The IU-V Municipal Group Spokesman, Pedro Sosa, made public this morning the opposition - formally expressed yesterday in the Board of Directors of LIMUSA - the process of contracting the new glass of waste to be built In Lorca and that will cost our local coffers no less than 6,685,000 euros.
Sosa warns that in this hiring process, the Board of Directors, which includes all political groups, attends as a "guest of stone" and with no capacity for any decision, when it is one of the largest contracts for its importance Economic that has ever made the City of Lorca.
Therefore, says the IU-V Spokesman, the logic is that in that recruitment would have intervened from the beginning local officials in the economic and contracting areas and would not have been allowed by the Mayor of Lorca and his local government to leave All in the hands of the Manager of the company, which IU-V does not consider qualified enough for a recruitment of these dimensions and economic relevance.
The councilman of IU denounces that in that process of hiring now open has happened again what so often happens with the public contracting that are made in Lorca, and is that have been again excluded from several Lorca companies, while included and accepted To the foreign companies of always, among them, Ferrovial;
A company whose name is now in all Spanish media for an alleged system of illegal payments (the famous bites of 3%) to finance the nationalist right that governs in Catalonia.
Sosa maintains that if there is corruption it is because there are corrupt politicians but also corrupting subjects.
In that sense, if that or any other company were finally condemned, it would be logical to exclude them definitively to access public contracts, and in the meantime preventive measures should be taken, Hiring in civil servants qualified for it.
Sosa affirms that the PP of Lorca proves once more that it is not the party of the local entrepreneurs, nor of the local economy, nor of the economic progress of our municipality, because every time that has occasion for it ends up giving the contracts of public work More substantial to these large foreign companies, without there being any public return of these important investments for our municipality in the form of local employment, the size of its companies, and the activation of the Lorca economy.
The councilman of IU-V has advanced that he knows that some excluded companies are going to contest the hiring process, and that if such a challenge were to thrive in the administrative or judicial instances in which it was substantiated, political responsibilities would have to be demanded at the highest level Level that should go from the resignation of the Manager of LIMUSA to the claim of resignation of the Mayor and the councilors with responsibility in that public company.
