-One temporary worker of the Popular Group in the City of Murcia has served as director at least since 2003, although the rule on casual staff states that it can not perform technical work replacing municipal technicians

- Alicia Morales asks that the position be occupied by a municipal technician or submit to public competition

NOW MURCIA requires the PP to clarify at once who and under what working conditions directs the Bernal Theater of El Palmar.

The municipal formation has been asking Councilor Jesús Pacheco for more than two years, without getting any response, about "the opaque and possibly irregular situation that exists in the position of direction of this municipal entity for at least 15 years."

Now Murcia spokeswoman, Alicia Morales, explains that Elvira Pineda has been hired as temporary staff of the Popular Group in the City of Murcia at least since 2003. "In that year the then mayor Chamber hired her as such to be 'director of the Bernal Theater ', the same as in 2007 and 2011. A situation that could border on illegality and that has still been more flagrant with the current mayor, Ballesta, who in 2015 hired Pineda as an occasion to exercise functions of' support for councilors', not as director of the Bernal Theater, despite this, Pineda has continued to appear in public as responsible for the cultural space. "

As Morales explains, the irregularity or even illegality would be that "the rule on casual staff states that it can not perform technical work replacing municipal technicians, and that if they assume some directive function, it must be included in the RPT (List of Work) municipal However, this position does not exist in the Town Hall's RPT, nor is Elvira Pineda mentioned in the list of eventual staff of the PP that publishes the website of the City, despite being hired since 2015. "

The councilor points out that this episode "demonstrates once again that the City Council does not like to resort to municipal technicians, demonstrating a lack of respect and confidence in their work".

Morales affirms that the position of director of the theater "would have to assume municipal technical personnel, or create a square and take it out to public tender, respecting the principles of merit, capacity and publicity that should govern public administration."

Faced with this situation of great opacity and silence on the part of Councilman Pacheco, "giving silence for an answer", Alicia Morales asks "if the mayor of Culture and Mayor Ballesta have something to hide".

Now Murcia spokeswoman regrets that "culture is a great forgotten of this Government of Ballesta.The municipal culture does not have a project and they need huge doses of coordination and transparency, as now Murcia denounce again and again."
