José Antonio Serrano, said today that he intends to lead a project that makes the capital of the region "a decentralized, integrated, sustainable, cohesive and egalitarian" and that does not treat the residents of districts as "citizens of third ", which is what the PP does" while the money is spent on megalomaniacal projects such as the pedestrianization of Alfonso X El Sabio and Murcia Río ".
This has been said in the framework of the 'Municipal Conference of Huerta and Decentralization.
A municipality at the service of citizenship and the common good ', which has been organized by the Municipal Association of PSRM-PSOE in Murcia and has been held today in the district of Zeneta.

Sarriá has exposed that the residents of districts are "fed up" with the "discrimination" they suffer.
"They only remember us in the electoral campaign," he said.
Serrano has endorsed the words of the socialist representative in Zeneta.
"The inhabitants who do not reside in the city are treated as if they were third-class citizens while the City Council spends money on megalomaniacal projects such as the pedestrianization of Alfonso X El Sabio and Murcia Río," said the general secretary of the Municipal Association of the PSOE, who has impacted on "the value of the Huerta" and has recalled that "50% of it has already been lost".

María Belén Meseguer, Secretary of Agriculture of the Municipal Executive Commission;
and Enrique Ayuso, councilor of the City of Murcia.
Sanchez, who represents and defends the interests of more than 22,000 farmers, has made it clear that "for Huerta to have the most important thing is that there are garden and huertanas" and that this space has not disappeared, "but it is still productive."
"The predatory urbanism has done a tremendous damage to the Huerta, which has become the site of construction of chalets with swimming pool and, in addition, is the largest illegal industrial estate in Spain," said Moreno.
Meanwhile, Meseguer has proposed "a brand of quality associated with the product of the Huerta de Murcia that has a distribution network of proximity and that is certified zero waste" and Ayuso has claimed "a Territorial Plan of the Huerta de Murcia so that lasts a thousand years more. "

Sara Hernandez, who has told her experience of government in Getafe, has stressed that "Participation is necessary because it gives us great lessons in humility when we have to recognize our mistakes" and added that in order to make good political management "transparency and patience, because it does not consist in coming to demand but to propose ".
"In Getafe we ​​assigned the same amount to all the neighborhoods, since the smaller ones also had more needs, here you can do it by sections, but you have to define it and take care to do it by population since there is no more inequality to treat as unequal equals. ", he has apostilled.
"We must dignify the name and salary of the mayors, the City Council requires the districts a transparency that he does not practice," said Navarro.
Then Susana Hernandez said that "from the opposition in the City we managed to double the money directly managed by the municipal boards."
"That from the opposition, imagine if we were governing," he said.
