The councilor of this formation, Gloria Martín, assured that there are neighbors who are owed up to 28 monthly payments for an amount of more than 8,000 euros.
He also warned that these are families hard hit by the economic crisis derived from Covid-19 and that this money, which belongs to citizens, is badly needed to support their families The councilor for Izquierda Unida-Verdes in Lorca, Gloria Martín, has denounced that there are still unpaid rents by the Autonomous Community to victims of the 2011 earthquakes who needed relocation due to the state of ruin in which their houses were left. This is the case, for example, of some residents of number 12 Marsilla Street, in the Plaza del Ibreño, to which 28 monthly payments are owed (from May 2015 to September 2017) for a total amount of 8,400 euros. Martín explained that residents report that last December the mayor of the city, Diego José Mateos, assured them that the money was "set aside" and that they would collect immediately.
"That was almost a year ago and these families are still in a painful situation of uncertainty without knowing who has their money or when they will release it." The IU councilor assured that some of those affected by the defaults in the Autonomous Community are severely suffering the consequences of the economic crisis derived from Covid-19 and that that money, "which is theirs, they really need to get their jobs done.
families ". Gloria Martín also assured that some neighbors who had to face the process of rebuilding their homes have not received the amounts corresponding to the last 25% of the aid either, despite the fact that they have justified the application of the 75 percent already paid through certifications signed by the technical director of the work and have presented the final certificate of work. On this issue, the mayor of IU-Verdes also asked if the Autonomous Community has paid the City Council of Lorca the debt that it has pending with the solidarity table for the aid that this body was advancing to the neighbors and whose latest data encrypted it in more of 700,000 euros. State's general budgets Gloria Martín has also been critical of the draft General Budget of the State approved by the Government of Spain "in what has to do with Lorca." In this regard, he recalled the commitment expressed a year ago at a rally in Los Alcázares by the President of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, who promised to "disburse" the pending economic resources for the municipality, which come from the time of the earthquakes, "As soon as the legislature was underway." However, there is only one item in the project to tender the projects for the new court buildings in Lorca, which also drops from 8 million to one.
This despite the announcement made by the national deputy of the PSOE, Marisol Sánchez, that the General State Budgets would maintain "fundamental" investments for Lorca, such as the 50% IBI bonus and the 3 million euro agreement for districts.
Nor does there appear any item to forgive late payment interest to those affected who have had to return the aid for repairing the homes damaged by the earthquakes of 2011. "We are not much less satisfied," said Martín, who announced that the councilors of IU-Verdes in Lorca are going to exert "maximum pressure" on the deputies of United We Can so that the Budgets "reflect the commitments made with the people of Lorca, especially those related to the victims of the earthquakes and the residents of districts ".
"We are not going to accept anything else as good and we demand that the deputies, especially those who belong to parties in the government, get used to going down to the territories and consulting the neighbors and those who represent them in the municipalities ", he concluded.
