The socialist spokesman, José Antonio Serrano, along with the councilman Antonio Benito, offers a press conference to warn that there are 20 gardens whose remodeling should have been completed, as it was the main commitment of the winner to keep the contract

Serrano declares that "our responsibility as councilors and as citizens harmed by this clear waste of money, leads us to request that the termination of the contract be initiated where appropriate"

The spokesman of the Municipal Socialist Group, along with councilman Antonio Benito, has denounced that the contract of Parks and Gardens, endowed with 60 million euros, is being breached by 95% before "the impassive look of the PP, who seems not to hurt public money. "

He added that "we are facing bleeding breaches" in works in 20 gardens, budgeted at 3.7 million euros, and that are the main improvement or commitment of the concessionaire to keep the award of this municipal contract.

Therefore, it is "twenty gardens (La Fama, El Salitre, La Seda, Plano de San Francisco, Malecón ... in addition to ten in districts), whose improvements and conditioning we should be enjoying right now and whose remodeling was scheduled" with the view put in the electoral campaign of the PP, that is, to be inaugurated by Mayor Ballesta, whose councilor responsible for Parks and Gardens, José Guillén, was also the campaign coordinator. "

For his part, Benito has indicated that in addition to these works, 10 medium and 9 lakes or fountains were included, which should be undertaken in six months, a term that in some cases ended in December last year.

In addition, additional works were scheduled: 100 pergolas, 3,000 banks, 15,000 trees, 3,000 trees, 10 ornamental fountains ... "where are they?" Asks the councilor, who also questions "what would happen if the companies that competed to stay with this contract decide to denounce the City Council? ".

In addition, he explained that in clause 19 of the specific administrative conditions it is clearly stated that the breach of any of the conditions contained in the offer and that has been subject to valuation for the award of the contract is cause for termination thereof, and "to date, 44 points out of 100 have been broken."

Therefore, the spokesman, who has lamented that, once again, the city returns to concentrate most of the improvements in gardens compared to the districts, has reported that "our responsibility as councilors and as citizens harmed by this clear Waste of money, we will take all the steps to clarify this contract.First, this morning we have already addressed the Councilors of Parks and Gardens and Hiring; Guillén we warn of their responsibility and their obligation to monitor compliance of this contract and that before these breaches of the contractual obligations we have asked Mario Gómez to initiate the termination of the contract to the winning companies whether or not there is economic damage for the City Council ".

Also, the Municipal Group has requested that in the next meeting of the Commission of Surveillance of the Hiring this one of Parks and Gardens is analyzed "where we will also require the presence of the legal services".
