RECONSTRUCTION WITHOUT ILLUSION
The slow pace has resulted in the loss of collective illusion to revitalize urban and economically the city.
The first stones of two buildings in the Vineyard, rebuilding some houses and the recent announcement of the councilor in charge of planning on completion of procedures for reconstruction of the building and the building Residencial Princesa San Mateo, seem to spot the beginning of a process reconstruction of the city being slow and difficult because of different issues, in many cases unrelated to the weak performance management and policy of the authorities concerned, which according to IU-Green results in a loss of collective illusion to renew the city.
(Will it have to be but it certainly does not look or spirit or collective force in the reconstruction).
Not the first time that policy makers talk about the "path of reconstruction."
They did and vehemently with the anniversary of the earthquake, where everyone sang the "mea culpa" and announced that the new decree (11/2012 of March 30) came to lead us correct errors and non-stop on the road reconstruction of the city.
But still it must be said that the reconstruction is more a wish than a reality.
The Town Planning has delayed its licensing provisions.
800 will no longer be the end of August, but at the end of October.
Advice and support the earthquake council to resolve obstacles in the neighboring communities has been very weak, so UI requires more effort in this area.
The processing is being very slow urban, so order as quickly as is necessary in such proceedings, if necessary increased staffing for this function.
We are not acting in the Barrios Altos and we must expose and denounce that there is no specific plan for that purpose.
What could happen to the old town is a mystery.
Efforts should be developing an intervention strategy in listed buildings.
And above all solve the cases that were inhabited for out of the dramatic situation in which some families are.
We have lost the opportunity to renew the planning and improving our urban environment.
Unfortunately ideas competition will not serve for anything.
And finally, about the reconstruction of demolished buildings and new construction of public buildings in lorca (state schools for example), we discuss the seismic standard.
We are very concerned that to date has not been carried to the revision of the standard seismic (dating from 2002) and that geologists have claimed with great insistence.
(SEE ATTACHMENT)
2 °. - The relocation policy never existed.
Rents skyrocketed.
There are still families who have difficulty finding housing.
The homes of Sepes not been made.
Compensation and assistance for rent payments were completed before the reconstruction of demolished buildings so you have to demand the extension of measures.
3 °. - We have no systematic data on construction errors, bad practices or analysis of structures in the buildings wrecked by earthquakes in Lorca, so considering it is a right of citizens, we must demand and call for the government den.
4 °. - We demand debate on the Plan and the loan Lorca European Investment Bank.
5 °. - Criticize the agreement of the Mayor regarding the fate of the 21 million from the solidarity fund of the European Union.
6 °. - Representation of specific actions:
What reason is there for not begun the restoration of the Conservatory of Music Lorca?.
What time limits set the City Council to end the rehabilitation of heritage buildings such as the Garden Theatre Ruano or War?.
What time limits have been marked for reopening the Sports Complex Europe?.
Why has not been rehabilitated since the IES Ibáñez Martín gym?.
7 °. - Finally IU-Green urges the Joint Commission to expedite the work and promptly resolve pending applications.

Geologists warn about the slowness of "lessons learned" from the earthquake
10.05.12 - 00:58 -
"If there was another earthquake in the area of ​​Lorca, in a period of 10 years would not have learned the lesson", warns Luis Suarez, president of the Association of Geologists.
He adds that "there are issues that are more dependent on planning and coordination between administrations, that of investment."
The Bar Association of Geologists claim that a year after the earthquake in Lorca, has not yet developed a plan of seismic risk for the south and southeast of Spain.
Pending the seismic upgrade of the standard to include geological and seismological criteria.
Suarez says that "we understand that the geological time and the political time is different, but it is necessary that all administrations to overturn and internalize the problem."
In this regard notes that the return period in the failure of Lorca-Alhama or Totana is about 50 years, according to historical statistics.
In the past 400 years there have been 8 earthquakes in the area.
"That means there could be a similar magnitude earthquake within 10 years. If so, we would not have learned the lesson."
After the earthquake in Lorca, the Association of Geologists developed a "Decalogue to minimize the risk of earthquakes in Spain ', sent to all governments and political parties.
"We saw evidence that it favorably, but the real impetus was weak."
In addition, a proposed collaboration with the Government of Murcia in counseling and information, but has not signed the agreement for the training of municipal technicians and information yet. "The revision of the standard seismic is underway but has not updated yet.
