The Councillor for Culture of the City of Lorca, Sandra Martinez, has reported that the Consistory Lorca has offered the association "Music Workshop", which has been managing over the past years the band and the municipal school of music of Lorca, which during 2012 received as municipal contribution for these services some 187,852 euros, representing a reduction of only 20% compared to that received in 2011, and therefore should not apply the reduction that has been raised to other groups that had suffered cuts in municipal contributions in previous years.

The mayor of Culture has moved repeatedly to representatives of this group which "confident that the musicians who make it up to understand that this is a temporary measure by the economic situation of the municipal coffers, which we are forced to continue to provide basic services to citizens. This is the proposal that we have done in the context of negotiation, but is incompatible with most measures of pressure. "

Martinez explained that "we have made significant efforts to meet the demands of the members of this association in a time of difficult economic situation that has been the Consistory by reduced revenue and increased extraordinary expenses, which has produced both by the economic crisis and the problems and needs generated by earthquakes. "

The Councillor stressed that "this grant will be considerably higher than that received until 2008, and if in times of economic boom could perform these services with less revenue, we are convinced that in a crisis situation as present, any entity can keep these figures, especially if we consider that between 2007 and 2010 the City increased by 40% subsidy. "

Therefore, the mayor has returned to ensure the continuity of the classes of the Municipal School of Music and the services of the local band, emphasizing that "after the negotiation process we have done for several days, if members of the association Musical Workshop consider managing it are not interested in continuing them, look for other alternatives, but Lorca will not run these services.
