The Government Team of the City of Lorca, before the criticisms made this morning by Mr. Mecca regarding the management of the Bureau of Solidarity, wants to clarify that the representative of the municipal group Citizens in the Consistory Lorca is confusing the ICO loan with the Funds from the Solidarity Table corresponding to the repayable advances for rent and that from this institution were placed in the hands of those affected by earthquakes to deal with the rental of housing.
Thus, the Solidarity Table, an advisory body to channel the aid received, has been in charge of helping those families who could not cope with advances for rent, recognized in the Royal Decree.
It should be remembered that the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia continues to send periodically, and as the works of reconstruction of the buildings and after the presentation of the corresponding certificates of work, the anticipated money in the form of aid corresponding to each victim.
Similarly, constant demands have been made for the return to the Solidarity Table of advances made by the Governing Team and by agreement of all members of the Solidarity Table.
The objective of the Solidarity Table was and is to help those who need it, and this has always been done and will continue to be done until there is only one person who needs it.
Thus, we must emphasize the total degree of consensus in establishing the different lines of aid and assistance through which thousands of Lorca have benefited.
Except for exceptions such as this case in which Mr. Mecca has left the Bureau of Solidarity, the members of the Bureau have shown that for six years they could work together and that when the interests of Lorca are put forward above partisan postulates or Of another type the result supposes a benefit for the society.
For this reason we do not understand neither the desire for protagonism nor the interest to discredit this organism that has become an oxygen balloon for many Lorca families.
