NOW MURCIA today regretted that "the mandate of Ballesta and the PP has focused on the anecdotal and the superfluous and has forgotten what is important for the municipality and its neighbors."
Alicia Morales pointed out in the Debate on the State of the Municipality, held this morning, that "the priorities that the PP has chosen in the City of Murcia have left to the margin much of the problems of this municipality and a majority of its people and He has focused on the great projects of the 'Ballesta brand', which are currently still project failures, and he has forgotten everything else, that which brings real well-being to the people. "
The spokeswoman of Now Murcia has stressed that the municipality is "at the tail of Spain in almost all indicators of wealth, social welfare and services."
Thus, Morales has shelled the figures of the municipality at risk of poverty or social exclusion including aspects such as energy poverty or access to housing-;
transport;
pollution;
gender violence;
schooling in day care centers;
transparency;
tourism, and culture.
"In all these areas," he assured, "we have indicators that place us very far from the country's cities equivalent to ours, where the Popular Party has placed us in these almost 25 years of government, and this is not trivial. It means that the citizens of Murcia have it more difficult, they are at a disadvantage with the rest of inhabitants of similar cities. "
Faced with this lack of attention to the needs of the municipality and its neighbors, "we find thousands of euros spent on Urbamusa projects, advertising, videos, photographs, advertisements, hot air balloons and many colored lights."
"Beyond the self-complacent discourses, we need a diagnosis and active policies that straighten the direction of the municipality and solve problems," said the councilor.
"Although Ballesta talks about dialogue, we only see monologues: the monologue of a mayor absorbed in his ivory tower unable to see what the reality of his territory and his people is."
The spokeswoman of Now Murcia has remarked that "according to surveys of living conditions, citizens want decent jobs, public health, quality education and culture, day care, a sustainable environment, affordable energy, more quality of life, surrender of accounts, more transparency and less inequality, these are the areas in which Ballesta and the PP should focus their efforts, instead of expensive megaprojects,
they are not what the city needs and that they do not stop suffering from delays and delays, turning into endless stories ".
Alicia Morales lamented that in the municipality of Murcia "we are losing crucial years in which all cities are immersed in profound processes of transformation and social changes, we do not have a city project here, we have colored lights and Strauss waltzes".
