The Lorca parador in the Bárcenas papers with possible bites and, again, almost a million euros to be returned for another urban development agreement (03/12/2020)

| This week two dire consequences of the many excesses of local governments jump to the political agenda with absolute majority of the PSOE of "entresiglos" | 03.12.20.

This week Lorca has been the subject of very relevant bad news, some of it national in scope.

Two stories that have jumped to the media and that bring about the political decisions that were taken by the local governments of Lorca three decades ago. The IU municipal spokesman, Pedro Sosa, summoned the media this morning in what he described as a "press conference of justice, memory and reparation" for the councilors of the United Left of Lorca who, in other past times, they fought with common sense and in defense of the general interest against the urban and megalomaniacal excesses of the governments of a local PSOE with an absolute majority very heeled to the right.

That struggle led them to receive all kinds of the worst possible qualifiers: Antilorquinos, cavemen against progress, etc.

Thus they were crossed out by the members of the PSOE of the moment Antonio Pujante, Enrique González, Antonio Manzanera or Pepe Murcia.

Four councilors who, in Sosa's opinion, were a luxury for this City Council and always worked with honesty, good trade,knowledge of the things at hand, common sense and defense of the general interest. Sosa, with the enlarged photocopy of a page of the newspaper "El País" from last Monday, has affirmed that "Lorca appears in the Barcenas papers." In fact, both the aforementioned newspaper and other important national media reported earlier this week on the police and judicial investigations underway regarding possible awards, illegal commissions and bribes derived from various public contracts in the first years of this century, and among them appear the works of the Parador de Lorca.

For the IU councilor, Lorca's good name is once again tainted and mixed with the worst "political shenanigans" in recent Spanish democratic history. Sosa recalled that the Parador de Lorca is back in the news 15 years later, after forever destroying the best historical landscape of the city of Lorca and destroying essential pages of the History of Lorca, and doing so against the criteria of the entire community of historians, archaeologists and experts who then demanded an alternative location to that hotel facility.

The only thing missing now, after so much destruction, is to learn that this construction could also be involved in the worst and dirtiest political deals. The second unfortunate news of the week that brings cause of the excesses of the past has to do with the possible return of almost one million euros (1 MILLION EUROS) to another of those little exemplary "businessmen" who came to Lorca to sign agreements urban developers with the PSOE of the moment and that, apparently, they invested knowing that, no matter how little it touched them, they always had to "put it in", as these returns now show. They were those bad years in which very few social and political actors (among them IU) maintained the flags of defense of the territory, the environment, the natural and cultural heritage of Lorca and the Region; those years in which brick entrepreneurs in the Murcia Region awarded the "Golden Palette" award to the Mayor of Lorca of the moment. Sosa maintains that he lived very closely, with Antonio Pujante, with Enrique and with Antonio Manzanera, those black years of urban planning a la carte in Lorca in which the PSOE with an absolute majority ruled the City Council.

And in those years, the IU councilor emphasizes, the only ones who opposed the "urban agreements" (with our NO in the plenary sessions of the City Council) were those of Izquierda Unida. Again criticism rained down on us from all sides, from the PSOE, but also from the political right and construction businessmen.

They called us from everything. But time has come to prove us right, and we are still paying for that predatory, stupid and corrupt urban policy.

We have already a few million euros in convictions and returns.

They come from the taxes we Lorca pay.

Some taxes that, had we had other leaders, today we could allocate to more positive and more necessary things. Sosa ends by stating that no one has apologized for that, and that no one has returned a penny (not a euro cent) for that.

And he has concluded by directing a council to the current PSOE in power and to the mayor of Lorca with that famous phrase that "the peoples who forget their history are condemned to repeat it", warning that they are straightening out by leaps and bounds and electing again the worst fellow travelers.
