The 'Infoparticipa' project, which includes researchers from the University of Murcia (UMU) and the Catholic University (UCAM), places the website of the City of Caravaca as one of the worst rated in terms of transparency refers the 45 municipalities of the Region of Murcia, being the Northwest Region, in general, the worst rated in this indicator.
The study, released this week by the newspaper La Opinion, points out that while many municipalities in the region have improved their transparency indices over the past year, others, as in the case of Caravaca de la Cruz, still pulling some results very bad, even back in 2016 regarding the study in 2015.
"The City of Caravaca does homework on transparency and is at the tail of the reproachable murcianos.Algo municipalities in itself, since the measures of Law 19/2013 on Transparency, Access are not met to Information public and Good Governance. But in the case of Caravaca, is even more serious, as the PSOE was presented to the elections with an empty program, which made transparency its main promise to the neighbors, "said spokesman Popular party, Jose Francisco Garcia.
One of the first measures of the socialist government was the creation of a specific area of ​​Transparency, led by a council released.
He also removed the Office Registry Complaints and suggestions Town Hall, losing visibility and direct contact with the public, and this public service brought to an office which opens three days a week, opened with great fanfare.
For the popular spokesman, "they have not taken the most basic decisions of the Law of Transparency and now want to sell the hasty idea of ​​participatory budgeting, starting the cart before the horse. Not to be in smoke, real and effective citizen participation requires of planning and some preliminary steps which unfortunately have not been given. "
Caravaca the PSOE government went from saying that he would hold the first plenary session of the legislature on the street not provide citizens with public data that are entitled to know by law, such as contracts and agreements signed, grants and granted state aid, budgets, representation expenses or resolutions, among others.
"Today no means an armored administration, citizens want to know and participate in public affairs that affect them. Rather than open government promised in the actual campaign are closed and barred government," expressed Jose Francisco García.
As other examples of lack of transparency, the spokesman of the popular recalled that has not launched the Replay Project of the Autonomous Community, approved in plenary and is offering very good results in the municipalities that are launching, since the full allows viewing at any time separated motions.
Another example is the composition of the board of Caravaca Radio, in which all political groups of the Corporation and currently only the PSOE before were represented, with officials who are also close relatives of elected representatives of the government team.
