MURCIA now ask that from this moment the meetings called officially, is lifted and minutes should be published.
Also, thoroughly revise the rules and procedures governing the City
Very little has taken Ballesta and PP to demonstrate that the new times in the Murcia policy which both have spoken were only rhetoric.
In the first municipal council of Murcia after celebrated for its constitution, the PP has refused to take a vote of the three motions that were on the agenda, to prevent its adoption, as all four groups opposition had signed yesterday an alternative to CP motion, with regard to temporary staff and resources.
José Ballesta has allegedly used the power under the Regulation for not submitting to the vote the motion, claiming that it had been changed from the spoken at the meeting of several days between all groups.
Now Murcia Councilman Luis Bermejo has reminded that this was an "informal, without a call, no act without approval" meeting, and that therefore it was not binding and had complete freedom to present an alternative motion.
Thus, Ballesta has begun its work in the City using a procedural subterfuge of dubious legality.
MURCIA NOW considers that the action of the mayor at the extraordinary plenary session today, with the approval of the Secretary, has been despotic and undemocratic, denying the possibility of voting and debating a motion that had the support of all groups opposition, that is, who had guaranteed the majority.
By denying the voice and vote of the opposition, Ballesta also has denied the citizens they mostly represent.
In the extraordinary plenary session today, the PP has made clear that 20 years of government majority in the city of Murcia have marked his spirit and his understanding and exercise political with an indelible mark of authoritarianism and disregard for the will of others .
The "new times", "dialogue" and "consensus" with which the mouth is filled Ballesta have proven to be the first hurdle empty rhetoric, as has become evident that put maintain the privileges of his party before betting on criteria justice and efficiency for the council.
Moreover, we note that the motion raised by the opposition (which had been drafted by NOW MURCIA) was made from the figures and scales provided by the mayor and the director of personnel.
All numbers given are itemized opposition, contrary to what happens in the partitioned table by the PP to the media, which provides data accumulated we do not know how they got.
MURCIA NOW advocates a democratic and transparent functioning of the city of Murcia, which will apply in future meetings are open and previously officially convened, taking minutes and posting.
The coming days will present a petition in this regard.
NOW MURCIA also undertakes to conduct a thorough review of the regulations and procedures currently governing the functioning of the City.
We understand that the full City Council is the place par excellence of democratic debate, citizen participation and decision-making, and not the way of doing politics PP, consisting of individually call the office doors and making phone calls at midnight.
NOW MURCIA has reached the city of Murcia to open doors and windows, and the PP has had today the first demonstration that times have changed.
