| The councilor for Sustainable Mobility and Youth, Rebeca Pérez, has regretted that "the mayor Juan Vicente Larrosa shows that he is out of the reality, since all the parties have called the aid approved by the socialist government scarce "| Rebeca Pérez has criticized that "the PSOE is once again leaving the town councils in the lurch, with aid that does not cover even 10% of the losses suffered by the decrease in travelers due to the Covid-19 pandemic" The Councilor for Sustainable Mobility and Youth, Rebeca Pérez, has pointed out that "the PSOE is left alone in the defense of funds for transport that are laughable." The mayor of the PP has apostilled that "the PSOE again leaves the municipalities in the lurch, with aid that does not cover even 10% of the losses suffered by the decrease in travelers due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

No it's nothing new.

It's what they have us sadly used to.

" Pérez has pointed out that "what does surprise me is that the socialists in Murcia City Council try to confuse the public by selling a reality that they know does not exist.

Councilor Juan Vicente Larrosa has been left alone defending the PSOE and demonstrates once again which is out of reality, since all the parties have branded the aid approved by the Pedro Sánchez government as scarce.

" "It is a pity that in such a complicated situation Larrosa has no qualms about doing politics by distorting and manipulating at will, even knowing that his arguments are without any basis." For the popular councilor, "the degree of ignorance of the issue exhibited by Mr.

Larrosa is worrying.

I want to remind you that the Socialist minister José Luis Ábalos promised, in a meeting with the mayors of cities with more than 250,000 inhabitants, aid for € 1 billion worth of reactivating transport and now we find that it offers the tenth part.

We do not believe that knowingly generating false expectations is the most advisable.

We do not work like this.

" Pérez has also explained that "the money from the central government will not even serve us to liquidate what we have to compensate the concession companies so that they continue to provide the service despite the decrease in the number of travelers experienced as a result of the crisis of the coronavirus ". In his opinion, "Mayor Larrosa tries to confuse and conceal in a tortuous way that the government funds, in addition to being insufficient, are not to improve the service, but to partially compensate the concession companies." Regarding the criticisms made by the Socialist councilor on the lines of the districts, Pérez has indicated that "the first thing Mr.

Larrosa has to do is learn the operating system of public transport in Murcia and how the powers are distributed, since, once again, it demands from the City Council issues that are the responsibility of the Autonomous Community ". In any case, the councilor has stated that "we are preparing an ambitious Mobility Plan that will connect the districts to each other and to these territories with the universities and hospitals of reference, with a complete network of dissuasive car parks, transport nodes and new fast lines, addressing mobility in a comprehensive way and not in its minimalist version ". To conclude, Pérez stated that "we continue to advance in the technical study that will lay the foundations for the reorganization of urban transport in Murcia, developing innovative, sustainable and economic means of transport".
