The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Maite Espinosa, has analyzed the awareness campaign by the city of Murcia under the slogan 'Do not be pig' Wednesday.

"Greater awareness and education in civics and care of the environment is needed, so a campaign in this regard is necessary, but regret that the burden of having a clean Murcia falls on the residents of the municipality," said the mayor .

"While it is necessary to undertake awareness campaigns, do not believe that the most suitable is called" pigs "to Murcia. The lack of educational activities on citizenship and cleaning is the direct responsibility of the City Council, and so it is that the company awarded the service Cleaning is not doing its job, avoiding areas of Murcia and doing little emphasis on cleanliness in the districts, "Espinosa stated.

The socialist councilor has claimed, therefore, that the concern for cleanliness in the city does not remain only in a campaign with a catchy slogan, but didactic actions undertaken in schools and colleges and cleaning increases by the company responsible for the service.

For the mayor of the Socialist Party is indispensable exemplary role of the City and its services. "If the cleanliness of our streets outside which should be, it would mess much less People are more aware of keeping their streets clean if they they are. It is less likely that someone will pull a role to a clean floor, but you may throw it to the ground and covered with papers and dirt ".

Espinosa Ortiz Roque asked the council to assume the responsibility of the municipality in the state of contamination of the municipality and also of the campaign aimed at citizens, increase the control over the cleaning.

¿Effective enough police?

As for the fines announced by the Department of cleaning, Espinosa wondered if enough police personnel for this increased fines become a reality as the council promises.

"In so far this year, for example, have been 57 fines to dog owners for not picking up their droppings, that is, has been fined 57 people for a population of 500,000 for this reason. This can result in two ways : o that particular problem is not as serious or not enough troops in the streets watching and fining such infringements We fear that this is the second possibility and that, as much as is 'threatening' to fine, the City does not. It has enough troops for a noticeable increase in monitoring these uncivil actions. "
