As the participating groups have denounced, the government team does not previously send any documentation on the projects that will be presented or any material to study and have an opinion based on what is going to be presented in the session

Now Murcia denounces that Ballesta denies the voice to the rest of municipal groups so that "nobody spoils his speech to him of autobombo"

Now Murcia has participated today in the session of the Social Council of the City, which the government team also uses as an organ of participation of the Murcia 2020 City Strategy. In today's session, in a Social Council increasingly diminished and with just half of its members participating, there has been an intervention of some councilors of the government team that even the Mayor himself has defined as "excessive" and "too long", and that has monopolized almost all the time of the session.

For Now Murcia, is a lack of respect to the members of the Social Council and the organizations and people they represent, turning them "into a mere passive receiver of the tedious and lengthy speeches of the government team of Mayor Ballesta".

According to the spokesperson of this municipal group, Alicia Morales, "what we have seen today is neither social participation nor accountability, but a pre-campaign meeting of the Popular Party."

The municipal group emphasizes that, as several members of the Council have denounced in their interventions, no previous documentation has been submitted to the participating entities, in order to study the projects to be debated and to have an opinion based on the session that was held today.

Also, from Now Murcia had to require yesterday the Secretary of the Plenary, in the absence of sending even the call and the agenda, which was sent to this group.

Therefore, they will require the Mayor to send the calls, agendas and materials of the presentations and presentations of each point to all the members of the Social Council and to the rest of the municipal groups in future sessions.

In this sense, Murcia now also emphasizes that, contrary to what had been done in previous sessions, today the Mayor has not given the floor to the municipal groups.

Alicia Morales states that "Mr. Mayor Ballesta must remember that, although he does not like it, the rest of the municipal groups represent more than 50% of the citizens of Murcia, and that voice can not be silenced."

Finally, this training emphasizes that, once again and as this Mayor and his team are unfortunately accustomed to, there is no diagnosis of the municipality's problems, there are no clear priorities set, there is no evaluation of the projects and their results , and there is no self-criticism of what has been done so far.

"Ballesta moves with virtual projects, graphic designs and bombastic presentations, without looking at the reality of the municipality," spokeswoman Alicia Morales concludes that "we have been stone guests in a tedious speech of self-aggrandizement".
