"We consider it more urgent that the Community pay the 700,000 euros of the rents to the half million destined to expand the residence" says Councilman Antonio Meca

Citizens has asked that "priority be given to the payment of the 700,000 euros pending for rent to those affected by the earthquake, before the extension of the residence for athletes located in the International Beach Volleyball Center".

This has been assured by the local orange spokesman, Antonio Meca, who highlighted the "lack of sensitivity of the regional government and the government team itself to put ahead of the payment of outstanding aid to those affected by the earthquake other considerations, especially when it's about a project that is not urgent or has a social demand. "

Meca refers to the project approved last December, and currently in tender, to expand the residence of athletes, which would involve an investment of 482,000 euros, from the General Directorate of Sports of CARM.

"Given this, we find the silence with which they give to those affected by the non-payment of about 700,000 euros from the Autonomous Community to pay pending rents to the solidarity table for earthquake victims," ​​said Meca, who has requested that the money be used already in the local coffers to pay said rents.

"It is evident that there is money, but apparently they prefer to spend it on hosting some 70 foreign athletes a few days in summer to meet the true needs of hundreds of Lorca," added the mayor. "From Citizens, we consider this investment totally unnecessary and in absolute priority for Lorca "says Meca, who added that" we can not admit that the extension of the residence for beach volleyball athletes is considered more important than the care of hundreds of families who are not paid rent from the Autonomous Community for years ".
