Note from PSOE:
The proposal was made by the Jódar own groups of Opposition Spokespersons Board last Monday, but now it does not support belies the intense pressure of public opinion
The Municipal Socialist Party spokesman, Diego Ferrer, accused the mayor of the PP, Francisco Jodar, "attempting to deceive the Lorca", regarding the controversy of higher water bill for next year.
The general secretary of the PSOE also said the strong opposition PSOE mayor plans to have originated it was "unbecoming" of his own words in the last Municipal Board of Spokesmen.
During that meeting, which occurred last Monday, Jódar PSOE and IU proposed the setting up of industrial fee to lower the cost of water for large companies in the municipality.
The proposal, according to a study presented by Aguas de Lorca, would affect the cost of this reduction to other users Lorca, so their bill would increase by 1.5%.
Jódar himself responded to a question by Ferra that the 1.5% increase would add another 6% overall for the 35,000 consumers in the city, something it strongly denies the PSOE.
Ferra said that only we are willing to accept an increase of 1.5% for industrial tariff, if the rest of the people is respected a reduction of 0-8%, which is the reference CPI for the year.
The Socialist leader said Lorca will not consent to charges of "disloyal opposition" of a politician who is accustomed to saying one thing and its opposite "when you feel pressured by public opinion."

Ferra said, "Our job is to control the government team and have it not deviate from the interest citizen said that while" it is not the first time that our work makes the government team to rectify for the sake of Lorca nor be the last. "
