The Municipal Socialist Party councilor, Isabel Casalduero, began his appearance by striking surreal "situation that has occurred in recent weeks regarding the Fair and Festival 2014, which caused it to be kept in the air celebrating party until recently. There are more than enough reasons to ask that Ms. Martin divest its delegated powers on celebrations has since demonstrated its negligent attitude as improper as a municipal manager who must at all Lorca and the general interest "citizenship.
Casalduero said "the little touch and little involvement by the delegate of councilman Celebrations makes it inadvisable the person responsible for dealing with much of the social fabric of the city to address issues. Speaking of the fair, which until recently has few hours is not clear what bars would have to ride Fairgrounds Huerto de la Rueda and what kind of day fair to be held in the city. "
"As we have been denouncing the Socialist Party, Fair Lorca years that satisfies neither own nor visitors.'s Popular Party has tended to frustrate this party and have been unable to change in two terms, the current model with a more attractive and in keeping with the times that could serve both to give life to our city to attract visitors to it. But is that in the last four years, with the entry team Municipal Government of the current council of Celebration, the situation has deteriorated alarmingly. Not only has not been able to give a necessary shift to the Fair and Festivals of Lorca, but has not even tried "has affected.
The Socialist councilor reported that "again and again the council has refused to hear the petitions of the hoteliers in charge of assembling the bars,. Consider let alone address them So much has come of the situation, which was Friday morning when other council members of the government team had to intervene to make amends to the council and make it back down in his attitude, convocándose a meeting with hoteliers attended Mayor Francisco Jodar, and which were addressed, if not all Some claims of the hoteliers. Tanta reason not lack when they made possible some of the claims brought by asking the council for months. Incredibly, before having "solved" the problem, the council was announcing on a radio show everything was solved when it was absolutely false; trying to fool all Lorca and Lorca. "
Lorca mayor noted that binds the fact that it has not taken until late decision on the model of fair day he wanted to carry out "the conflict with the hoteliers,. One day it came out in the media communication announcing his return to the center with street closure Poplar included, and the next he refused. All this, of course, without being able to meet with the residents of the center and their representatives to find a solution to taste everyone. This has meant that, despite institutional advertising, it has been impossible until late on coherent installation of appropriate safety devices. Ultimately, the Popular Party has won loaded life in the city and now he's trying to Lorca Fair.'s a matter of political will to solve the problems and reach a consensus with those involved and not, as does the council of Celebration, trying to impose their judgment without dialogue or negotiation. "
Isabel Casalduero ended his appearance by highlighting that "the reasons stated above, are more than enough to ask, do not resign, since we do not believe that will be able to recognize its failure and take that step, but that the Mayor of Lorca, head of everything that happens in our town, strip the council of Celebration, Sandra Martinez, its delegated powers in this area. Likewise, it would be of general interest that this situation does not arise again and that the team Government start planning, immediately, in the same time you finish the Fair 2014, the next year, all in collaboration, dialogue and consensus with all stakeholders Hosteleros, associations, neighbors, youth, technical, higher. involved ... and affected stakeholders who are neither more nor less than all Lorca ".
Participatory Fair
The Municipal Socialist Party councilor, Andrea Periago, continued the hearing of his group, noting that "in this situation, since the Socialists want to give a solution that fits, finally, to get a fair Lorca have contented themselves both as visitors. Such a solution is, yes or yes, to involve the Lorca and Lorca in the program settings. means exist, and today, to enable consultation platforms in which citizens can ask what format fair and want, for example, what groups or artists would be willing to pay up to 30 euros, which is what it costs to enter some of the concerts of this fair. Social networks, for example, can be a great tool to ask citizens and thus ascertain the interests and tastes the same. "
Periago has insisted that "it is possible, as we have seen it done in other towns or major cities of Spain, to develop a comprehensive program which, incidentally, comes in time to be announced and publicized both themselves and visitors. Today , Tuesday 16, with three days to the start of the show, it's too late to publicize the Fair program. Ie even submit it today, too late. "
Andrea Periago ended his appearance considering that "you have to involve and therefore listen to citizens, groups, catering ..., so we have a decent holiday city as Lorca. Listening to what they want Lorca and Lorca acertaremos sure. So we requested at the end of the 2013 Fair, and we insist on it. "
