The Deputy Secretary and Head of the Local Executive Committee on issues related to earthquakes, Antonio Navarro, has begun his appearance recalling that "last March 30, 2012, almost a year late after the earthquakes, was adopted RD 11. / 2012. The decree contained the only novelty compared to previous two Royal Decrees, the recognition that the aid was not reaching the victims, reinforcing our claim that with this aid money should be funding is the Autonomous ".
Navarro has reported that "this Royal Decree provided for the creation of the ICO-Lorca called. This enabled a credit line of 115 million euros that ICO would enter directly into the accounts of the victims, along with another 115 million that the state would. In total 230 million. "
The Socialist leader added that "the same day, March 30, the Secretary of Public Works, Mario Garcés, RD said before presenting the media literally that the victims of the earthquake in Lorca charged within three to four weeks all subsidies that are granted by the Community under the ICO credit line that will be formalized in the coming days. Mr. Mario Garcés, as we all remember, was the former Commissioner and say they threw money dammed aid remained in the accounts of the region ".
"According Garcés said in those statements, projecting the estimated requests and in response to requests that are pending granted, would be outstanding 195 million. Meanwhile, the past few days we saw how the City Council held a good pace you are making payments. claim to have reached Lorca € 36,181,078, ie direct aid to those affected, only paid 18.5% "complete.
A member of the Local Executive Committee of the PSOE has emphasized that "we do not think" good pace ", neither logical nor reasonable that sixteen months after the earthquake, six months after the adoption of the RD. 11/2012 and five months after the statements of Mr. Garcés in reference to all the victims should have been charged, these have been reached only 18.5% of their money. Moreover, with the RD in hand, we believe that it could criminal accountability to responsible or liable for the money that has not reached its destination. And I do these claims based on the contents of its RD, to remember having force of law DR. 11/2012, in the Item 4 says: The Central Government transferred to the Official Credit Institute, within fifteen days as from the date of the decision of the competent body of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia for the granting of aid, the corresponding amounts under arrangements of the Joint Commission referred to Article 7 of Royal Decree-Law 6/2011, of 13 May, and the percentage of funding that is allocated. "
Pérez Navarro has continued to insist that "if money-Files approving the Joint Commission at 15 days is entered in the accounts of the ICO: Why does not reach its beneficiaries? There is no reason to justify it, unless that money has been spent on other things. these figures just given (18.5%) are the reason there are many victims who have not yet received anything, and that almost all communities have not received Owners nothing. But the situation of those who are waiting for Rentals Aids, is even worse if possible. In these cases, after fourteen months waiting for this aid, which some have endured for so long that spending their savings, others help from family and others with the alms of the Bureau for Development, the amount they paid for four months. We have found that many families, after five months, have received only a first entry and nothing else. Moreover, when approach the City Council to ask when it will make the second payment, tell them what the ICO is stopped for now, and do not know when they will start paying again. "
The politician Lorca has launched the following questions, "What's going on? Where are the 195 million euros that according to Mr. Mario Garcés, Undersecretary of Development, should have reached Lorca before the end of April and have only reached 36 million to date? Will be allocating money to meet again Lorca other needs?
Antonio Navarro finished stating that "from the Socialist Party asked to give explanations on the use Lorca is being done with that money and that comes immediately to beneficiary families. Likewise, we believe that it is committing an outrage against displaced families with the issue of rent.'s bleeding and can not afford what they are doing with these families. Especially when as I just read the RD the total amount for each record is in the accounts of the ICO 15 days of being approved by the Joint Commission. "
