NOW MURCIA regrets that Ballesta has lost today a great opportunity to make a realistic assessment of the situation of the municipality, "and that instead of this, has chosen as always sell all virtual and nonexistent Murcia, based ads, propaganda and mega projects ".
Faced with this attitude of the mayor, spokeswoman Now Murcia, Alicia Morales, said that the role of municipalist training "is to tell the emperor is naked, showing the reality of the municipality and the difficulties living in their day to day, a important part of Murcia. "
The mayor noted that the role of his group has been "making visible what is invisible by the government team, because it does not correspond to the virtual Murcia trying to always sell, and also, of course, in the debate on the State Municipality held today. "
Morales stressed that "if we talk about real Murcia, which has to do with the daily lives of Murcia and Murcia, we must speak of social policies, because the data in our municipality show that there are many families who have difficulty reaching at the end of the month for places in kindergartens, to access the schoolbooks of their children or to care for their elders. you have to remember that we are together with Ceuta the capital of the province with the highest rate of population at risk of poverty, and that despite this allocate a percentage of the budget to social services far less than other cities. "
The spokesman Now Murcia said that other serious problems of the municipality are "state of public services in the municipality, public transport, especially between city and districts, the opaque and inefficient management of the City and its personnel, the lack of a plan rental housing, the need for fairer IBI; deficiencies in public schools and health infrastructure, the absence of a cultural policy, the deterioration of local trade in favor of large surfaces and their promoters ... ".
Given all these shortcomings, Morales has stressed the need to "make a realistic diagnosis, see what is needed and set priorities for investment", while recalled two of the great 'house brands' PP Municipal "urbanism, which now Murcia has had to stop him feet with Fuensanta Plan or plans Cabezo de Torres and Bacons Bridge, among others, for being unsustainable and illegal" and "corruption, which the Consistory he has not cleaned the house, as we continue with the same structure and high charges against house's time. "
The spokesman also referred to the AVE, "whose arrival without soterrar is a wall in the south of the city that will further differentiate both parts of the municipality, north and south."
Morales has referred to the advent of high speed Murcia as "an endless farce full of promises and half-truths", and encouraged Ballesta to visit once St. Pius or James the Greater, demanding to work to ensure the soterrado arrival AVE.
Morales stressed that 15 months after the full investiture, "Murcia remains a town stuck in the essential themes: transportation, employment, transparency, promotion of small business network and local business, decentralization, modernization of public administration, orchard and heritage , AVE, cultural policy, social services .... "
For Councilwoman Now Murcia, "Murcia and Murcia have an easier life today because Ballesta has launched a campaign on the 'smart cities' or they make a toast to the sun with Murcia River project, nor will fix the problems of our small local businesses that put red carpets in downtown streets. "
The spokesman did not hesitate to point out that the municipal PP "is inflating a propaganda bubble like inflating a housing bubble, and we have all the experience of what happens to bubbles;. Explode us and we ended up paying the usual Ballesta not manage a city, the masquerades. And it will not go down in history as a mayor who ruled his city, but as the mayor who became the city hall in a publicity machine.
Morales said that "already spent time based on pharaonic projects that enrich a few and end up impoverishing the entire city cities. The model Ballesta is whatever they had Gallardón, Bottle, Barberá or camera, an outdated model and also it has led to such problems mayor. "
It has also recalled the predilection of municipal PP by private companies, "as Ferrovial, AGBAR, the UCAM or CESPA, which end up being the beneficiaries of major projects and privatizations But a politician has to choose. bet on a city ​​model that will make life easier for people or bet on a model based on the Biggest life, often also end up as failed projects ".
Given all this, Morales has asked Ballesta to implement "other policies, policies, policies of common sense, anyone can see that are necessary, are those that solve real problems of citizens and make it easier to work best everyday life ".
