The Secretary General of the PSOE Lorca, Daniel Martínez, began his appearance recalling that "this past Sunday, one of the newspapers with the largest circulation national character of individuals performing a raw and realistic X-Lorca when about few days to meet the third anniversary of the terrible earthquake that occurred in our village. "
Martinez has held that "consumed three years since the disaster, saying that" the reconstruction is going well despite the difficulties "is, quite simply, it truthfully. Course they have done things, missing more then three. That is the duty and responsibility of public managers. problem arises when, as happens in the Government of Spain in relation to the economic recovery, taking as a basis a skewed data and do not reflect the whole problem, it makes a narrative of the quite remote situation of reality. course, the PSOE not share complacent and triumphalist analysis of reconstruction and economic revival of Lorca makes the local, regional and national PP. And do not we share because it is false. "
The socialist leader said that "today, more than 3000 Lorca remain displaced from their usual homes and only 4% (50 families) reside in them. Additionally, 13 families live in manufactured homes. From 1650 million euros promised and announced to fanfare and over again, you have landed in Lorca half,. including EUR 459 million paid by the Consortium of Insurance Compensation Of the 230 million euros initially planned as public support for those affected only grants have been approved for 69.4 million euros, representing 30%. To make matters worse, they have only been paid directly to the victims of 28 million euros. This is the reality of Lorca and no other. "
"There are major rebuild health, education and sports facilities. Had to add that reconstruction has not resulted in job creation in the way that the thousands of unemployed waiting Lorca" has completed.
Martínez Fajardo insisted that "the big problem is that Lorca unfortunately abnormal situations start to look like something natural. Is it normal that after three years and after a continuous cascade of announcements, denials, first and second stones, IES Ros Giner remains a lot? Is it normal, existing financing, the victims owed two years of rent subsidies Where is that money? Is it normal that three years later, the promised 300 houses that would boost the SEPES, and which have alleviated the situation that are experiencing those affected, have neither location? honestly and apparently seen, I declare myself unable to discern what is normal and what is not with respect to reconstruction and economic revival of Lorca " .
Daniel Martinez finished warning that "Three years have passed since that fateful May 11, 2011 After this long journey through the wilderness I ask myself a question that undoubtedly share many Lorca. How many years will have to elapse before Lorca returns to normal?. "
