Let's change Murcia has considered today that the "blockade" to investments in districts is an attempt to take municipal councils as "hostages" to force the opposition to support the draft municipal budget for this year.

For this reason, the municipalist formation will present a motion to this month's Plenary to proceed with a budget modification that will activate the investment budget in the same amount as in 2016 and end the "intention of the PP" to press for " At any price "budgets are approved.

This was announced today by the councilor of the municipalist formation, Sergio Ramos, in a press conference in which he has been accompanied by the members of Rincón de Seca, Liliana Mellado;

Of St. Pius X, John David Babyack;

Of Churra, Diego Reina;

San Ginés, Ginés Mirón, and El Palmar, Enrique Baeza, and Antonio Martínez, member of Cambiemos Puente Tocinos.

Ramos has denied that the opposition is blocking the budget, as the PP says, since "there is no project" accounts for this year, but a draft that still has to go through the Municipal Services and the Plenary of the City Council So that it can be amended and modified, and submitted for approval.

A draft that, in the words of the mayor, "is centralizing and again ignore the districts and districts of this municipality, since it again reduces the budget more than half of 8%" and, furthermore, "does not give any solution to The management problems that the municipal boards have daily ".

"It is a text that does not address the social emergency in which we live and continues to bet on pharaonic and unnecessary works, such as Murcia River or the continuous investments in the center of Murcia ignoring the districts, which remind us of another era of PP ".

Through its initiative, Cambiemos Murcia seeks to end the "systematic blockade" of the PP that prevents the boards to execute their investments, and uses "to force the opposition to approve a budget that we do not believe."

In this regard, Ramos has expressed his satisfaction for the PSOE's decision not to support the accounts of the Government team.

The mayor has said that from the economic sector group of his training is working on the drafting of a package of amendments with alternative proposals to change the draft "in a radical way."

He also recalled that last year the Government team only executed 36 percent of the budget, a figure similar to that of 2015.

For her part, Liliana Mellado has indicated that in the districts, where more than 60 percent of the population resides, "we continue to feel citizens of the second, because since last year we are suffering a planned blockade that prevents us from executing what we have Agreed in plenary. "

In the case of Rincón de Seca, "we only executed 28% because we have not extended the rest of the games, which, in addition to affecting the degree of execution, is detrimental to the associations of the districts, which are still waiting for the subsidies To be able to continue working ".

John David Babyack, of San Pio, has denounced this situation in the same direction: "The blockade suffered by the juntas is not accidental, occurred after the municipal elections in 2015 when the PP saw that it was not going to govern in most of the Neighborhoods and districts and decided to implement a blockade policy to prevent the opposition could act with guarantees where it does not govern.

"Last year it was not until the summer when the boards were able to do investment projects, and now we are in the middle of June and we still can not carry out this type of actions in our neighborhoods and pedanias," said Babyack, who added That "we find ourselves with a big deficit" because "the PP has sold smoke for years".

In this regard, he has denounced that when he joined the government of the juntas, the opposition found himself "with patches, patches on the roads, in schools, in activities." But there was no real project to improve the quality of Life of neighbors and neighbors ".

"Schools, associations, roads, avenues, sidewalks and abandoned parks, and even with the four-year legislative project we can respond to everything the PP has not done."

The vocal of Cambiemos Murcia in Churra, Diego Reina, has criticized that although its pedanía has tripled its population by the urban developments, services like the doctor's office "they continue like before", and the response of the PP to the claims of The neighbors to build a new center is that "there is no budget", to which are added problems with counseling because "would refuse to transfer staff and resources" to that new facility.

Enrique Baeza recalled that in El Palmar, where he is vocal, there are seven public schools, some of them "with many deficiencies", and that the blockade is affecting the subsidies received by the associations.

"We were promised a dining room five years ago at CEIP Ciudad de La Paz, a school with 500 students, but the works have not been started despite being included in the budgets of the Autonomous Community," according to Baeza.

"All this because of the neglect of the PP, which wants to overwhelm us with the announcement that until budgets are not approved they will not give facilities in investments in the districts."
