The Councilor for Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration, José Guillén, stresses that "it is mandatory within the specifications, both the previous and the current one, the replacement of these seasonal specimens three times a year"

On the trees of Floridablanca or Artillery Barracks, we take the opportunity to remind the socialist party, that a strict protocol of high temperatures and rain is followed, coordinated with the information issued by the State Meteorological Agency, as well as security forces and bodies, which consists of closing these areas, as a security measure.

"The flowerpots and seasonal flowers are placed, for more than 30 years, always on the same dates, such as Christmas, spring parties and September Fair," highlights the Councilor for Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration, José Guillén , “Because it is mandatory to comply with the specifications, both the previous and the current one, the replacement of these specimens of seasonal flowers three times a year.

The PSOE lies as usual out of ignorance, for not thinking that it does it intentionally badly and I suppose they do it because it hurts to see the important acceptance of the performances in gardens of these years by Murcia. �

He explains that, concretely, the flowers are placed in numerous points of Murcia capital as in Pintor Sobejano, Plano de San Francisco, Díez de Revenga, among others, as well as in neighborhoods of Murcia and in each and every one of the districts when they are celebrated their management parties, in the church, gardens, parks, squares or representative places.

“On the trees of Floridablanca or Artillery Barracks, we take the opportunity to remind the Socialist party, that a strict protocol of high temperatures and rain is followed, coordinated with the information issued by the State Meteorological Agency, as well as security forces and bodies , which consists of closing the areas, as a security measure, and reviewing the specimens, �said the head of Parks and Gardens.

“Without going any further, this summer has had to restrict access to these parks as a measure of prevention and security, another thing is that the socialist party has not gone through there and has not frequented the area much.

They were on vacation while we worked to get our green areas ready, �says the mayor.

"The specimens are subject to thermal stress and as such an episode can occur with some branch, so we prioritize the safety of Murcia," says the mayor.

Likewise, the councilor explains that “all large and monumental specimens are included in the so-called Master Plan and are reviewed by specialist technicians, as well as an expert analyzes their branches to see if there is any possible fissure or problem for the specimen make some action necessary �.

Specifically, "they are cared for and reviewed periodically by specialists and technicians of the STV-Actúa concessionary company, as well as by members of the Park and Garden Service of the City of Murcia."

On the other hand, in the case of the two jacarandas that have been replaced in the Plaza Santa Catalina, "the technicians detected damage from falling hazards in the specimens and injuries to the trunk, which ruled that they be replaced."

"This action is part of the Woodland Master Plan and, therefore, always giving priority to the security of the many Murcia who travel through the central square every day, the specimens were replaced by younger and healthier", explains the head of Parks and gardens.

Regarding the heat, referred to by the socialist party, "it seems that it is not aware of the issues of global warming, because today high temperatures are not an excuse, but a reality."

"We also remind you that the times that an atomization technology is used to moisten the ficus are constant, thus achieving a reduction in water stress of the specimens and avoiding any possible problem in their branches," he concludes.
