The Municipal Socialist Group criticizes "the inability of the government team to develop and approve a Municipal Accessibility Plan, as well as an Ordinance, when almost three years have elapsed of promises on deadlines", explains Councilor Begoña García Retegui, who asks "How many mandates does the PP need to carry out these projects?"

"It is not normal that in the Plenary session of January 2016, the Councilor for Social Rights and Development Cooperation, Conchita Ruiz will take the proposal to develop an Accessibility Plan, which was approved with modifications unanimously, with the commitment that the same year was underway, and we are in October 2018 without even knowing the draft Plan or the Ordinance, "he says.

Likewise, he points out that "in November 2017, we again filed a complaint in the Plenary and the councilor said that the draft was in an advanced stage, and at that time the complaints of the disability entities and the failure to comply with the the legal term, so Ruiz reiterated that he had proposed to draft the draft in the first quarter of 2018. This motion, which was an initiative of the Municipal Socialist Group, was approved with the abstention of Ciudadanos. "

In addition, the Councilor for Social Rights announced on December 1, 2017 that she was finalizing the presentation of a Municipal Accessibility Plan, accompanied by an Universal Accessibility Ordinance.

"All these dates, which have been broken, leave Ruiz in a very bad place."

García Retegui recalls that "we are in the last quarter of 2018 and we have no accessibility plan or ordinance, so the Socialist Group has submitted a request to the mayor that, if not addressed, will mean a new motion for the next plenary session" .

"It is incomprehensible and unacceptable that the City of Murcia, representing the seventh municipality of Spain, continue postponing this Plan that already have smaller populations," explains the councilor, who adds that "we are not talking about a project that can be delay without consequences, quite the opposite is a document that should be applied for months since every day that is happening is harming hundreds of people with reduced mobility or with difficulties for accessibility to public and private basic services.

For all this, denounces "the incapacity of the councilor of Social Rights announces deadlines that she herself fails, and criticizes the parsimony with which the PP takes this matter, not only an illegality but also a proof that the mayor Ballesta is only concerned about photos and advertisements.
