| The Socialist spokesperson and councilor, José Antonio Serrano and Ainhoa ??Sánchez, denounce the economic cut to the boards, the loss of management skills and countless shortcomings carried over from years | Tonight pedáneos mayors and representatives of the PSOE in the municipal meetings will stage at the door of the City Hall, starting at 9:30 p.m., the neglect of their peoples The Municipal Socialist Group has denounced over and over the existing gap, and growing, between districts, neighborhoods and the city center, "to such an extent that we can say that Mayor Ballesta and his team have built a ghetto to separate and shield its environment (which appears clean, full of flowers and orderly) from all our towns and from their neighbors, "according to the spokesperson, José Antonio Serrano, at a press conference. Accompanied by the socialist councilor Ainhoa ??Sánchez, they have shown the economic cut to the boards, the loss of their management capacity and the innumerable deficiencies, even that everything achieved during 2016 and 2017 in terms of an increase in the economic endowment of the municipal boards, thanks to the support of the Municipal Group for Budgets, has been ruined.

After those years, the contribution to the districts and neighborhoods was frozen and now there is a blockage of their accounts with 32% less for current spending, which according to the Municipal Group is the prelude to a budget cut, when the 2020 Budget is approved. "The PP is a party that historically looks towards the neighborhoods and districts from its watchtower without splashing anything and, worse, without caring", however, the mayor "boasts of being in command of the seventh municipality of Spain, But, be careful, Murcia is the seventh municipality because there are 63% of residents who live in districts, whom they forget, discriminate and set aside without scruples, "Serrano said. For her part, Councilor Ainhoa ??Sánchez has assured that this is a sign that "the Government team does not believe in decentralization", and has warned about the blocking of the accounts of the boards that "last year many could not grant Subsidies due to the tremendous delay with which the municipal boards were constituted, and this year, as we do not have the 2020 Budget, and that we are in September, they will not be able to be given either, which means that many sports associations, cultural or any other nature will have very difficult to survive ".

She added: "I have been a pedophile, and I know how important associations are because they appear in places where the City Council does not arrive, where the mayor Pacheco does not arrive with his cultural activities,Coello with his sporting events or the Department of Education, reason why the AMPAS with the subsidies of our boards, supplement these deficiencies ". For all this, he has stated that the government team "neither eats nor lets eat." And "that the councilor for the Treasury does not come to us saying that the municipal boards spend their budget on parties because that is simply not true.

In fact, many boards approved motions to allocate the money from celebrations to food for those affected by the pandemic, or in school material, hygienic-sanitary or adaptation of schools, but the City Council has not authorized these expenses ". Precisely, he recalled that the blocking of the accounts of the boards has already meant that Alquerías cannot create a local trade guide to support small businesses or the signing of collaboration agreements with sports associations in Algezares. The socialist spokesman has listed historical deficiencies in neighborhoods and districts: "We have said it ad nauseam: terrible transportation, minimal investments, scarce services, security with a dropper and meager infrastructure.

One paragraph, everything that is wrong in general, in the districts it is much worse, although it seems impossible ". Finally, both councilors have reported that, "the unbearable situation that the municipal councils are going through has led our pediatric mayors and socialist representatives to stage the abandonment tonight at the door of the Town Hall."
