Subsequently, the full Consortium held on May 15 also approved the dissolution with votes against Eusebio Abellán as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce and of myself as a representative of the PSOE. do not understand why is deleted if it means no savings. "
Lorca The mayor insisted that "to comply with the Law on Budgetary Stability and which results in the elimination of public bodies and, apparently, he has played in our region to campus Consortium and others. From now on, CARM's commitment will depend on the needs and budget availability of the same. This fact makes us very calm. "
Mazurek added that "currently, the elimination of the Consortium assumes that initially expected grades and still pending implementation (Podiatry and Occupational Therapy) will have a difficult start following statements by Commissioner Garcia in which priority misses expansion of the university campus and expected Lorca in Lorca + Plan ".
The Secretary General of the PSOE Lorca, Daniel Martinez, stressed that "we do not understand that from the institutions say that expanding the campus of Lorca is not necessary and in high demand when this action is essential to the growth of that university complex. Today bordering on saturation although only two grades are taught (Nursing and Nutrition and Dietetics) of the four originally planned (missing grades by implementing Occupational Therapy and Podiatry). Obviously, the Campus must be a priority and brake the expansion of it is an impediment to the consolidation and and essential for future expansion. "
The social responsibility has stressed that "to say that the campus of Lorca is not a project generates employment and no serious impact on the local economy is to ignore the momentum that has contributed to revitalizing the area of ​​the Avenue of the Armed Forces and surrounding area. not think it's necessary to explain the economic impact a city supposed to be university. There are plenty of studies that reflect this, noting that supposed to push the rental housing sector, for leisure, culture or hospitality to name just a few examples. "

Lorca If we want to regain its historical importance within the Spanish Southeast, the University Campus project must be obligatorily Lorca one of the drivers for it. "
