The second deputy spokesman of the PSOE in Lorca, Isidro Abellán has announced that this morning, ask the Mayor and council of finance the creation of a special account in which the loan is paid 12.774.510,07.- € "the day is formalized, and to ensure that the loan is used, warns" exclusively "for the payment of bank debt of the City Council".

This request comes before the PSOE suspicions about whether the recent borrowing of the City of Lorca in a new loan of 12 million euros will be ultimately to pay for the work of the auditorium and the 4th section of the Central round, although these works they were to be financed through European funding.

Dudas, warns Abellán, "fueled by the lack of response to the many complaints and requests for information unanswered by the PP in the town hall."

Abellán has stressed that almost a month ago, the PSOE publicly denounced this situation that "both the works council for the execution, as the council of finance for funding, have a lot to explain about these works and remain clarify anything. "

In addition, the PSOE recorded another request for information to clarify the Mayor first "whether there is extension of the deadline initially set by the ERDF plan to justify the state of completion of construction of the Auditorium and Congress and section 4 of the Central round ", and secondly to clarify" how and with what money the council plans to deal with the ICO loan of 12 million euros in advance for the Autonomous Community for the execution of the works included in the FEDER plan ".

"Request that remains unanswered, so increases our concern about whether finally be Lorca who have to pay these works".

Abellán recalled that the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) made it a condition to finance the construction of the auditorium and the 4th section of the Central round, Lorca and thus did not have to pay anything, they were due to expire at 31 December last year.

Works that far from meeting those deadlines are still not finished, "missing a great deal to completion, although the Ms. Lali Ibarra says working from 8 am to 9 pm."

Given the secrecy and obscurantism of the PP in the city of Lorca, Abellán announced that in an act of responsibility of the PSOE, the Socialist Lorca will contact the Socialist Group in the European Parliamentary order to obtain, through their MEPs, the information necessary about the situation in which we find this ERDF funding for works in Lorca.

The socialist mayor assures that it is a warning about the possible economic situation the government team of PP may result in the accounts of the council, if finally these works are paid from the loan that the government team aims to make this year 2016 to clean up the Remnant Treasury Negative, ie the deficit of this council.

Abellán recalled that this is a loan 12.774.510,07.- € "built happily" by the PP government team to the 2016 municipal budget, regardless adds "this operation requires the debt authorization of the organ of financial supervision, as recently reported by the Ministry of Finance and Public Administrations because the indebtedness of our town more than 75% of their current income. "

In this sense, the socialist mayor condemns the irresponsibility of the PP "to not look to the worst, especially when it comes the money is managed is that of all citizens," stressing that "if the loan does not authorize, automatically should be reduced council spending almost 13 million euros. "

"The PP would get to the town of Lorca in a suspension of payments," says Abellán.

Isidro Abellán blames the irresponsibility of the PP to "walk more concerned with infighting that provide this type of situation that could compromise the economic stability of the City", so they recommend to the government team "to be clarified agree between them, starting with help satisfy some of its members with ever more power then can not afford. "

Finally, Abellán has warned that if Lorca who were eventually have to pay out of pocket 12 million euros of the cost of these works, "the PSOE did not hesitate a second to order the cessation of powers and the resignation of councilor who appropriate, either Mrs. or Mr. Gil Ibarra, or both at once, including the resignation of the mayor of irresponsibility and incompetence.
