The Councilor for Employment, Tourism and Culture, Jesús Pacheco, explained to Cambiemos Murcia that "the European Programs Service has existed since 1996, with a municipal structure of officials responsible for the application, management and justification of European projects. La Asomada is a project managed by the European Programs Service as can be any other project that receives European funding and that is managed by that service "

At present, the European Programs Service has nine career officials, an employment official and an indefinite work order.

Also Pacheco has indicated that "We change Murcia misrepresents the information, it has nothing to do with the Municipal Observatory La Asomada with the collaboration that is being developed with the University of Murcia in the framework of the Strategy of City, Murcia 2020 and any other process Participatory ".

The councilman has emphasized that "La Asomada has its origin in the Observatory of Employment and Economy of Murcia within the Micro Project, funded to 75% by the European Social Fund under the Community Initiative EQUAL Community Initiative (2001- 2004) .The Observatory created the basis for the socioeconomic diagnosis of the municipality of Murcia, from which only regional data were available ".

According to Pacheco, "La Asomada does not manage funds, it prepares diagnoses and reports for European Programs service officials to request funds."

In its last stage, since 2010, the Asomada has been managed through two specific public contracts and "has been evolving and being integrated into new projects, always financed by European Funds. In 2015 the contract was awarded to The best offer presented, the Local Initiatives At that time the University of Murcia was not presented as such, nor signed any collaboration agreement "

Pacheco added that "regardless of what has been described above and far beyond the functions of the Asomada Municipal Observatory contract, in recent years a close collaboration has been developed with the University of Murcia (Faculty of Labor Sciences) to The development of other types of actions such as participatory processes, diagnostics and methodology design "

Finally the councilman explained that Europe 2020 is the growth strategy of the European Union for the decade 2010-2020.

There are no targets beyond the year 2020 and therefore there is no agenda beyond that year as Europe sets its targets for specific periods of time and the current is the one that refers to the 2020 strategy "
