The Socialist councilor Elizabeth Casalduero began his appearance before the media saying "this morning, we make a brief report on the status of Lorca one year after the earthquake. No figures, not demagoguery. With clear messages for the public to understand; demagoguery that, unfortunately, are already others. "
Casalduero has insisted that "one year after the earthquake that devastated Lorca. A year after the terrible tragedy that disrupted our lives. Beyond the promises, of words, of good intentions, what are the facts, and the facts tell us that the Lorca situation is not good. Indeed, for many it is even worse than last year. And the situation is worse for the discouragement, helplessness and pain caused by serious social situations that are living many citizens of Lorca. At initial shock, bind these factors make hundreds of families live in abject despair. "
Lorca The mayor related that "a year later, we have to thank, and welcome, warmth and solidarity have been given to our people. But there is a sad reality. And is nothing but hundreds, thousands of families live outside their homes because they have not reached the aid. The worst thing that can exist in politics, is submission, and even more so when that submission is given to manage and managing a catastrophe such as that suffered Lorca. And that, unfortunately, has been the attitude of our mayor. Lorca had a double whammy. suffer an earthquake and have a mayor who puts the interests of his party to who runs the city. "
Social responsibility has continued to appear saying that "if the Mayor would have the attitude we should have so, Mr. Valcárcel would have been declared persona non grata for this city for many months. We are confident that had belonged to a political party Mr. Jodar different and would have been. We're talking about a president of the Autonomous Community which has allowed the money came not from the state and entered into the coffers of the Regional Administration since last July. A president who has spent months without recognizing that it could not meet its commitments to Lorca. He who has not cared that Lorca do not receive aid, while away to hide their own shame. When it does not hurt to allocate in the budget of the CARM 10 times SOS festival more than rebuilding homes in Lorca. However, to more personal aggrandizement of the poet and scholar advisor Cruz. And not ashamed. What a shame! And, what rage ".
"We sincerely hope you have a calendar full of events on Friday. Hope you do not ever come to take heart in the celebrations when one year has disappeared from our city. We expressly do not come, as the main culprit the situation that is our city, and it would be the biggest insult you could do to the citizens of Lorca, "he added.
Isabel Casalduero stressed that "today, we want to get several questions. What would have happened if from the Autonomous Community had begun to enter the aid back in August, when they began to arrive from the Central Government? May not all be arranged . Not everything would be perfect. But citizens have the feeling that they are not abandoned. What would have happened if they had known all along that they could not afford their share of aid? Unfortunately, I never know. It gives us real shame to see the parade of visiting directors and Lorca authorities within days of the anniversary of the earthquake. We are ashamed that they not be ashamed that we have not seen before. We are ashamed to sell what little they have done as if the people of Lorca had something to thank him. NO. And we say it loud and clear. Lorca citizens have nothing to thank the politicians who govern us. What little, and I emphasize little has been done so far is much less than the minimum to which the regional government had an obligation. That we do not want to transfer the feeling that we have something to thank them. "
The socialist leader said "we give some examples of why: Two schools without building and an unrepaired. The Conservatory without even having a project. Health infrastructures abandoned. Yesterday we got up with the news of the abandonment of the works of South Round. Again, the autonomous region has to abandon major projects and, again, it's up to Lorca. Entire neighborhoods that are literally as if he had to leave the EMU them. Each month, from November, numbers of unemployed in the construction sector, growing steadily. Not that it has managed, with the have to rebuild an entire city. People who by their ignorance and helplessness, and social and personal circumstances are forced to stay in homes at risk of falling between struts. Episodes which the government itself has acknowledged having no recognition. Gentlemen, do not you feel ashamed not to know that Lorca are living situation? ".
Casalduero Jodar has emphasized that "from the Party and the Socialist Municipal Group, we reaffirm our commitment to the people of Lorca to continue doing our daily work of remembering opposition to the government team situation that is living in Lorca. On how many live badly citizens in this city, permanently, from just a year ago. "
The policy has ended Lorca noting that "however, does not want to end without throwing a message of hope. A message of optimism to Lorca. If something good there for Lorca is that following the change of central government to one of their own sign, the Regional Government and does not hurt to recognize that it can not cope with their share of aid. Lorca's earthquake has not become a matter of State for the change of government, on the contrary, the State now of the same sign, requires the autonomous region to meet its part even signing a loan ICO and while passing through the hands of regional government, which even they are wary and Valcarcel and the Board for the risk that credit that money may end up in the box only for the Autonomous Region as happened with the money previously deposited by the Central Government. But after all, the good news is that the aid will start arriving, even if it takes two astronomical salaries, including the Commissioner, with the rank of Secretary of State, representing a salary of approximately € 6,400 per month. And the victims begin to receive aid is the only thing that has always worried. "
