After the objective evidence in the slow process of rebuilding after the earthquake Lorca May 11, 2011, and also with the strengthening of the movement of victims and their expression of complaint to the various political bodies by conducting demonstrations deployed during the months of February and March, as well as by the arrival of a date full of symbolism, as is the anniversary of the events, where society demands results, policy makers have begun a media campaign to expose the meager results so date, explain the latest measures taken, and above all to create a climate of opinion and mood new, renewed, where you want to show that the problems are over and now we are truly in the way of immediate reconstruction.
Concerned that unless scanned with some objectivity, may be established which remains more a wish than a reality near you.
Therefore, it would be analyzing the year as a whole and not just the latest measures, advertisements or public hearings and make it clear that the past twelve months have been extremely difficult, and for governments at all three levels of territorial organization and policy were not to rise to the occasion.
Also there to look very critically at the media blitz and firmly refute the message is released.
That is not true that you are sitting all the bases of the entire reconstruction and Lorca will be rebuilt immediately.
That said, from IU-Greens want to express again in the first place, formally, our sincere feeling of sorrow for the deaths, and also give our support to the families, and wish all the injured are fully recovered, and we know that some are still in treatment.
And before entering the analysis, IU-Green Lorca want again to renew their commitment to society Lorca, as it did in the inaugural speech of the new corporation (June 11, 2011), showing willingness to dialogue, collaboration, support, and of course always on the side of the claim to enforce not only the commitments made by regional and national governments to date, but also the adoption of all measures required to full recovery of Lorca.
With the same need to express, as we said also that the day after the earthquake, we are willing to political cooperation and consensus for the sake of recovery.
Issue that has clearly failed the local government team.
From there, before going properly in the balance, we would like to make some brief responses to the information transmitted in the last days through public appearances by certain politicians in matters having to do with earthquakes.
1 °.
-Housing Sepes -.
We think it unfortunate that made rave about the opportunity, convenience and virtues of modular building, from becoming the overnight on arguments of the past.
Now you decide which is best traditional construction.
Would not something to explain Mr. Mayor?
Is it relegated the criteria of urgency and speed in its construction?
We believe that the parliamentary decision of 13 September 2011, actually may be revised, but also the number of houses or construction system, it should set objective criteria and not "political hand to mouth," which will to be the real needs of housing, contemplating the construction of an appropriate number in the upper districts, to cover the victims of these areas and also serve the regeneration of the housing in the area, contributing equally to the objective of housing decent living for poor families.
2 °.
_Reconstrucción Institutes-the picture is not enough yesterday.
The question might be: Why is the picture there was 6 months ago and why the institute Giner Ros is already registered?.
For when the Arcas Mecca and when the Conservatory?
In this respect it is conceivable that the popular party start times and deadlines to accommodate electoral calendar thinking about the elections of 2015.
3 °.
_Centros Of salud_ In the same vein and obeying the same objectives of present results and create opinion, was presented on Monday the Minister of Health Lorca touting investments (2.5 m. E), while we are without a budget for Lorca is interrupted Centre and the construction of Sutullena Lorca.
Therefore, we are witnessing "a new media display", where no bargains in car trips with officers and board staff, despite the proclaimed policy of austerity and cuts, seeking trust in his conduct.
Balance:
The location data are well known.
Let us remember what we consider most salient:
Not started the reconstruction of any buildings demolished as a result of damage by earthquakes, and must remember that in total amounted to 1,250 homes.
It is estimated that out of the town of Lorca there are about 2,000 families, which could add about 6,000 people.
Public infrastructure must be remembered that there are 2 schools demolished and reconstruction will not complete the course set to reach 2015/2016, and that attending to the most optimistic forecasts.
Not start the repair of the Conservatory, which is a major handicap in serving students, as they now use temporary facilities (CP Ana Caicedo), do not meet the necessary requirements.
We do not know anything about the reconstruction of the health center "Lorca Centre."
New problems ahead if the reconstruction of demolished buildings is not accelerated, since the aid will begin to conclude, both the consortium, as officers for the payment of rent.
Political analysis of the role played by the governments:
The Regional Government has seriously damaged Lorca during the year that has past since retained and did not aid their corresponding 50%.
Also did not include their own budget allocations for the reconstruction of Lorca in the budgets of 2012 and failed to act with the necessary speed in the subject of schools, health centers and sports facilities, all basic public services infrastructure.
The Local Government has been very timid.
Has lacked courage, proximity to victims, advocacy, political clarity, communication with the opposition and victims' associations, and has lacked management skills.
As an example we should mention the situation of around 150 properties that have not yet resolved their application dossier ruin.
Or, use to be made of European experts' report on the full recovery.
Or, in the same sense, the contest of ideas for the reconstruction of Vine and the district of San Fernando.
(How are going to bring those ideas to the private initiative projects already in progress?).
In summary, we have wasted enough time.
Not only that, but the opportunity it provided for a significantly improved urban reconstruction.
We also lost the opportunity of the implementation of a plan of public employment.
The Government of Spain undertakes no need for an economic recovery plan and in that sense extending "almost indefinitely," the consideration of Plan Lorca.
Fringes remain outstanding and situations that are not recognized for access to aid.
We refer to certain types of rental housing, or what is very important, a line of specific support for the reconstruction of the historic listed buildings.
But also, the recovery plan for cultural heritage, has the sponsorship credit, when we have emergencies, such as the Convent of Employers, which should be solved without delay.
The citizens' movement:
The social movement is much more mature and organized.
Its activity, through demonstrations of February 22 in Madrid and Murcia on March 25 have forced the last performances of the various governments.
IU-green renews its commitment and support to their just demands, and undoubtedly will be in the concentration called for Thursday.
The Joint Commission:
IU-Green will request the complete list of resolutions.
Bureau for Development:
I fully share the statements of the Councillor for Social Services in the sense of making a detailed study of cases on the situation of families or persons concerned who have housing problems or even basic needs.
In this regard we reiterate our request to hold an urgent meeting, and that since December 27 has not met the table.
Signed.
José García Murcia
