Responsible for Economic Affairs of the Socialist Municipal Group, Rafael Ruiz, said that "from the Municipal Socialist Group wish to express our complete disagreement and outrage at the treatment from the Regional Government has been given to regional budgets Lorca, 2012 . Not surprisingly, our surprise was to find that capital spending for next year territorialized, the allocations to our town have been reduced by 7,712,211 euros, a 19% less than in 2011. All this having into account the difficult circumstances that is facing our city. "
Lorca The mayor explained that "we are not worth the excuse of the complicated economic situation to which the Autonomous Community must respond for without going further, a neighboring municipality as Puerto Lumbreras has increased the money from regional coffers in a 60.52% and the huge reduction applied to the municipalities of Murcia and Cartagena, 11%, is significantly less than the setback applied to Lorca, locality, after the earthquake occurred on May 11, does not present too buoyant economic situation . From the Socialist Municipal Group understand that Lorca should have been a priority in the regional accounts. "
The Socialist councilor has insisted that "we do not know what steps it has made Mr. Jodar and the Popular Party of our city so that from the Regional Government Lorca undergo such punishment. We see that in shock because the above are only the 2012 Budget 3 items related to past earthquakes: 206,304 euros for a housing rehabilitation, others of $ 10,000 for restoration of historical heritage and a third for $ 10,000 for studies and technical work. Jódar ask the Lord to explain to your satisfaction Lorca with allocations to our town by the Autonomous Community and how you deal with their commitments; such as, for example, the Recovery Plan for the Heritage signed by the three administrations. "
Ruiz wanted to finish by stressing his surprise at "the emergence in the budget of a party of 6 million euros for the construction of the Round South Central in a year as Lorca critical as it will be 2012 and that has been talked about many years. I think it's time to prioritize spending and from Moscow has not responded to the most urgent needs of Lorca. "
