The PP urges the current local government to draft and publicly expose the required municipal plan so that the weekly market can be held in the Huerto de la Rueda, as well as those that usually take place in the districts of our municipalityMari Huertas García requests that the city council have a special device for distributing disinfectant masks, gloves and gels at the main accesses to the markets so that they are carried out with optimal security conditionsThe Councilor for Citizen Participation in the City of Lorca for the Popular Party, Mari Huertas García, has reported that the decision of our regional president, Fernando López Miras, that the Autonomous Community advance to phase 1 of de-escalation will allow the recovery of the traditional weekly market on Thursdays in the Huerto de la Rueda, as well as all those held in our districts.

We are talking about very good news both for the gradual recovery of normality, and for the people of Lorca who tend to travel to it, and, in particular, for the sellers who participate in this market, and who have been unable to exercise their job.This group of professionals is being seriously affected by the restrictions established as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, accumulating weeks without having the possibility of having income derived from their activity and facing economic losses that suppose the sustenance for their families.

That is why we encourage all citizens to benefit from this service and go to the market to make their purchases, thus demonstrating their solidarity with the group of sellers, and maintaining the established health protection recommendations.We demand that the City Council establish a special device for the distribution of masks, gloves and disinfecting gels at the main entrances to the Huerto de la Rueda next Thursday, as well as in the other markets that are held in districts, with the aim of helping to These events are carried out with the security conditions that the current health situation demands.Mari Huertas García has urged the Municipal Council to urgently proceed and to make known both the users of the market and the vendors that comprise it, the development plan and new market design that has been required in order to celebrate it, because the vendors have been standing for two months and cannot lose another minute.

It is thus to comply with the guidelines and recommendations of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health.

We are talking about an essential document so that its celebration complies with security measures and can be carried out with all the guarantees, both for sellers and their workers and for customers.

It should be noted that this competence is the responsibility of the city council, as indicated by the regional law 3/2014, of July 2, on Mobile or Non-Sedentary Sales.From the PP they insist that non-sedentary sales constitute a traditional trade modality with deep roots in the Region of Murcia, and in our municipality, which undoubtedly affects job creation.

The local markets are not mere places of connection between the rural environment and the city, they are also centers of dynamism in each municipality and region, since the benefit of their celebrations is not only limited to sales.

Markets contribute to commercial and social dynamism.Special attention to public and private markets in districtsMari Huertas García has pointed out that this change in the de-escalation process does not only refer to the Thursday market in the Huerto de la Rueda, but allows those that are also made in the different districts of our municipal area to be recovered, being some of them private.

It is for this fact that we demand that the current local government carry out advisory and monitoring work as a preventive measure, informing the organizers of these markets of the new conditions that must prevail for its correct development.

We must point out that these events have a remarkable reception and popularity, and hundreds of people from Lorca regularly attend them.
