It is about the 50% discount on the IBI and the three million euros for districts promised by Pedro Sánchez and by the socialist deputy Marisol Sánchez, as well as the cancellation of late payment interest to those affected by the return of the aid of earthquakes.

Three requests for amendments that IU-Verdes Lorca sent on November 6 to Parliament through the regional leadership of his party and before which the PSOE, "has closed in band" The councilor for Izquierda Unida-Verdes, Gloria Martín, has harshly criticized that Pedro Sánchez's PSOE has "closed in on" the 80 territorial amendments by United We Can to the General State Budgets, three of them related to the municipality of Lorca. On November 6, Martín sent to the regional leadership Izquierda Unida, on behalf of his local organization, a list of three modifications to the PGE project relating to the 50% IBI bonus, the resumption of the three million euro agreement for investments in districts, as well as the forgiveness of late payment interest for those affected by the repayment of earthquake aid. "We are aware that these proposals were on the table in the negotiations between PSOE and United We Can and that the IU deputies fought to be accepted," said the IU mayor.

However, given the refusal of those of Pedro Sánchez to incorporate territorial amendments, the group led by Pablo Iglesias decided to give up presenting them, something that Martín has considered a "strategic error." "Out of respect for the work we do in local and regional organizations, and which represents the interest of our neighbors, these amendments should have been processed, all the possibilities of negotiation having been exhausted and that afterwards each one would have been portrayed based on their vote" Martin said. Martín has criticized the "cynicism" of the PSOE since, while the Socialists refused to accept the territorial amendments made by the IU, they have presented modifications to their own Budget that affect the autonomous communities that interest them.

This is the case, for example, of five joint amendments by the PSOE and the Cantabrian Regionalist Party to accelerate the arrival of high speed in that community, where both parties govern together.

In this regard, Martín regretted that for a mere matter of "electoral profitability", the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, had failed to fulfill the promises he made to the Lorca during the electoral campaign and ratified by the PSOE deputy from Lorca, Marisol Sánchez.

"Party interests should not be above those of the people who have voted for you",said Martín, who regretted that the lack of weight of the Murcian socialist deputies compared to those of other territories, such as Cantabria, has resulted in the PP, whose amendments have been presented, "ends up defending the measures alone in Congress.

promised for the benefit of the people of Lorca ", which will be voted on today in the Budget Committee. The IU councilor has also reproached United We can for not asserting its "autonomy" and allowing the PSOE to "impose its veto" and unilaterally decided which amendments were to be debated and voted on and which ones were not.

"There is no possible excuse," said the IU mayor, while PSOE and United We Can have agreed on the joint presentation of 21 amendments (most of a technical nature on the tax treatment of official events), and those of Pablo Iglesias have also registered another two, together with ERC and EH Bildu, to suspend evictions without a housing alternative and prevent electricity, water and gas cuts during the COVID-19 crisis. 'Teruel exists' fight for the reopening of the  Guadix Baza Almanzora Lorca railway line On the other hand, Gloria Martín thanked deputy Tomás Guitarte, deputy of the Mixed Group for the 'Teruel Existe' Voters Association, for presenting an amendment to the General State Budgets for the recovery of the Guadix Baza Almanzora Lorca railway.

"It seems to us a magnificent example of inter-territorial solidarity and his gesture should serve as a reflection of the Murcian deputies, who do not lift a finger to recover the rail connection between Lorca and the province of Granada," he said in this regard. Martín wished that Guitarte's amendment be approved to fulfill another great unfulfilled promise by the PP and PSOE and recalled that, in 2018, the Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos, assured the pro-reopening platforms of this railway line that the PGE would increase to 1.6 million euros the item for its informative study.

"It has had to be a deputy from Teruel who demands the fulfillment of this commitment," said Martín, who demanded that the Murcian parliamentarians, from all parties, support this initiative.
