The Socialists regret that the government team PP recourse to disqualifications towards the opposition, rather than recognizing that, around the works of regeneration in San Cristobal, have not taken the necessary preventive measures that avoid possible landslides, like the one that occurred last Saturday in Street Riquelme.

In turn, they asked the government team to provide the geotechnical study had been conducted before undertaking the works of regeneration in such an unstable hill.

Councilman Municipal Socialist Group, David Romera, has dismissed as "demagogic and disappointing" response of the government team of PP to the statements made by the socialist mayor on Monday to mark the rockslide and sand on a house in the Riquelme street in the neighborhood of San Cristobal on Saturday, and resulted in the destruction of several rooms of the building, miraculously saving his life three occupants.

Romera has read the statements, crossed by the mayor as "disparaging" to its monitoring and municipal opposition.

The mayor has assured surprised that "such a disproportionate response as tone output is not expected."

"If disqualifications are the only thing you have to say a team of government that directs the destinies of this city and its municipality for almost ten years, all that shows is an attitude that is ridiculous and disappointing for all residents of Lorca with this problem, "he laments.

After showing the media a series of photographs taken at the place where occurred last Saturday rockslides, Romera has reported that "the Municipal Socialist Group were not going to sit idly by, so immediately we urge the government team to a technical inspection of those inhabited areas of the Barrios Altos City and the neighborhood of San Cristobal vulnerable to the risk of collapse and rockfall is periodically and regularly conduct to avoid as far as possible that were produced new accidents, always preemptively. "

From there, the response of the government team, said Romera, "was to label us cynical, opportunistic, irresponsible and unconcerned about this issue" when the Municipal Socialist Group, led by its Speaker, Diego José Mateos, "comes calling for months that an urgent solution to this problem is given to prevent further accidents. "

The socialist mayor, in this regard, stressed that "talking about irresponsibility, is not it irresponsible to engage in a horizontal bore and vertically inside the Sierra del Castillo to build an elevator, taking into account the extreme instability of the hill, which can come on the Barrios Altos? ".

David Romera explained that the really serious about what happened on Saturday is that "rockfall on a house inhabited in the neighborhood of San Cristobal might have to do with the development works that the City and the CARM running from the loan EIB in the upper street. "

David Romera has warned that in these works "in addition to the use of heavy machinery (rollers) on the hill and the occurrence of an outbreak of water in the subsoil that have changed the physical conditions of the land, have not taken the necessary preventive measures to avoid what happened and that had involved the prior consolidation of the hill and the construction of a retaining wall. "

Romera recalled that the ground consists of clay loams which is very unstable when changes in its structure.

Therefore, from the PSOE they require the PP to provide the relevant geotechnical study had been carried out properly before undertaking these works in such an unstable solid, as in such episode occurred last Saturday.

Finally, Romera recognized the actions that have taken place in the Castle Hill and the Barrios Altos to reduce the risk of rockfall over inhabited areas after the earthquake of 2011, but "is not enough, because there are large areas where none it has acted ".

Therefore, they demand the government team "instead of disqualifying, work preventively to avoid occurrence of accidents such as last Saturday, and not afterwards as has been occurring" again.
