Gloria Martin said that the PP poses a decade of delay in the construction of this infrastructure "not to strengthen the social cohesion of the regional territory but to experiment with a 'asphalt' to replace the model of 'pelotazo' brick, already exhausted" .

All this while still rescue the private highways that will cost 2,000 million euros to the public coffers

The councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes in Lorca, Gloria Martin, has shown his rejection before the tender of a contract for 120,600 euros to obtain the technical-financial advice to guide the contracting process of the construction of the Lorca-Venta highway del Olivo through a "public-private" financing formula.

Martín said that this system has cost overruns of up to 200% in similar experiences in other autonomous communities and that, although it does not account for their deficits, it does imply obligations each year that can generate "millionaire mortgages" to deal with the payments to the concessionaire companies.

Either by means of shadow tolls or by the payment of a fee, IU opposes a "pseudo-privatizing" model whereby the profit obtained by some companies ends up coming out of the workers' pocket.

In this regard, he recalled that the crisis that our country is still experiencing is not due to "having lived beyond our means", but to the "caciquismo that has plundered the public coffers with investments that have gone astray in megaprojects, which has seriously indebted them to benefit of an economic elite. "

The councilor of IU-Greens denounced that the PP takes more than a decade "dizzy the partridge" with the project of construction of a highway of 100 kilometers that a Lorca with the Sale of Olive by Caravaca.

In fact, on two occasions (May 2007 and March 2010), the regional government of the PP "set up a small theater" to present two informative studies "of which we have never heard again".

In this regard, Martin recalled that the regional government promised that Lorca would have such infrastructure in 2011, after an investment of 446 million euros.

"Now they plan to build the Lorca-Venta del Olivo motorway not to strengthen the social cohesion of the regional territory or so that the residents of the high districts win, supposedly, in quality of life, but to experiment with a 'asphalt' to replace the model of 'pelotazo' of the brick, already exhausted. "All this while still colea rescue of private highways that will cost 2,000 million euros to the public coffers and with the huge risk that the neighbors end up paying out of pocket and corruption associated with this type of megaprojects ", reported Martín.
