The Municipal Socialist Party councilor, Isabel Casalduero, lamented that have ignored the knowledge and technical ability and professional municipal Lorca in neighborhood regeneration process financed by the EIB loan

The Municipal Socialist Party councilor, Isabel Casalduero, began his appearance lamenting "the excessive role that CARM is taking with regard to the reconstruction of our city," rather than from the Socialist Party look with particular suspicion, as they come to be witness how the city of Lorca is losing ground in favor of the CARM when they should lead this reconstruction process is precisely the Consistory with the Mayor at the head ".

Casalduero stressed that "in this case, we wanted to recall the efforts that are being made with regard to the implementation of various measures of urban renewal, regeneration of public spaces, comprehensive rehabilitation and improvement of accessibility of different neighborhoods damaged by earthquakes 2011, in particular the Vineyard, San Jose, Alfonso X, San Fernando, San Diego, San Pedro and Barrio Altos and access to the Castle. Works financed by the loan from the European Investment Bank to CARM ".

Social responsibility has stated that "it is obvious that the process of rebuilding the neighborhoods of our city is being carried out unilaterally by the CARM, without neighbors, opposition and local institutions, which subsequently reported In short, without truly affected ".

Lorca The mayor reported that "in Parliament dated 26/11/2012 approved a cooperation agreement for collaboration between the city of Lorca and the CARM. In this city, opposition groups warned about the need such management and awards will be made by the City of Lorca as it has enough staff trained to do as well as we arouses suspicion mode CARM act regarding Lorca from earthquakes that occurred. In this Convention, stipulations, exactly in the Third, paragraph 2, the City of Lorca undertook to cooperate with the CARM provide "the necessary technical support for the drafting of technical projects and conducting performances of urbanization, especially in regard the layout and location of infrastructure networks and facilitate appropriate connections of these .... ".

"It's obvious that our City has well trained professionals to provide such service and technical support so that it does not pose any additional cost to our battered city coffers. Seems logical that technical support could have been provided by municipal officials, including through the creation of a multidisciplinary team of engineers, architects and surveyors municipal, besides savings would have guessed that such advice would have been carried out by people with perfect knowledge of the fabric of the neighborhoods of the city and the needs thereof. To our surprise, not only did not use these municipal officials (to remember were those who worked tirelessly in the weeks after the earthquake without any consideration), but based on the agreement, by Board Local Government dated 26/04/2013 (page 300) started hiring record of negotiated procedure without publication of contract "Technical Assistance for Implementation of Development Works and Neighbourhood Renewal in the City of Lorca" has affected.

Lorca policy added that "the bidding amount amounted to 72,600 euros from city coffers. Specifically under an item of expenditure budget of the City of Lorca, to make matters worse, is the provision for repairs of buildings and municipal infrastructure. words, principally the money collected as insurance compensation of the City to fix earthquake-damaged infrastructure and much needed, unfortunately, still. surprise gives us also that procedure (which is required invite at least 3 people or companies trained) is only entitled to invite 3 people (engineers) domiciled in Murcia, all members of the governing Board of the College of Engineering in Civil and ports of Murcia, of whose professionalism no hesitation in any time, but thus despising Lorca trained professionals. Again, money flying to Murcia Lorca when he could have stayed in Lorca ".

Jodar Casalduero stressed that "in Local Government said 24/05/2013 adjudication occurs amounting to 72,479 euros. All this begs a few questions: Did the government team does not trust the good work and their technical capacity? If there was no choice but to outsource why not a technician has invited Lorca? Third, and perhaps this is the question that poses less doubt, have you received any suggestions regarding the Department of Public Works? Finally, from the Municipal Socialist Group we ask what is the degree of action that the City of Lorca is allowed by the Department to manage these vital works to rebuild the city and that certainly should be led by the City Council? ".

Isabel finished Casalduero emphasizing that "ultimately, we believe that this is another blatant demonstration CARM meddling in the process of reconstruction of Lorca that goes far beyond the understandable, and other City Council submission to the dictates that there comes , losing a role that, obviously, corresponds to the City Council as a representative of Lorca and knowledgeable about their situation and their needs.
