And as is tradition, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Lorca invites us to this friendly match from which the company lorquina adds its congratulations and thanks to many companies and individuals have put together the most outstanding merits to be creditors of the awards given annually by the House.

We all know the importance of these awards, whose main value is determined by the body that grants them.

What is the Chamber of Commerce that reward, which is the historical agency that endorses the merits of the winners, the best track quality to characterize the awards granted.

The Chambers of Commerce, and let me pluralize are very important organs, which are essential for the economic sector, and social, in any population.

Through the Chambers is channeled around a lot of work support and consulting professionals, promotion, opening new avenues for developing any type of activity.

In addition, the chambers are the result of the many professionals who make them up, which is in itself sufficient reason to characterize them as positive.

Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce, our Chamber is an organization so vital.

On its own merits and the amount of entrepreneurs who represents, we must allow ourselves to advise the House, listening to their advice and ask for your active participation if we want to advance the interests of our town.

Congratulations.

As I said earlier, an event of this nature invites reflection on the present and the future of those occur in Lorca issues pertaining to major areas of commitment of the House, such as industry, tourism and trade, which are both the foundation upon which the future must be based.

It is true we live in a very difficult time, to deny it would turn its back on social reality we live in and all those who are faring so badly today.

The economic crisis affecting every country in the world is primed especially with Spain.

We are paying the consequences of a delayed reaction much more than government inaction and a lot more than worrying.

So we have to say, without reservation and without folds.

Against this, entrepreneurs, families, also the government, we are making a major effort is the best indicator to measure the professional virtues of all.

For coping with the crisis with your best virtues, I congratulate you.

Other editions of this very evening I have confessed that the city of Lorca not going to leave you alone before difficulties.

This commitment not only has my word is fulfilled as long as you know, "but also has the backing of the facts accumulated over the years the current management team of the Municipal Government.

Despite the difficulties we have spoken, despite the enormous burden means that the Government has not solved the problem of local financing, something that we must demand, despite the lamentable economic inheritance received, the City Council Lorca was, is and will be with its citizens in difficult times, making our commitment a reality through solutions.

In short, by posting the necessary ingredients to succeed Lorca and look to the future with optimism, as we do.

I mean, for example, municipal taxes.

When we came into office we knew that taxes were exorbitant and Lorca is committed to reducing them.

The crisis has deterred us from our purpose but, rather, encouraged us to make Lorca Lorca and pay less for their taxes.

Too is pressing the Government's Office in its audit, and therefore we could not copy his example and turn away from the city.

While the government raises the export taxes, VAT, charges from the city of Lorca, we show our commitment to the reality we live:

Down 4% on car seal, lest we forget, was one of the most expensive in Spain.

But we have also established 100% bonus for historic vehicles, 75% for electrical and 50% for hybrids, thereby extending to the economy our commitment to the environment.

Reducing by 50% on IAE for those professionals who are suffering especially the implications of the crisis and in fact, were already suffering economically before it reached farmers, ranchers and tanners also are historically and strategically essential sectors Lorca.

Reducing capital gains to 5%.

Supporting a general reduction of 3.5% in taxes relating to buildings and works, and enabling a 25% reduction in fees for the construction of public housing and historic.

And as for the IBI, during this term we have reduced the tax rate, the share of the City Council set in 3.5%.

However, the index provides the assessed value, land value set by the Ministry, has risen by 40% catastrazo, and will continue to rise, so goes the receipt.

This is so you can explain a hundred different ways, from other prisms and angles, but unfortunately true.

From City Hall, with continuous declines, we are doing everything possible so that the impact on the pocket is smaller and even set up the bonus of 35% and 45% for those undeveloped land rezoned, which benefits nearly 3,000 Lorca family.

But we go a step further, and so recently after five years from the application of catastrazo as by law, we have asked the General Directorate of Registry of the Ministry of Economy and Finance to conduct a reassessment cadastral general, to correct the excesses in the current set.

With this we want to stop raising taxes 10% a year, and also to significantly reduce bills we pay today, which would save between 30 and 40% for each taxpayer.

We are expecting that the Minister tell us your position that, hopefully, answer yes to the necessary reduction of the tax.

This is just the statement that government must be with the public at this time, failing which he would betray lorquina society, and more in times of crisis.

Another unavoidable ingredients for growth has to be support for merchants, restaurateurs, finally, the entire business sector Lorca.

For this, one of the best solutions, taking into account the inherent characteristics of our city, it must be tourism.

So we have to continue working in the recovery of local heritage, for all the benefits of our identity and the local business community.

I mean, for example, the old town, with the monuments of the Plaza of Spain as a reference, a space that is now more accessible and friendly than ever.

Artisan Quarter building.

The imminent restoration of St. Patrick.

The enhancement of the Jewish quarter and the recovery of the Synagogue.

Rehabilitation of high Lorca churches: Santa Maria, San Juan and San Pedro, and the Hermitage of San Clemente.

The ambitious future of the Palace of Guevara and the creation of the Regional Museum of the Baroque.

And a long list of actions to recover our spectacular resources.

If all these heritage values inherent in their Lorca joined the great work done by professionals from their shops, catering establishments and companies, offer both Lorca and visitors, we will become the tourist capital deserve to be, which will benefit all , do not hesitate.

Lorca is now in the process, more and more tourists decide to visit.

The data do not lie, and indeed, according to data from the Office de Tourisme de Lorca, visits to our city have increased from 2,009 to 30% in terms of national and 13% in terms of international.

And this is not coincidental.

But as I always say, Lorca should aim higher, must aim at all, because we deserve it.

Thus, in addition to tourist and cultural values, many other aspects in which all citizens are working Lorca, and have to be reality very soon, to benefit those who participate in this city.

But our commitment is not only confined to the broad boundaries of this municipality.

We go further.

And is that the main objectives of Lorca is also the Shire of Guadalentín.

We have to make County, joining the efforts of the citizens of Guadalentín to make common cause.

We share a common origin and we share interests and goals for the future and it is so important that we Shire, working together and fostering a necessary and territorial balance.

You know very well what I mean our good friend Pedro Antonio Sanchez, Mayor of Puerto Lumbreras exemplary, hard worker and gifted with a unique political vision, which shares the ambition to strengthen the major county projects to which we aspire and which will benefit all the places that make this axis and, in particular, and Lorca Puerto Lumbreras.

But is that our City of the Sun, as head of Shire, has plans for present and future that benefit few people form the core of Guadalentín.

For example, Campus Universitario de Lorca.

A project in which our hosts of the Chamber of Commerce have played an important role, since we could not expect less from a local well.

We have the campus running, but that is not enough.

We must aspire to the consolidation, to increase the range of subjects, since become a reference center in the formation of the best professionals in the health care.

Communications: Lorca starting Caravaca Highway, continuing into the third lane of the motorway of the Mediterranean, including Lorca in the Mediterranean corridor and the arrival of the AVE, but not in any way, but its complete underground through the city Lorca, and without entailing, economically speaking, a mortgage for Lorca tomorrow.

Also internal communication, those within the city, whose solutions are inexorably building rounds, of which the beginning of the first phase is imminent.

The consolidation and development of the industrial fabric of Lorca, for which the CAEDI, the Center for Economic Activities and Industrial dotacionales Lorca and Puerto Lumbreras, will be essential.

Furthermore, this commitment to industrialization must make Lorca a business leader, something that we have advanced with the installation of the multinational Noksel Saprelorca in the Polygon, will not be the only major corporation, attracted by the virtues of Lorca , is installed creating interesting synergies with local businesses and generating significant benefits.

But this effort we are making to promote industrialization is possible thanks to full support of the Regional Government, whose commitment to our goals is to be clear and unequivocal.

Commitment is Salvador Marín, who through the Ministry of Universities, Business and Research and through the INFO is doing admirable work by Lorca.

Commitment is Sotoca Constantine, who has made it possible for a particular Lorca alive today golden age in terms of educational facilities and that we are the city of the region with more investment in training for the unemployed, offering those who suffer from this problem new options labor.

And commitment is to our President, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, who is the best guarantee of prosperity for Lorca, Guadalentín County and the Region of Murcia.

Returning to the objectives, I note that as the city center we already are, we must aim higher.

Each sample to be held in Sun City offers results in quality and support that exceeds every year.

SEPOR, FERAMUR, FERICAB, the Used Vehicle Fair, the Fair and Pet Dog, the Salon Inmobiliario del Levante or Expoestudio are good examples of the character display of Lorca, and we need an auditorium and Conference Centre offers the better facilities to enhance these fairs and any other that we want to celebrate.

But we also need to continue betting on the character of our city center.

Lorca can not do without their fairs and exhibitions for all that mean for different sectors, and therefore, among all citizens, business and trade organizations, municipality and autonomous region, we must do everything in our hands and little more in order to remain concerning national and international level.

You see, we have plans to grow, projects are becoming realities and that we ensure short, medium and long term, an exciting future.

But as the highest value of Lorca are its citizens, and without them this town would be nothing at all, and especially to the Chamber of Commerce, I ask you to demand what is right for us, that we continue our efforts and that of all those aspects that truly make the future of Lorca have to wait.

I know that your commitment to these realities will, as always, Max.

Take the example of today's winners, their effort and ability, and together we make real the great projects of present and future of our Lorca.

Once again, congratulations to the winners, and all thank you very much.
