The Spokesman of the Municipal Group of IU-Greens in the City of Lorca, Pedro Sosa, appeared tomorrow before the media to make a balance that believes necessary and very clearer public money that has been spent in the reconstruction of Lorca in Which makes the public work.

Sosa, with very precise data, says that since the beginning of the reconstruction work in Lorca after the earthquakes of 2011 has invested in public works the exact figure of 46,031,098 euros.

Of these little more than 46 million euros, local companies have been awarded 4,880,475 euros.

That is to say that the large foreign companies (Ferrovial, ACCIONA, Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas ...) have taken 90% of the public work (and public money) made in our city.

It should be remembered that this money spent in Lorca has been awarded through the City Council and the Regional Ministry of Development and Agriculture.

Undoubtedly, says the IU-V spokesperson, the company that has carried the most millions of jobs has been the one presided over by Rafael del Pino Calvo-Sotelo, this is the Ferrovial company, which alone has awarded more than 26 million Euros.

Ferrovial is also the winner of the last great work to be undertaken in Lorca;

The remodeling of Avenida Juan Carlos I, and this despite competing with other local companies that presented better economic offer, and that have finally been rejected for presenting losses that the local government has described as reckless.

Pedro Sosa affirms that this qualification of recklessness, in the case of the offers presented by local companies for the remodeling of the Avenue of Juan Carlos I, has been produced by small margins of supply percentage much smaller than those in other occasions have not Prevented from being awarded works to other companies.

In this regard he recalled that just a week ago has been awarded the rebuilding of the Source of Gold to a company that presented a reckless loss of more than 4%, and now a local company is rejected to undertake the remodeling of Avenida Juan Carlos I for a decrease of 0.43%.

With the economic crisis and the fall of public works to which these large companies habitually dedicated themselves (luxury airports without airplanes, speculative desalination plants, rescued and unresecured highways, freeways, metros etc.), now have their eyes on the works Which are made in the municipalities and have landed in Lorca to take nothing less than 90% of the public work to date has been made here.

With these data Sosa has concluded that it is clear that the Lorca PP and Murcia are the political parties of large foreign companies, and in no case neither represent nor defend small and medium entrepreneurs of Lorca and our Region.

And that implies that we have spent almost 50 million euros that have little return in our city, neither in terms of employment, nor in terms of taxes, nor economic and productive recovery.
