| Announces that he will not give his support to the PSOE again if he is his candidate in 2023 | The Assembly of militants of this party has also agreed to request explanations from the general secretaries of the PSOE and the PSRM, Pedro Sánchez and Diego Conesa respectively, for the "ideological drift" of their mayor, who has used the votes of IU to govern with the only councilman of C's, the liberal Francisco Morales, and now he has thrown himself into the arms of the extreme right of VOX The militants of Izquierda Unida-Verdes Lorca have decided today, by acclamation, in an extraordinary assembly, to "consider broken" the programmatic agreement by which the two councilors of this formation made possible the investiture as mayor of Diego José Mateos (PSOE) in June 2019. The IU-Verdes bases have considered it "absurd" to make an effort to maintain a pact that the mayor has breached "flagrantly" from minute one after getting, "with tricks and lies," sit in the mayor's chair.

In fact, the political relationship between Mateos and the IU councilors is "practically non-existent", because he has preferred to weave alliances with the parties of the right and the extreme right in Lorca. Mateos has also refused to give participation in the municipal government to IU, as he had verbally promised hours before his inauguration.

In this regard, the councilors of this party, Pedro Sosa and Gloria Martín, have explained to their colleagues the details of the negotiations carried out last July and in which the mayor came to announce the delegations that would be made.

responsible.

"It was all a pantomime because he never intended to do anything that would force him to practice a true leftist policy in Lorca," they assured. The "red line" that has filled the patience of the bases of IU is that Mateos has agreed on the fiscal policy of the City Council with VOX, without even meeting with Sosa and Martín.

"Our support for his inauguration was not for him to agree with the extreme right on the main municipal management tools," said Sosa and Martín, who have described Mateos' strategy as "provocation" and "betrayal" of the working class and the collectives.

he promised to defend, and even to the historical memory of his own party. The militancy of the left-wing formation has ruled out the presentation of a motion of censure that, in any case, does not depend on the sole will of IU and that, to prosper, it would necessarily have to count on the participation of the VOX councilors.

"We, as an organization, are not going to facilitate the entry of extreme right policies into the Lorca government," a step that Mateos has taken, who would already be negotiating the approval of the next budgets with the councilors of the formation of Santiago Abascal. Also by acclamation, the bases of Izquierda Unida-Verdes Lorca have approved not to give support to the PSOE in a future investiture vote if their candidate is Diego José Mateos.

"He is not a man of his word and has shown not to have the slightest respect for the left-wing electorate or for the memory of those who left their skin working for a progressive Lorca." "We are not going to allow more cynicism and hypocrisy from the still mayor," they assured. The IU militancy has also agreed that its local and regional management bodies request explanations from the general secretaries of the PSOE and the PSRM, Pedro Sánchez and Diego Conesa respectively, for the "ideological drift" of their mayor, who has used the IU votes to govern with the only C's councilor, the liberal Francisco Morales, and "now he has thrown himself into the arms of the far right." "At least, in the PSOE other mayors have been filed", said the councilors of IU, who warned that the credibility of Conesa, which aspires to preside over the Government of the Region of Murcia, is "in question" without consent one of its mayors makes concessions to the far-right VOX party, to the detriment of the social policies of the PSOE. Finally, Sosa and Martín, who were applauded by their fellow party members, have said they feel liberated "from any commitment to Mateos" and have announced that the rest of the term they will continue in their line of making a "firm" and "constructive" opposition.

for the benefit of Lorca citizens.

In that sense, they assured that they will take advantage of the minority situation of the Mateos government to bring "the voice of the neighbors, workers and social groups to the City Council, fighting every motion and every amendment so that justice is practiced in the municipality Social".
