012 authorizes a loan for the Autonomous Community denominated ICO-Lorca of 115 million euros, expandable to another 115 million if necessary, and of which Only a little over 80 million have been arranged, "and insists that" this loan was granted in 2012 and is out of budgets. "
In this sense, Navarro indicates that the Regional Administration is inducing with its delay in the payment of compensation that "the amount to be compensated is much greater", as delays in payments for reconstruction and repair cause the delay in reconstruction And repair of these houses, which in turn, entails that families are forced to stay longer for rent, causing compensation for these rents to skyrocket.
The Socialist Councilman indicates that "this circumstance means that, every month that the affected people spend outside their homes for these delays derived from the payment of the aid for the repair and reconstruction of their homes, the debt of the Regional Administration in this respect increases ";
"A debt assures Navarro - that will finally reverberate in the pocket of all via taxes for payment."
"Therefore, from the Socialist Party, we demand that all those affected be immediately and definitively compensated, that they apologize for the delay and that they immediately dismiss those responsible for this" Kafkaesque "nonsense that provokes Lack of protection for those affected and a greater cost to the Regional Administration and therefore to all citizens, "said Navarro.
