The local coordinator UPyD in Lorca, Juan Manuel Cabrera, said that the suspension of the urban project Poncemar "is further evidence of the inability of government management of the Partido Popular in the town of Lorca."
As Cabrera explained, according to the statements appearing in the media, now abandoned, by the housing crisis, "but we have to remind the mayor Francisco Jodar that this is a project that has been going on way too long dead to blame to the crisis. "
"The city government," continued the local coordinator, "always have an excuse when it comes to explain inefficiency" arguing pretext "or the legacy of the previous Government, or past natural disasters or economic crisis."
"The truth is that in more than six years in office, have not been able to provide a definitive solution to this situation."
From Lorca UPyD "We believe the investment conditioning plot as public parking is a patch that involves spending public money on something provisional and unhelpful".
Again the Popular Party of Lorca, "shows us what your development project for the city: asphalt for gardens and cars instead of people."
In addition, Juan Manuel Cabrera has claimed that a real study on the feasibility of the project is completed and to invest in the future and thinking on the real needs of Lorca "instead of waiting for better times to return in real estate speculation."
Cabrera pointed out that because the city lacks greenery "we think that the construction of an underground car park and a green and leisure would be much more beneficial to the life of Lorca and bring a better quality of life."
"Lorca's" continued the local coordinator, "probably the only city in Spain that does not have a single square inch of the park in all its urban center, which we all suffer, worse quality of life."
In conclusion, UPyD Lorca has urged the municipal government to seek solutions to that space located in such a central area, can be used by all Lorca as a leisure and recreation, "instead of trying to just get an economic return ".
