Councilman Municipal Socialist Group, Juan Vicente Larrosa, recalled Tuesday that the biggest cuts in number of buses and frequency in the municipality of Murcia has come from the hand of the current mayor Ballesta in his time as director of the regional government and that these cuts and exorbitant rise in rates have continued with Francisco Bernabé in front of the Ministry.

"We ask the counselor Barnabas to stop lying to citizens of Murcia and take responsibility and that of his party on transport. The PP Ballesta and Barnabas in front of mobility, have been conducted in recent years 40% cut in public transport in the municipality of Murcia, eliminating lines and frequency of buses between districts and center, isolating and marginalizing the residents of the periphery, "said Larrosa.

The Socialist councilor regretted the cynicism shown by "those who are directly responsible for the biggest cuts in transportation and lack of commitment to a Mobility Plan according to the needs of a large and spread municipality. The PP can not give lessons to nobody on this issue, because there are those who have seriously damaged transport in Murcia ".

Larrosa explained that the amendments to the PSOE in the Regional Assembly have not led to less investment in transport, but that game has been redirected to the most disadvantaged groups are taken into account when taking forward the transportation bonds.

"Barnabas lies unblinking, claiming that the attention is focused on the opposition and trying to shake off the responsibility. But the reality is that in relation to transport problems in Murcia, shame on the management of PP in the Autonomous Community and in the city of Murcia. After twenty years not governing pretend now to convince people who cut in and raise bus fares are others, "he added the mayor of the PSOE.

The Socialist councilor demanded the mayor of Murcia and former adviser, José Ballesta, to give the face and reassure the population, concerned about the alarmist statements of Barnabas.
