The Socialist deputy spokesman Marisol Sanchez has reaffirmed that "the Popular Party in the city of Lorca is not fulfilling its obligation to the neighbors who have problems with their buildings. This is demonstrated by the fact that instead of assessing and meeting their responsibility to assistance to their neighbors and to exercise their duties in the case of any harm to people, ask dedicated to the Government Office which is strictly a municipal responsibility. His attitude shows that the PP government team in the City of Lorca, not sure at this point what their obligations or what knows and wants to circumvent confusing the neighbors of Lorca ".
Sanchez recalled that "in the case of demolition of buildings, the City is solely responsible for meeting the demands of those affected by the earthquake, understand the situation in which they are the buildings and the habitability of their homes and in appropriate, order the destruction and demolition of the same. All this if so determined by the municipal technicians need to develop a report for the mayor to issue the required demolition order. In no event shall the Government Office can do any of these requirements and prior to the consideration of what management pays the cost of demolition. "
The socialist mayor has made it clear that "the 139 records are Jódar shame the mayor, who has not responded and has not complied with the residents affected and are suffering the neglect of a mayor who is only concerned about the political confrontation. Because the 139 requests were addressed to the mayor of Lorca, who was the one who had to start the process to determine the status of property and order the destruction and demolition. Because if there was imminent collapse buildings (essential requirement for the demolition be paid as an emergency) might ask How long does the mayor from July to September without taking any decision on an issue as serious? Who would be responsible for the collapse of some of these buildings without the mayor has decreed they are in ruins or are to demolish three months after the request by the neighbors? The Government Office can not assume the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the popular team of the City of Lorca because by law you are not allowed, being the sole responsibility of municipal ".
The Socialist councilor pointed out that "if the mayor had been answered in the month of July and August to the demands of the neighbors and had started well the relevant files, the Delegation of the Government had accepted as it has done with all that entered in a timely manner to the September 5, last day of the legal term.
