José Francisco García and Mónica Sánchez have stressed that the first call for these grants was rejected and for the second and third the lack of initiative and enthusiasm of Pepe Moreno team have been the general tone
In the Region of Murcia the selected municipalities have been Molina de Segura, Las Torres de Cotillas, Águilas and Torre Pacheco, which will be distributed 22 million euros
The PP regrets that Caravaca has once again lost the opportunity to receive 5 million euros as the European Union has not selected the Sustainable Urban Development Strategy (EDUSI) that the City Council submitted to the third call for these grants.
The councilors José Francisco García and Mónica Sánchez have explained that in the Region of Murcia the selected municipalities have been Molina de Segura, Las Torres de Cotillas, Águilas and Torre Pacheco, which will be distributed 22 million euros, "several of them governed by the PSOE, so it's not worth the argument that Caravaca has not been given because the PSOE governs. "
Garcia has described as "sad" the news of this denial of EDUSI for Caravaca, "and at the same time we are outraged by how this issue has been taken from the City Council, with little rigor and little enthusiasm."
The popular spokesman recalled that it was the Popular Group that filed a motion urging the government team to appear at the second call for these grants, seeing that no file was moving from the government.
"I think it has been managed fatally from the Department of Urbanism and this joins many other opportunities for lost grants, because even the councilman has believed it, he said that how would the City Council put 1 million euros if they received 5 million, "Garcia finished.
Monica Sanchez explained that both the deadlines and the development of the strategy have influenced this negative result, because at the first call, opened in December 2015, the City Council did not show up.
At the second call the City Council drafted an EDUSI pushed by the motion presented by the Popular Group, but with a short time and hurry the deadlines.
Caravaca was not selected.
"In this third call history is repeated and we have lost again 5 million euros to be able to invest directly in the development of this strategy", explained the mayor.
EDUSI is made based on guidelines set by the European Union, "and in two and a half months, as we did, we thought it was time-free".
"The lack of capacity and illusion of the leaders in urban matters is striking, the lack of initiative is bleak, the great professionals of this highly trained department are wasted," said Mónica Sánchez, who highlighted "the lack of decisions. "
"They have not eliminated bureaucratic obstacles, they have not presented a single proposal on urbanism knowing that we have a General Plan of Management that is deficient, they have not put measures to offer industrial land and avoid the flight of companies to nearby municipalities, have presented fiscal ordinances aimed at helping the socio-economic development of the municipality, "said the councilor, who has asked the councilor for Urbanism a real exercise of self-criticism," because inaction can not be the form of government because Caravaca and its districts deserve Much more".
