The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Susana Hernández, has criticized Thursday "the lack of priorities demonstrated by the Ballesta government to understand that it is more necessary to spend more than 140,000 euros in remodeling a single room of the City Council (which is currently in good condition ) Than to invest that amount in solving other more urgent problems in the consistory.
As an example, Hernández has indicated that there are many shortcomings in the building, such as the lack of changing rooms for the municipal police (who currently use an old storage room without ventilation and without sinks) and an armourer (they take their weapons home) , The toilets in bad conditions and with bad smells, the marble stairs and the stained glass windows of the central zone of the building with cracks, broken floors, doors and walls chipped;
"And almost a whole plant, the first one, practically unused and with a bad image".
The mayor has thus referred to the project approved by the Government Board to remodel the reception room and lobby of the Plenary Hall - the room in which the government meetings are held - for an exact amount of 142,996 euros and that will include the names Of all the mayors of the consistory since the fourteenth century.
"If Ballesta wants his name recorded for posterity, he better do it by appearing in official bulletins solving the problems of neighbors and neighbors," he said.
"It seems incredible to us that, with the needs of reform and improvements that the City Council needs, Ballesta is more concerned about fitting a small room to be able to hang his name, than on solving problems of draft that interfere in the working conditions of municipal officials "Said Hernández.
Finally, Susana Hernández has asked Ballesta "to withdraw the project and stop being so concerned about his image and photos, and to worry more about what is really important for Murcia and Murcia," and concluded: "Yes So much that he is interested in remodeling, he should start by adapting the building to be accessible to all Murcia as there are areas of the same in which a person with reduced mobility has difficulties to transit.
