Socialists claim that the Popular Party has turned the traffic sanctions into a "source of revenue" to be able to square the accounts and that relegated to the background its "deterrent" effect on drivers for negligent behavior.
Abellán says he does not want to think that the PP has spent more than € 30,000 to acquire a radar "to be able to continue to fry fines to the drivers of Lorca and, in this way, to be able to fatten the municipal coffers so as to be able to balance the accounts"
The second deputy spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca has again denounced the collection of the Popular Party at the expense of traffic penalties to drivers Lorca.
Abellán says that the PP has forgotten the deterrent nature of the fines, to turn it into a "purely tax collector".
Isidro Abellán recalled the revenue forecasts made by the government team of the PP for 2017 in terms of Traffic Sanctions, which "doubled" to that made for 2016. If by 2016 revenues were budgeted for € 225,000, by 2017 " budgeted revenues were € 550,000, up 144% ".
During the assessment of the last general account, from the PSOE also showed that the City of Lorca raised in 2016 "nothing more and nothing less than 533,289.39 €, or 137% more than budgeted for that year ( € 225,000) and 104% more than in the previous year (€ 261,755.61) ".
"There are plenty of reasons to say that the PP has turned the traffic sanctions into a source of revenue to be able to balance the accounts and have relegated to the background its deterrent effect to drivers for negligent behavior.
Abellán assures us that "time is right again" in the Socialists' warning about the "witch-hunt" that the PP has taken against Lorca drivers.
Abellán was able to know, according to the Local Government Board on September 4, that the government team has approved the "acquisition by renting of a control point for speed measurement by means of a laser technology for tripod mounting, vehicle and guardrail for the Local Police ", that is to say that" the City council has acquired a radar in all rule that can be used both mobile and fixed ".
Abellán says he does not want to think that the PP's government team has spent more than € 30,000 (€ 30,383.52) on acquiring a radar "to be able to continue to fry fines to the drivers of Lorca and, in this way, municipal coffers so as to be able to balance the accounts ".
Socialists claim to be aware that "drivers have to abide by the law and that all vehicles have to comply strictly with the code and traffic regulations" and to do so, he recalls "in addition to radars, there are dissuasive mechanisms applied by other municipalities and that make the speed of the vehicles adapt to the standards of the road, such as highlights or lighting pedestrian crossings), but this City Council does not prefer to use.
From the PSOE warn the PP government team that they will be vigilant that the use of this new radar "is done in a correct way and always in order to guarantee the road safety of the municipality and not to square the municipal accounts" .
To this end, they urge the City of Lorca that its use is "deterrent and non-collection", while requesting information from Lorca about its location, as in municipalities such as Murcia.
