The socialists denounce that there are more than 5,000 unemployed Lorca, many of them linked to the construction sector, and so many Lorca companies in need of work;

and having in his hand the Popular Party the opportunity to contract directly with Lorca companies, Gil Jódar has preferred to give almost half a million euros in works to finger companies outside Lorca, which will not generate a cent of profit in our municipality

The second deputy spokesman of the PSOE, Isidro Abellán has denounced that the Mayor and his team of councilors of the Popular Party have done "a finger", with which they have allocated directly to companies outside Lorca more than 460,000 euros in the form of smaller contracts of works.

Abellán ensures that the Popular Party "returns to think more about the outside than the workers of Lorca."

The proof is, he assures, that in just two months, the Mayor and his team have directly awarded almost half a million euros, exactly 460,388.- € in the form of minor works contracts to companies outside of Lorca.

The mayor recalls that they are minor contracts that, for not exceeding 50,000.- €, in the case of contracts for works, can be awarded legally without the need to submit them to advertising or competition, for which regrets that "being able to count directly with companies in Lorca, they preferred to have companies and workers from the outside first ".

The Lorca socialists denounce that there are so many unemployed Lorca, linked many of them to the construction sector;

having so many and many Lorca companies in need of work;

having in his hand the governing team of the Popular Party the opportunity to contract directly with Lorca companies "still this Mayor and this Popular Party have preferred to have companies and workers from outside Lorca".

Abellán regrets that "having perfectly trained Lorca companies," the Popular Party has preferred to give almost half a million euros in works to companies outside Lorca "that will not generate a cent of profit in our municipality."

However, he points out that "when it comes to collecting their taxes every year, they do remember the Lorca companies, but not at the time of giving them work".

The "sad of all this," he says, is that "we do not talk about anything new."

"The reality is that the investments that this municipality has received in recent years, most of them for works, have not served to give jobs to companies and workers in Lorca."

It is not the first time that the PSOE denounces that the PP "has not done everything in his power so that the money that has arrived in Lorca all these years, will remain in Lorca".

From May 2015 to December 2016, of the 16 million euros awarded for works, more than 9.4 million went to companies outside of Lorca, that is, 60% of the works contracted.

Since the PSOE, remember, have been making proposals to solve the "mismanagement" that has been making the Popular Party works, such as that raised in March 2017, when they proposed the creation of an electronic tender platform for minor contracts with which to give greater transparency to hiring and greater opportunity to Lorca companies, while reducing municipal spending.
