"The residents of our districts are once again victims of Ballesta's mismanagement.
If he had kept his word, the municipal centers would have been open a month ago and we would never have reached these levels of collapse," criticizes socialist councilor Enrique Lorca.The buildings of the districts where the municipal services are located are still closed today, despite the fact that the Murcia City Council promised that on June 1 they would reopen their doors.
"Since it is in these centers that administrative procedures are carried out for various municipal aids such as the payment of rent for housing, registration, registration or Minimum Life Income (IMV), all procedures are being referred to the center's offices of the municipality, thus collapsing the services "explains Enrique Lorca, socialist councilor."They force the citizens of the districts to go to some collapsed buildings where they have to endure long waiting lines and an appointment that is being delayed by up to 20 days, causing them in many cases to even exceed the deadlines of their procedures.
Once again , while Ballesta is dedicated to announcing slides in the Murcia Río and taking walks through its gardens, it is the residents of our districts who end up paying the consequences of their mismanagement, "protests Lorca.At the end of May the Murcia City Council issued a note in which "it promised to adopt the necessary security measures in these centers so that between June 1 and 8 they could be operational again, but we are on July 3 and we continue no news, "denounces the mayor.
"At that time we already expressed our doubts in a press release because it seemed difficult for us to adopt all the necessary measures in such a short time.
However, now they have had enough time to develop security protocols and guarantee access control in the conditions of pertinent security so much for the citizens as for the civil servants who work there and who by the way are carrying out a commendable job these months.
" applaud the mayor.
"The officials are prepared to attend to the citizens, who is not doing his duties is José Ballesta and the councilor Marco Antonio Fernández, who remember that he is not only in charge of neighborhoods and districts, but also that of personnel, occupational health and occupational risks , for a triple reason should have taken charge of the situation, "says the socialist mayor."We do not understand, therefore, the delay and inconvenience that they are causing to the residents of our districts and the municipality in general.
It is simply a matter of priorities and it seems to Ballesta that it is more of a priority that citizens have a slide so that they can go to their social workers ", reproaches the councilman.Lorca recalled that "very important municipal services for residents are located in the municipal districts.
The mayor's office, citizen services, and in many cases also social or other services that lack their own premises." This being so, "we understand these delays as a contempt for the districts at the times when they most need their City Council," Enrique Lorca regrets.
"We hope that in the next few days Ballesta and Fernández will review their roadmap and begin to prioritize taking into account the needs of their citizens instead of the place where the photo will be the most beautiful," concludes the mayor.
