"As there is not a single firm decision to say that the Murcia City Council has incurred in some illegal recruitment of workers, the opposition has decided to act as a judge and part '
The Councilor for Modernization of Administration, Urban Quality and Modernization, José Guillén, has described the extraordinary plenary session this morning as "unnecessary because once again the opposition convenes an Extraordinary Plenary instead of a working meeting, which would have been normal On a subject that affects about 100 people of more than 6,000, that is to say little more than 1% ".
Likewise, the mayor has defined the motion presented by the PSOE, Citizens, Cambiemos Murcia, Now Murcia and the non-attached councilman Luis Bermejo concerning the subrogation of workers from outside companies as "a real insanity because it goes against the law, because It is an issue backed up by the reports of the services, and because it is loaded with assumptions. "
According to Guillén, "there is no doubt about the legality of outsourcing services" and the opposition "only seeks to mess up the image of the City of Murcia, Legal Services and officials of this administration who have favorably supported their reports, because I remember them That there is no final decision declaring an illegal assignment or a single worker of the more than 6,000 people who serve this City Council. "
The mayor recalled that "the City Council created instructions for the proper execution of the management of external services, and was approved by the Governing Board on 17 March."
Guillén stressed that the contracts cited by the opposition in the motion, according to the report of the Secretary General of the Plenary, "have been processed in accordance with applicable legal requirements and in accordance with reports issued by the Directorate of Legal Services of the City Council And the Municipal Intervention, these reports are mandatory according to what is established in the second additional provision of the Contract Law for the Public Sector.We can understand that if the contracting file or specifications that govern the same could incur some legal defect , Including the possible illegal assignment of workers, would have been advised by the legal service. "
In addition, the Secretary General of the City Council, states that the second point of the agreement does not conform to the law.
The councilman asks "if the opposition is asking us to skip the principles of equality, merit and ability."
Privatizations of the PSOE
The mayor also indicated that the motion "is completely confused since they even allude to the remunicipalización, having nothing to do with the illegal transfer of workers, when it was also precisely the PSOE of this City Council that began to privatize many services This City Hall ".
Guillén mentioned the report of the Observatory of Urban Services, an organization attached to the Association for Excellence in Public Services led by the doctor in Law and Economics Sciences and long-time politician Ramon Tamames, who states that the remunicipalisation of public services Can adversely affect the development of cities, employment and working conditions of the sectors involved.
