Conclusions, declarations of Mayor Francisco Jodar:
Most important of all this reconstruction process: it has been the effort of all Lorca which has raised our city.
The effort that every one of our citizens, with their particular personal experience resulting from earthquakes, made an example to imitate.
Without the commitment of Lorca regain his city, Lorca today would not have achieved the progress we have been able to achieve.
Lorca were not only witnessed this development, if they are not directly involved in it.
We left behind very hard times of economic crisis marked by the consequences of the earthquakes of 2011 and the disastrous floods of 2012. But we have never dropped their arms.
Nobody said it was easy to get ahead, and we all know it has not been, nor could imagine it would be so difficult.
Still, Lorca have responded by redoubling its efforts, confirming its commitment to our city and making it possible for today Lorca is recovered.
All Lorca are responsible for recovery because all are convinced that together we will lift this city and will make bigger, better and stronger.
I do not know anyone who has dropped their arms, and that is what defines us and what makes us great.
I remember a phrase uttered in extraordinary plenary session on managing the catastrophe of the earthquake a couple of years ago because it is in full force right now, "Today I can say that I am absolutely and deeply proud to be Lorca, I feel proud of all my neighbors and I am proud to be a Lorca's gritting his teeth to fight for the recovery of this city that no one will ever doubt. "
We still have things to do.
While there is a family with problems we will not be able to be satisfied.
Our work does not end until the last of the families who want to rebuild your home does not get it.
That has been and will be until the end our work.
We continue mediating with all administrations, also with the Consortium for our citizens, as we have done from day one.
Those who want to use the tragedy of the earthquake as a weapon in electoral campaign, I did not expect.
Then I will not find.
That would be disrespectful to our citizens, a stain on the conscience of each.
I have very clear that over the day, is our responsibility as public administrators.
As Mayor of Lorca, much as some insist, I will not fall into the trap of using the issue as a political weapon, as is the story that puts everyone in their place, and I'm not willing to have our children and grandchildren can blame us tomorrow that got lost in silly fights instead of working for Lorca.
In late 2013 I stated that Lorca left behind their most difficult stage, and we opened a new era, a new era of progress and development, founded on different batteries are knowing how to make investment.
Today, close to the fourth anniversary of the earthquake, I can say that Lorca is a city in constant evolution.
We have changed the suffering illusion.
It is becoming Lorca who, endorsing their commitment to this city, he has achieved that, paradoxically, that earthquake made us more united and stronger.
The effort of each and every one of our citizens has enabled the rubble we converted into new buildings;
rebuild more homes than we lost, repairing damaged more than 20,000 homes and getting our economic fabric better.
An illustrative fact about: firms in Lorca who bill more than a million euros increased by 40 during the period 2013/2015.
I can not end any other way that is not showing my infinite gratitude to each and every one of Lorca for their excessive effort to improve our city.
Has done a great job by traders pate, followed by business, our entrepreneurs, investing in Lorca, our neighbors, reaching consensus to rebuild homes, and also those who have made the development of our most important events (Easter) possible including the work of our municipal officials and all of the City Councillors.
Now that you begin to enjoy the fruits of so much effort is time to move on.
We can not afford to stop the project that we are developing in Lorca.
It is everyone's responsibility to continue to show the passion for our city that characterizes this town.
In the coming years we will continue to enjoy the launch of new service infrastructures claiming that this city came decades.
We have a positive present, and am able to ensure all Lorca today is not only true that the best is yet to come, if not the next few years will be an especially fruitful period criteria.
