Socialists remember that the municipal council approved in December a motion of urgency by which the PP government had to create a special register so that the affected neighbors could register their damages, an initiative that has not been put into action

The Socialist Group also indicates that Ballesta publicly quantified more than 7.3 million damages caused by the rains in December and criticize that "most problems have not yet been solved, which are aggravated by each new storm"

The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Maite Espinosa, addressed the Councilor of Development, Roque Ortiz, on Tuesday to demand from the Ballesta government information on the degree of compliance (if any) with the interventions announced at the December plenary session in Relation to the damages caused by torrential rains.

"Three days after the strong weather in December, from the Socialist Group we brought a motion of urgency to the plenary session to deal with the damage caused and to require not only detailed information from Ballesta, but also that a special register be set up so that neighbors And neighbors could register their damages and claim help, "explained Espinosa, who has criticized that the registry is still not running and that" neither the neighbors nor the representatives of municipal councils still know where to go in these cases. "

The initiative, which eventually became a joint motion of the whole Corporation, included a commitment by the mayor to send a report to the Autonomous Community and the Ministry of Development with more than 7.3 million euros in interventions needed to To mitigate the damages caused by rains on roads, parks and gardens, sports infrastructures, water supply and sanitation network, heritage and public buildings, etc.

Since then, and despite the times when the storms have hit the municipality again, nothing is known about the investments committed, nor the response of other administrations, "although we know that in the Council of Ministers on 23 December Declared the region as an emergency zone, but we do not know if the council has received aid of some kind or if the government of Ballesta remains waiting to act despite the urgency.

Therefore, the Municipal Socialist Group has asked the PP government for a detailed report of the damages caused by the rains in December and January, "and we want to know what investments have been carried out and which have not, because We are very afraid that a large number of damages have not been remedied and have been aggravated by this new storm, "said the Socialist councilor.

"Unfortunately, every time it rains in Murcia, the problems are repeated: the same streets cut down, the flooded avenue itself, the same flooded gardens, the same circulatory chaos, the weather may be unpredictable, but the consequences we know well because they are The ones of always, so that not to foresee them and to put them solution is of an intolerable negligence ", added the mayor.

The council has insisted on the need for the government of Ballesta "to address the situation once and correct it, investing in solving the problems caused by the rains and that the residents suffer with impotence again and again."

Espinosa concluded by congratulating his work and delivery to the bodies and forces of security, Civil Protection, Firefighters and public employees of various services "who put everything on their side to, despite the shortcomings and inconveniences of lack of resources and personnel , Respond in a professional and close to situations such as those these days.
