Diego José Mateos, Socialist candidate for mayor of Lorca, today denounced the media to "the clear and shameful intention of Mr. Jodar and Ms. Ibarra had been hidden in the drawer the project Auditorium and Palace Congresses ".
"We do not know what the real intentions of Mr. Jodar and Mrs. Ibarra on this project whose investment amounts to 14 million euros What we do know is that they have been all these years with the project drafted and obtained funding..; the record has been kept in the drawer, losing some essential months to process the application for recruitment, public tender to award the contract and perform the work of a calm manner and at a suitable pace, "says Diego José Mateos.
Matthew adds that "the severity of this delay, all clear intentioned, is not only manifest deception, because it would be one more of the government team, the really serious is that, having paralyzed this work is endangering funding from European FEDER, vital for the completion of this project funds, since they foresaw that the work should be completed before 31/12/2015 and as everyone can see, in the absence of 10 months, there is nothing ".
In this sense, the Socialist candidate explains that "assuming awarded during the month of February, have just 10 months to fully implement the project, which is a monthly certifications for 1.4 million euros, hard pace for that, surely, will force the city of Lorca to renounce ERDF funds for breach of deadlines.

"No one doubts about the feasibility of implementing a work of 14 million euros in 10 months we arise, but also attended puzzled intend to Jódar and Ibarra of using a recruitment system that prevents companies from Lorca to qualify participate in the tender for this work ", to which he adds that" Jódar seems intent to award directly, "a finger" important work to a public company, the Ministry of Agriculture, based in Madrid ".
"New case of tens of millions of euros (14 million euros, or what is the same, more than 2,300 million pesetas), instead of passing in Lorca and Lorca, by the decision of Jodar, will to evaporate in favor of a company outside without giving any option to amply qualified companies Lorca so they can bid to prevent the money from Lorca go back to outside companies, as has happened, although in this If other with tender and through, in the works of La Viña, San Jose, Alfonso X and San Cristobal "complains Diego José Mateos.
Given this, Mateos requires finger "of the works of the Auditorium and Congress" that the direct award will stall ", immediately start a process of adjudication and so urgent given the option to companies so they can present Lorca Offers and finally those 14 million impact on Lorca and Lorca. "
