Mario Gómez: "The Murcia we can not allow the progressive worsening of this service;
And a return to times past, with workers without charge, in the case of Latbus;
And others on strike, as with the tram "
The municipal group Citizens has warned today that the worsening of public transport in Murcia is a reality.
To the hole of more 15 million generated by the regional and local Administration on public transport, due to the lack of control of the contracts with the concessionaires, uncontrol is united around its workers, some without charge, in the case of Latbus ;
And others on strike, as with the tram.
"We speak of a reality that is further worsening an essential service such as public transport," said Gómez, who has said that "with the data in hand the PP has the dubious honor of having needed only half of the legislature To worsen a service that was already touched. "
Expensive, poor quality and unmonitored
Thus, Gomez has lamented that "the PP is dedicated in body and soul to consolidate the worsening of public transport in our municipality which, paradoxically, is one of the most expensive in Spain.
"In addition," he continued, "the local administration, in the hands of José Ballesta, has not even properly inspected the contracts with the concessionaires, causing this serious economic imbalance that, for now, exceeds 15 million euros."
For the spokesperson for the orange formation, "these evidences are giving rise to the workers of the concessionary companies share with the users the hijacking of the quality of an essential public service."
In this sense, he reminded the PP that the Murcia majority voted to solve their problems, not to make them worse or generate new ones.
"We can not afford to return to times past, with workers without pay and others on strike;
And concession contracts without inspection, "Gomez reiterated.
Therefore, "from our political formation," he stressed, "we will continue to work, through amendments to budgets, for example, to provide this service with the budget items that neighbors have been demanding for decades."
"We have to end the temperance and lack of ideas with which the PP is managing public transport in our municipality," he concluded.
