MURCIA NOW denounced "the excessive occupation" of the Plaza Santo Domingo by the Outlet Fair, organized by the municipality.

Councilwoman Alicia Morales said that "the presence of houses in this square is all too lights, greatly hindering the use and enjoyment usual daily make this public space thousands of Murcia".

The spokesman of the municipal formation emphasizes that "the occupation of space by the booths reaches the point that prevents the use of many banks in the market, which are used mainly by older people. The PP has presented the show saying that is sustainable awareness and respects the environment, but has forgotten to emphasize that it is very disrespectful to the urban environment and the neighbors. "

Morales said that "it is clear that the PP makes this fair poor planning of public space, because its duty is to ensure first that these areas fulfill the function for which they were designed".

The mayor also ensures that the distribution of booths in the square "could cause even security problems, especially in the face of circulation and emergency medical vehicles."

The spokesman Now Murcia recognizes that the fair is a good initiative and understands that there are lot of traders interested in being present in it, but stressed that "the municipal government should take steps to ensure that such an important city public space is not largely disabled for more than a week. "

Morales recalls that while the event "lasts four days, starting tomorrow, has already been fully installed several days."

Councillor stressed that the PP has demonstrated "some problems" with its "use and management of public spaces, with the abusive presence of terraces and restaurants in some streets and squares, without going further in Santo Domingo own."

Morales also remembers "the entirely discretionary use that the municipal government makes this place, as has repeatedly denied its use, just a house for a few hours, to NGOs and associations".

The mayor emphasizes "the exclusionary concept of public space that has the PP, which promotes activities for commercial purposes while putting administrative barriers for use as a meeting point, information point and place to share. The street must be a space social as well as business, but is a function that the municipal government far from wanting to promote, difficult ".

Morales stressed, finally, the need for municipal policies to support small businesses and proximity, "beyond the usual campaigns in Tatters and Silver streets of this fair. Measures to give oxygen to trade in neighborhoods and districts are needed , against the policy of the PP building superstores. the plight of small businesses in the municipality has created the PP for 20 years, promoting freedom of schedules and giving advantages to large surfaces, a scenario that no it is solved by organizing two fairs a year.
