Ginés Ruiz Maciá, spokesman for the purple formation in the Murcia City Council, denounces that he has been requesting the legal and economic reports that justify the modification of the management model since October. Podemos has voted no to change the management model of the ORA, raised by the popular government this Monday in the infrastructure commission.
Ginés Ruiz Maciá has defended the negative vote, referring to "irregularities and lack of transparency in the process." The spokesman of the purple formation assures that the management of the ORA was entrusted to Urbamusa in the Governing Board "without going through the Plenary session, which is the competent body for this process".
In addition, he denounces that they knew for ten years when the contract expired "and they waited until there was no time to launch a new contest and have to award the contract in this way". For the councilors of Podemos in the City of Murcia "there is no problem in the municipalization of the service, on the contrary, we are in favor of certain public services being managed directly, but it cannot be done without reports, without transparency and without complying with the legal procedures that are required.
" What's more, for Ginés Ruiz Maciá this is nothing more than a ploy to privatize the service again in a while.
"We have doubts about the financial reports that are made with a three-year forecast.
I suspect that we are going to put the service to public money through Urbamusa and then we will put it out to tender when it is a bonbon and it does not seem correct to me " For Podemos, the government team has had enough time to present all the required reports.
"Now they want us to vote blindly, saying that if we don't, the workers lose their jobs.
If this affects the workers, it will be their fault for not doing things right.
We cannot skip the rules." From the purple formation they remember that "this is a very typical way of working for the Popular Party because" they think they can do what they want without talking to anyone, as if they had 28 councilors, but no, they have 11 and not only do they need the support of other groups also have to do things well and comply with the law.
