Podemos-Equo has requested information on the expense that the City Council had to face for the show organized by the mayor in the Circular Square on the occasion of the Christmas tree lighting.
From the municipal group they consider it "a matter of proportionality; you can decorate the municipality without turning the center into a park of psychedelic lights and with an unattainable light pollution".
"It seems that Ballesta is never enough and that year after year seeks to overcome the waste of the previous Christmas."
The spokesman of the municipal group Podemos-Equo, Ginés Ruiz Maciá, has registered a request for information for the councilor of Festejos with the aim of knowing the real and concrete expenditure of the events held last weekend on the occasion of the inauguration of the tree Christmas of the Circular Square, and the lighting and sound that will remain during the holidays.
"The reason we want to know how much this has cost the Murcia and Murcia is because we consider the dynamics in which the government team led by Ballesta has become useless. Money is never lacking for more colored lights, despite the fact that we don't have resources for other more basic needs. At some point we will have to find a balance. "
In this sense, from the municipal group Podemos-Equo consider that both Christmas decoration and the acts on the occasion of these holidays, are necessary "to set the city, brighten the citizens and stimulate trade", but everything "inside of a balance. "
Ruiz Maciá has described as ridiculous and nonsense the game in which Ballesta has entered, "selling impossible figures and always masking his mismanagement under a curtain of lights and shows that show that his government is only aesthetic."
Singer Chenoa, a light cannon with projection 1 kilometer away, eight artificial snow machines, etc., are figures that, according to the spokesperson of Podemos Equo, are difficult to assume "for a municipality plagued by inequalities and in the that there are so many neighbors with their basic needs uncovered. "
Ruiz Maciá believes that it is time "to stop this dynamic, and plan this kind of acts sensibly, without fuss and adjusting the cost so that Murcia and Murcia can enjoy the holidays without having to give up basic services."
Because, in addition, the spokesman said, "it is not only what it has cost to install all these ornaments, but the energy expenditure that will generate both the lights and the snow cannons operating in a warm and dry municipality like ours";
"If the energy saving that LED technology allows us, we spend it on multiplying the light points by thousands, in the end we consume the same and we spend more on the installation."
Also, from the municipal group, they wanted to influence the inconvenience caused by the lack of planning in the show in the city, "cut streets, traffic jams, agglomerations, etc., a series of collateral damages that we do not deserve nor can we afford" .
From the municipal group Podemos-Equo they have asked Ballesta to reflect and think if "it is worthwhile to put Murcia in this ridiculous competition for having the most ostentatious Christmas decoration, and if it would not be better to compete for being the most fair, equitable city and sustainable.
