The councilman of Pedanías and Barrios, Marco Antonio Fernandez, has denounced this morning that the former head of Sucina, José Mercader, has been prosecuted and condemned for irregularities committed in the exercise of his public office, both in civil courts and in the courts of the contentious-administrative, after receiving numerous denunciations of companies and individuals.
"The irregular performance of José Mercader has meant for the City Council, and therefore for all Murcia a total of five convictions in the administrative area, a conviction in civil courts and dozens of administrative complaint files," has Fernandez indicated.
The councilor stressed that "the irregular management has been an embezzlement for the City of Murcia of more than 200,000 euros, ie a budget that is double the annual budget of the Sucina Board, amount that Mercader now owes to the City Council, and all Murcia. "
Along with these lawsuits through civil and administrative litigation, we must add that currently José Mercader is accused or investigated in a criminal proceeding for hiring suppliers on behalf of the City of Murcia in an irregular manner, appreciating the prosecutor in his conduct "there are signs of criminality".
"These official data, clear and resounding, evidence the lack of absolute legitimacy of José Mercader to claim cleanliness, when he has his house full of garbage." José Mercader is not entitled to return to be pedáneo or exercise any public office, for what we demand from the Socialist Party to separate this gentleman from politics and from any public responsibility, by being involved in cases of corruption, "Fernandez claimed.
The councilor has also criticized criticized that "Mercader believes that politics is a television show." We are already accustomed to his extravagances, both from the Government, and even from his own party, the PSOE, where many of his colleagues they ashamed of their way of acting. "
Paella, grills and pyrotechnics
With these judgments that Fernandez has made public, he has demonstrated:
- That José Mercader contracted companies in an absolutely irregular manner, bypassing all administrative and contracting regulations.
-What did commissions to companies directly and verbally, without checking budgets.
-Who has commissioned work without knowledge of the Municipal Board, when it was competent for it.
- That the amount of the orders made has far exceeded the budget that the Municipal Board of Sucina had for the whole year.
-The concepts of irregularly commissioned services are as varied as "piroctecnia and fireworks", "megaphone for events", "chairs and tents" or "paellas and parrilladas".
-The irregular management has been an embezzlement for the City of Murcia of more than 200,000 euros, that is, a budget that is double the annual budget of the Board of Sucina.
- Therefore, José Mercader owes the City Council, and all Murcia, an amount of more than 200,000 euros.
