The Deputy Secretary and head of the Local Executive Committee on issues related to the Earthquakes, Antonio Navarro, stressed that "today, July 11, 2012, fourteen months of earthquakes that devastated Lorca. Fourteen months is certainly an eternity for those who have been waiting since the first time such aid that never came. Not so for the Autonomous Community, which has funded and continues to fund with money from this aid. The Socialist Party, since last October that we learned , it has been denouncing this situation through the media and even through the Ombudsman. "

"As of today, the day compliance fourteen months, enclosed documentation provided by the very CARM, in recognizing that fact, as we have reported over and over again, from the Home Office have been doing transfers accounts of the Ministry of Public Works and Planning of the Autonomous systematically from the past 24.08.2011, "Navarro clarified.

The socialist leader has detailed that "in this documentation to which I refer, in which revenues are broken down to be made from the state to the Accounts of the CARM until 17.05.12, we read verbatim: The state has already CARM transferred to EUR 12.1 million for the rehabilitation, reconstruction and rent. Of the aid, have been paid 4.8 million euros in such payments, 2.4 million have been paid by the State, and the rest of the CARM. Therefore, if we have received 12.1 million and paid 2.4 million euros, have to repay the difference, ie 9.7 million euros. "

"It follows that, indeed, as of 17.05.12, the CARM had delivered 12.1 million euros corresponding to 50% of the amount that should have come to Lorca, ie 24.2 million euros. It should be noted that so far we have been calling agitators, unsympathetic and irresponsible for exposing what is happening, are the same as now recognize between the lines, but fourteen months later, that should have been funded with this money. This this, our balance after fourteen months only done differs from the previous month when money is still coming, but now is the community who knows where he is, "he added.

A member of the Local Executive Committee of the PSOE has stated that "Mr. Lopez Miras, Regional Representative of the PP, has stated that the problem was due to the many existing paperwork but I think his own teammate and former Commissioner for Rebuilding Lorca, Mario Garces, who was better clarified the situation by coining the expression dammed to explain what happened to the money of aid, so brave, said it retained the CARM. "

Antonio Navarro finished remarking that "it seems outrageous that the Regional Government has been forced to recognize implicitly that their lack of diligence will be returned to the Treasury the amount withheld for the state to do to reach those affected."
