The City does not understand the panic of the opposition to the development of Lorca + Plan
Councilmember Recovery Management is excelling there are some who are determined to paint it all black, when the reality is that Lorca have done an exercise in catharsis with which we managed to turn around a difficult situation.
In fact the more difficult the circumstances are and the more problems were adding, Lorca have redoubled their efforts to move forward with our city.
At no time have dropped their arms, and defeatist messages, some opportunists take a walk from time to time, have accomplished nothing but stir to continue.
Things remain to be resolved, but there is no denying the evidence that reconstruction is progressing well, just need to check it out and street.
The opposition, should any fear of the Plan Lorca +, and contribute to their development rather than attack it.
