Responsible for Economic Affairs of the Socialist Municipal Group, Rafael Ruiz, began his appearance by saying that "from the Municipal Socialist Group we want to clarify that the amendment of the Tax Ordinance proposed in Parliament to be held today, carries a strong increase in some fees and public costs relating to the use of sports facilities. This change is imposed by the Adjustment Plan and not the result, as assured by policy makers, a process of approval of the prices with other municipalities neighbors. also amending rates for courses at the School of Music, the People's University, School of Municipal and those relating to traffic fines. "

Ruiz stated that "the percentage increase to be carried out is not 25% as stated above, since for the most used services (sports halls, tennis courts, paddle courts, running tracks, swimming pools, etc.) are more than 35%. Most unfortunate of these price increases is levied on the poorer classes, who are the majority make use of these facilities, because they have no other resources. There are other social classes which, fortunately, no need to attend these public services, either because they have special means to perform certain activities or can afford to be members of any entity to perform these procedures. "

The mayor continued his appearance Lorca noting that "for the modification of bus fare, seems exaggerated the revision of the total ticket price only by 20%. Not aware of the concession contract that the City has with this company but, as shown in the motion, to the company, it is not necessary, an economic study in order to exercise their right to set the new price that feels right "

Lopez Ruiz has clarified that "would seem more logical to apply the rates of price increase set by the INE (so that the ticket price would be set at 1.05 euros and 1.20 euros not, as intended ) since similar arguments presented have little weight. fuel costs is not a reason that only serve to 2012, then in 2010 and 2011 and had similar increases. The decrease in the number of users, rather than attributing it to the Spain's economic crisis, we should think that is one of the effects of the disaster suffered by Lorca. The more people who use this mode of transport is found in the most remote parts of the city and we all know that both the district Vine like San Cristobal have a substantial number of persons displaced by the earthquakes. "

Lorca The politician stressed that "we think the solution is not only rising to 20% of the ticket but also the concessionaire should consider improving the service to make it more attractive to users (better access for people using this service, more timely, shorten the time between a bus and another, etc.).
