The socialists denounce that, once again, the PP government team is looking for "the show and the photo" and point out as proof of this the fact of having organized a neighborhood conference open to participation at nine in the morning, one hour Which complicates and much the neighborhood assistance
"We believe that Ballesta and his team set themselves goals of self-advertising and exhibition, and in that they base the great majority of their actions.These acts are like those first stones that a few years ago were being placed and next to those that the PP posed Knowing that many of these works would never prosper. "
This has been explained by the Councilor of the Socialist Municipal Group, Enrique Ayuso, who has lamented that "participation for the government of Ballesta remains only a holder to get from time to time and not a real objective to work on."
Ayuso has indicated that, in view of the format of the conference, organized in short individual exhibitions of the councilors of government with little time between them, "the PP has only sought the formula to sell, self-promotion, make a rally of their ' (The Murcia River project, the bike lanes that never arrive, the rehabilitation of Santa Eulalia, the endless waiting for the value of the Old Prison or the San Esteban site, the same promises always concentrated in a media soliloquy ) But the interesting thing about a conference of this type would be to give the neighborhood groups the opportunity to participate openly, to take the floor and question, if they wanted to, what the Ballesta government sells as an absolute truth. Both the neighbors and the rest of political groups could insist that the macroprojects that the PP sells without stopping are just smoke and do not respond to the needs
Are real murcian and Murcia.
That we could say if there was real participation, something very difficult when organizing such a day at nine in the morning of a Tuesday, preventing the assistance to associations and neighbors who would have wanted to contribute and enrich a debate that, thus, becomes In a monologue for greater glory of Ballesta ".
"It would also have been convenient," continued Ayuso, "that the rest of the political groups would have been invited as part of this conference and not as a mere public, we have much to say even though we understand that we endanger the headlines of 'Todo va bien' Sell ​​the PP What about the Polygon of La Paz, and transport in districts, and the improvement of traffic and the arrangement of traditional access to the municipality? Why all these issues have no place in the exhibition sweetened What does the PP do its own management? ".
For the Municipal Socialist Group the politics of spectacle, advertisement, search for photography and headlines must cease.
"The main thing is the needs and demands of the neighbors of Murcia and, of course, if they organize a days of neighborhood participation, the most interesting thing is not that each and every one of the councilors of government speak while they smile at the camera , The interesting thing is that it organizes a day to an hour in which any neighbor can approach and propose or claim to the local government what it considers ", insisted the mayor of the PSOE.
"From the PSOE we are the first to bet on the Participation, but it must be a real participation and not a pose." Participation goes beyond an event designed to occupy pages in the press. Respect and comply with the Plenary agreements and listen to the neighbors who come with their demands to the aviaries and not only the few who have been able to approach the Almudí Palace this Tuesday.
In this sense, Ayuso has also criticized that the whole speech of the local government throughout these days has focused on projects and plans for the city center, forgetting the outlying districts and districts, once again.
"Ballesta only has eyes for the urban center (and does not even offer projects in conditions) and completely forgetful of the majority of the Murcia that live in districts and districts with necessities (better sidewalks, communitarian facilities, better accesses by road , Improvement of public transport, etc.), but of that 60% of Murcia the PP does not speak at his rally bus.
Lastly, Enrique Ayuso has demanded that the Ballesta government "put aside its obsession with the focus and focus on truly solving the problems of Murcia and Murcia, investing their time in improving the lives of the neighbors of the municipality in Place of hidden rallies behind the false promise of participation and transparency.
