| Juan Vicente Larrosa, who talks about the delivery to Urbamusa of the management of this contract in October, still lacking transparency and guarantees , announces that "our legal services will study the case to clarify possible responsibilities" | The councilor, who is firmly committed to the remunicipalisation of services, points out that "this way of awarding parking has effects for workers whose losses and pensions cannot be covered" More than eight months have passed since the "hasty and improvised" award of the Regulated Parking service on the Public Highway, the ORA, and it has not been brought to the Plenary, which is the body that must approve or not the management of this contract.

The Municipal Socialist Group denounced as early as October that "there were many gaps in this process and, above all, what was most was a blatant lack of transparency and of reports that support this municipalization, especially because this decision could seek to cover up other subsequent awards " For the socialist councilor Juan Vicente Larrosa, "in October we did not understand, and we still do not, the delivery to Urbamusa of this contract, which, according to the 2018 data, has benefits of 2,900,146.41 euros" and, although "the PP leaves everything inertia by passing through good procedures that lack a minimum of guarantees, the Socialist Group has already put this matter in the hands of its legal services to clarify possible responsibilities.

" In addition, he points out that "we have a similar case in Torrejón de la Calzada, whose mayor was sentenced for the remunicipalisation of a swimming pool without prior reports, therefore, what we denounce today, again, is something very serious: an accelerated adjudication without the guarantee that, as established by the Law of Bases of Local Regime, the mandatory reports represent ". In this regard, Larrosa warns that "the Government Board, when it is held, assumes powers that are proper to the Plenary when treating this award as one more item on the weekly agenda, when it must be debated and supported by the majority of the Corporation" . "It is that the City Council seems new, because it is difficult to understand that knowing how far in advance the term of conclusion of contracts is not prepared in time for new awards to be transparent and rigorous, because we Socialists firmly believe that the services that our City Council lends to citizens, they must be provided by himself, we believe in remunicipalisation, but of course, not at any price and in any way "and he asks:" what have our neighbors gained by handing over to Urbamusa the contract for the ORA? have prices been lowered, the service has more quality? No, the areas have been expanded to earn more.

The effort to collect the PP has no limit.

" In addition, "of course, with this way of proceeding and when we read that it is up to the councilor Rebeca Pérez to make decisions about this service, our doubts increase about an award that is directed, malicious and witty.

We must be more meticulous and severe with money and public services, "he declares. Therefore, after eight months, "we find that Urbamusa is left with the management of this service without the preliminary reports, for example, where the technical and economic memory are, as well as the legal report where the situation of starting where? We also do not know of the existence of a technical and economic feasibility study to determine the profitability of the service.

" Larrosa points out that "in his day we were not satisfied, and the longer the time elapses, the more suspicions we have about the award of the ORA, which was sold to us as a remunicipalisation of the service", adding that "we are talking about contracts that move a significant volume of money, and this requires seriousness and a lot of transparency ", nevertheless," the government team either does not monitor public contracts or does so using procedures full of randomness and obscurantism ". This, in the words of the socialist mayor, also implies consequences for the workers themselves, assumed by Urbamusa in October, but whose casualties and retirements are not being covered because, according to what they tell us, this award is in limbo and the employees in a situation interim ". Likewise, "it implies that the workers assume a greater control perimeter, which makes the service of lower quality and the fines may be undue, since if the ratio was 150 vehicles per controller, that number is exceeded for many days, because you can't hire employees to replace casualties.

" Finally, Larrosa states that "we do not know if the fact that the PP delivered this contract to Urbamusa, who assumed the human and material resources of the previous company and who has already invested in a new app for paying by the minute, was something provisional, but the truth is that there is not a single data on the sustainability and efficiency of the service ".
