Mario Gomez warns of covert privatization of services, in this case refers to the direct award of the municipal parking company, when it is likely to end up costing a much higher amount than if bid in open competition and transparent

Ballesta Gomez proposes a panel discussion in which all political groups, parking concessionaires and users are present, to reach an agreement to improve service management, cheapen the cost of parking and generate revenue to the City

Citizens spokesman, Mario Gomez, is concerned about the new journey that Mayor Jose Ballesta and his government team designed for the municipal land Urbamusa, beach bar Councillor Roque Ortiz.

covert privatization

In this sense, Gomez said that "when the municipal corporation speaks of remunicipalise services, the PP Ballesta commitment to carry out a covert privatization of services such as car parks, through the direct award or parcels thereof to Urbamusa, with the sole aim of justifying that it has no losses and even though his aim was a completely different ".

What interest now Councilman Ortiz Roque concessions underground car parks ?, Citizens spokesman questioned.

"It is clear that what he wants is to generate business for Urbamusa, a public company owned by the City and the CARM, which the mayor of the PP appropriate, as was his former manager, and with it sure keeps a close link, the less sentimental "he ironized Gomez.

Questionable management model

Moreover, C's spokesman reported that the granting of parking Santa Isabel was the first to beat.

"It was managed by the City Council, which led to the municipal coffers a significant economic, why had to be tendered again granted and since then, like the rest of parking, not only does not cause impairment to loss exchequer, on the contrary, generates a significant annual fee of about 300,000.00 euros ".

It is a model of questionable management Gomez noted -HA but nuanced for those who believe that the canon can directly impact users;

and that the City must not have any income from citizens what we understand as a public service.

Without the Administration loses Urbamusa

According to the spokesman for the Orange formation, the reason for this new modus operandi of the PP is not due to any strategic plan for improving the service or reducing user fees.

"We can only think that Urbamusa, public company without portfolio, would be losses if the administration does not offer business."

Proof of this, according to Gomez, "is that the operating account of Urbamusa has been maintained in recent years thanks to the help that both the City Council and the CARM, have provided based on direct awards of contracts, projects and works, but it has neither the human resources nor sufficient materials to run;

and probably end up costing the exchequer a much higher amount if tendered in an open, transparent ".

The electoral program included Citizens -HA Gomez recalled Urbamusa suppression and incorporation of workers to the relevant departments.

"We understand that public services should be managed directly have to be in the hands of municipal officials, and not the mounted companies ad hoc, to which certain contracts are awarded directly, with the justification that are publicly owned, but that are managed in very peculiar way.

To end

Thus, the formation orange spokesman stressed that "from Citizens consider it necessary to stop these bars, and we are concerned that, far from advancing in that line, is made in the opposite direction."

Proseguido- -HA understand that we must be demanding with the concessionaires parking and provide citizens with affordable efficient service and effective.

And for this -HA C's- spokesman added there are many ways we can study, because what we will not allow is that what currently is a source of revenue for the City will again become, in the interest of a councilor in a new calamity to public coffers.

Panel Discussion

Finally, Gomez has advanced Citizens will propose opening a panel discussion, in which all political groups, concessionary parking and users are present, to reach a management agreement improve service, cheapen the cost of parking and generate revenue to local government.
