| "Hoteliers, freelancers and merchants will only receive 40% of the money committed", denounce from the PP of Lorca | On May 14 they assured that they had "mobilized" a million euros, but, according to the figures that we have been able to access at the moment, no more than 400,000 will be earmarked, which is the chronicle of a failure announced • Fulgencio Gil demands that the 600,000 € that the professionals of the productive fabric lose in municipal aid, be destined to a lowering of taxes, adding the savings for the cancellation of Fairs, Easter, cultural activities, celebrations ... The spokesman for the Popular Party in the municipality of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, reported this morning that the "alms" model imposed by the mayor of the Socialists, Mr Mateos, has completely failed, in such a way that the professionals of the productive fabric The self-employed, merchants and hoteliers, hardest hit by the COVID-19 crisis, will only receive 40% of the money they were promised. The deadline for submitting applications for "alms" established by the current mayor ended 22 days ago, specifically on June 23.

That same day they said that they would offer a balance of the approved files, but in the face of the disaster they have caused, they remain "mute".

Lorca is stopped, stagnant, and that is a reality that citizens can verify daily.

How is it possible that it took more than 22 days to publish the bases of these alms, and almost a month after the deadline closed, they still have not dared to make their results public? Lack of management is capital. It has not taken many days for time to prove us right, and the very numbers offered by Mr Mateos confirm that what Lorcans needed to face the economic, social and labor crisis that the coronavirus is causing was the Lorca Plan Responds.

Unfortunately, the local government group responded arrogantly and with contempt to our plan, and now the consequences of its failure are paid by all citizens. The PP leader has stressed that the reality is that this model imposed by the current PSOE government was born badly, without any consensus and turning its back on the affected groups.

So much so that both the Chamber of Commerce and Ceclor and the Platform of Autonomous Workers severely rejected it, pointing out that it was "alms, insufficient, humiliating, very deficient and ambiguous", in addition to "vague" since, literally "the business sector expected "a much more ambitious plan" From the PP we agree that the current mayor should have made a much greater effort.

Instead of simply delaying the payment of taxes, he should have deducted and / or exempted them, as has been done in almost all municipalities. We are going to continue demanding the mayor of the PSOE and his group the aid that hoteliers, merchants and the self-employed need, instead of this outdated and insufficient model that they have unilaterally imposed with the rejection of the productive fabric and the Lorca families. The writing, approval and granting of these "alms" is an unprecedented nonsense, a fiasco and a failure for which the mayor of the Socialists is directly responsible, following the example of his boss Pedro Sánchez. They assured that they had "mobilized" a million euros in aid for merchants, hoteliers and the self-employed, but, according to the figures that we have been able to access at the moment, they are not going to allocate more than 400,000 euros, which constitutes the Chronicle of an announced failure.

We already warned that this was going to happen, that Mr.

Mateos had been seriously mistaken and instead of trying to solve the problems of the professional groups most affected by the economic crisis of COVID-19, they turned their backs on them. The only thing they have achieved is great frustration, a lost opportunity for all the people of Lorca, but, yes, the current local government saves another 600,000 euros approximately.

Now that the city council has more money than ever thanks to the management developed by the PP over the last few years, they would have to take advantage of this inheritance to help people.

However, we find a group of failed government, exhausted and without ideas, which reacts with arrogance and haughtiness when the proposals that Lorca truly needs are transferred to him. And the consequences are suffered by all the people of Lorca, suffering from dirty dirt, neglected and unprotected, which is losing opportunities for progress on a daily basis, while the only projects that are carried out to move the city forward are those that the government has committed and financed of the Popular Party.

They have already made us lose a year, accumulating a degradation never seen in Lorca, which has caused, among other things, that even the residents of some districts, fed up with Mr.

Mateos not responding to their needs, choose to clear their streets.

That had never happened, at this level the attention of the city council has dropped, a precipitous fall that hurts the entire municipality.
