Mr. Cruz's statements in public makes the cancellation of the program of cultural and tourist city of Lorca for next year come to mean little weight Lorca issues have regional and come to confirm predictions made in recent days by various institutions.
In recent years witnessed the gradual disappearance of the culture in our city at all levels in activities such as Espirelia, Lorca, workshop time, or festival Rock War Theatre program with no response from our municipal government.
"This decision highlights the lack of interest in our regional government paid to cultural affairs and is the result of the failure of his administration that has been squandered over the years of plenty without a spending plan that takes us now to have to cut in areas not considered a priority. "
"Lack of budget for culture in Lorca contrasts with that continue to provide money for other events in other municipalities and is the clearest sign of how little attention does our local government, unable to defend the interests of the city to his fellow party in the regional government "are statements UPyD spokesman in the city, Juan Manuel Cabrera.
UPyD is convinced that investment in culture is a priority and requires the local government to put pressure on governments to ensure that the city receives the budget it deserves as the third municipality in the Region of Murcia and can therefore develop programs that were planned for next year and to be used for much-needed revival of cultural life Lorca.
The city government seems focused on the pre-campaign launch spending the budget on organizing openings parks or buildings of dubious value and devote their time to place foundation stones for the upcoming elections, while our streets are increasingly dirty, the culture is missing, the suppliers are not paid, they disappear aid organizations and institutions and facilities are lacking everywhere.
We have spent over the years of waste without control of the former municipal government on issues of culture to the total disappearance done today, and always without regard to the interests of the citizens themselves.
