In Alhama de Murcia there is no opposition.
Except for IU-Greens, of course.
What the Government team has in front of its bench is the closest thing that has given the local politics to a group of tertulianos of the telebasura.
Month after month, the brave neighbors who can follow a few hours more than five hours attend a shameful spectacle in which some of their political representatives, who have turned demagogic into their ideological principle, reach the maximum institutional body with the themes without Prepare, lie, defame and make all kinds of personal attacks on the mayor and councilors with delegation, without any shame.
And all this paid with the money of the alhameños.
This Tuesday there was a double plenary session.
The first of these, the ordinary plenary of June, approved mainly, and not without controversy, Structural Modification n ° 9 of the PGMO of Alhama de Murcia, called "Modification of zoning in SGL 02 Parque la Cubana".
Or what is the same, the creation of a large green park in the center of Alhama, demanding the extension of the residence of the elderly and leaving a space for uses yet to be defined.
Something, this last one, that from the PP and C's interpret like a tricks of the Government for the construction of the spa.
"The alhameños have not asked for a spa," they said from the Popular Party, and called for a six-million-euro mound for the performing arts to be built instead.
Because, as everyone knows, it has been the PP who has won the election and most of the neighbors have given their support to do such a thing.
Seeing is believing.
They say that the Popular had in their electoral program, like the rest of groups, the construction of a spa.
We do not know, since it is impossible to find such a document.
If someone has it, please send it to info@psoealhama.es
Since everything is questionable, from the right they question any achievements of the Government team.
The phrase "they fill their mouths ...", repeated in each plenary by the Citizens' spokesman, has already infected the Popular Party.
We do not know very well what they mean by that, but these two groups have adopted a strategy in which the rival always goes awry: if something is not aired to the four winds, then they are hiding the information to the neighbors;
And if the maximum information is given, the goal is to manipulate.
An example is the so prostituted transparency, nonexistent until this legislature.
Because it is worth remembering that before the information was only available to a privileged few, those who commanded.
The others, bread and circus.
It is what the PP likes, command, impose and abhor the population.
Not to believe in the critical capacity of the neighbors is a contempt for them and the very essence of democracy.
The Popular think that power belongs to them by divine will, and that any other formula in which they do not send them is an anomaly that they must solve.
Hence all his efforts in these two years have focused on trying to destroy the image of the Mayor and the Government team as a whole.
Without offering a single alternative for the neighbors as opposition, beyond what they carried in that ghost program that no one has seen.
If your star project was the big stage of performing arts in the center (that same center they say now that you do not have to play) worth six million euros, how can you ensure that Alhama there is no money for a spa in Theory costs only half?
The neighbors already decided in 2015, having all the information through bulletins many months before the elections, so that nobody could accuse us of hiding, deceiving or manipulating.
Quite the opposite.
The same line that has been followed in the neighborhood consultation to choose the location of the new IES Valle de Leiva or the pilot Participatory Budgets.
Never before had these processes been put into practice, and so much information and participation had not been given.
The PP continues to think that its neighbors are silly and manipulative.
We understand it with the policies it has carried out over the past 20 years.
And what about Citizens, a new party, with an important regional and national projection, which has been nourished in Alhama of "old glories" discarded by the PP of the whole life and that have appeared during this last 12 years Up to four different acronyms.
That's how their hair looks or bald.
The spokespersons of this group speak again and again of a supposed lack of transparency.
It seems that they have difficulty digesting the progress made by our city council in this matter, going from not existing to be the most transparent municipality in the Region of Murcia and the fourth of Spain.
That it is precisely them who criticize this, is very obscene.
First, because in their stage of government they never gave the information to the alhameños as it is now, and secondly because these councilmen agreed with the PP to twist the majority will of the neighbors and burst the investiture of Diego Conesa as mayor.
Where was the transparency there?
We continue to demand citizens to give explanations two years later.
The second date of the evening was the Debate of the State of the Municipality, scheduled for last year but had to be suspended due to administrative problems, and was surrounded by controversy from the first minute because of serious accusations by the PP and C'S ( Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdd8vmAjolM&t=400s).
Beginning with the spokesperson of the Municipal Socialist Group, Mariola Guevara, the councilors of the Government team, one by one, intervened, closing the Mayor.
The presentations were based on the accountability of the electoral program and all the projects implemented by the legislature.
The great commitments were fulfilled just after starting the new political course: reducing the cost of municipal government in more than 160,000 euros to be allocated to education, a minority government with nine councilors of which only five more the Mayor are paid, give the Word to neighbors in the plenary session without any further requirement than raising their hands and doing so with due respect and meeting with neighbors and companies that had lawsuits with the City Council.
In these two years social progress, equality and change for Alhama are more than evident.
Taxes have been reduced, such as garbage by 30% to the elderly and people with limited resources, or the receipt of the Contribution by more than 50% to the rustic lands near the town, in addition to freezing the rest of Contribution During the entire legislature, after the PP and CCD raised it more than 1.5 million euros in 2011.
Public education, free and of quality has been one of the main bets of the Government of the PSOE, allocating not only the cost savings of councilors with respect to the previous stage, but a very important part of the municipal budget, seeking a greater equality Equality of opportunity.
For this, it is fundamental to build the new IES Valle de Leiva, where all necessary efforts are being made, both economic and political, demanding that the Autonomous Community be able to fulfill its responsibility once and for all.
Alhama is not the same municipality in 2017 as in 2015. The commitment to reduce taxes such as garbage and light and water costs has allowed a significant saving of more than 10% and that are going to invest three million Of euros in the potable water network, abandoned to its fate for 20 years.
Like the roads to our districts, where we have started the commitment to the Community for the settlement of the RM-515 and we will be vigilant for it to be fulfilled from this same summer.
Our municipality continues to support culture, tourism and festivals, seeking to make Alhama a place of reference in the region and outside of it, joining tradition and modernity.
It emphasizes the commitment by the Mayos, always listening to all the involved groups and realizing important innovations with more ingenuity than budget for the enjoyment of neighbors and visitors.
In addition, the Cine Velasco Theater has been remodeled to provide a space in conditions and soon the same will be done in the House of Culture.
From the council of Patrimonio is still struggling to get the 1.5% cultural that allows to finalize the works of our Castle, without neglecting the rest of goods.
Youth and sport are another fundamental pillar.
The commitment already made to fix the gymnasium of Guadalentín will add the change of parquet in the Pavilion Adolfo Suárez and the floor of the athletics track, the latter once it reaches 50% agreed with the regional administration.
School sports have been promoted as an alternative to the federated, so that any child can practice through their school.
Youth Plan of Alhama has also been developed for the training, employment, emancipation and leisure of youth, where the Youth Employment service is aimed at orienting this sector in the search for work and entrepreneurship.
It seeks the dynamization of commerce and local hospitality, proof of this is the cover of the Plaza de Abastos, financed by the City Council, the holding of fairs or the creation of the event Alhama on the Street, among others.
Equality between men and women is a non-negotiable principle for this Government.
The services provided from the Nursery Business are basic in that area.
Other initiatives such as the Aula de Encuentro, the Violeta Prize or the activities of the 8th of March have continued to strengthen and improve.
Like the elderly, in search of their dignity as a fundamental pillar for our society and families.
It should not be forgotten, and in the Plenary, the progress made in social services, from charity to dignity through an unprecedented change in its regulations to support social integration and to families with minors, was highlighted. Informative and formative itineraries with the aim of finding a job.
Even establishing important tax incentives for companies that bet on the most disadvantaged groups.
The relationship with the public employee has been based on the dignification of their work through loyalty, motivation and productivity.
It has not always been achieved, although the Government has made a strong commitment to recognize old rights, as the specific complement to the body of the Local Police, as well as providing this group with tools for better service delivery.
Alhama was the first municipality in the Region to pay the officials extra pay arrears since 2012.
As for the attention to the neighbors has recently been launched the application MejorAlhama, a pioneering tool to solve more quickly and efficiently the small problems of day to day and are the most important to the alhameños: a lamp cast, A tile in poor condition, a deteriorated playground ... Through the newly created Department of Urban Quality are pampering public spaces for Alhama continue to stand out for its aesthetics, quality of life and functionality.
The Government has put the new technologies to the service of the neighbors, installing Wi-Fi points in all the districts, as well as new computers.
Also inaugurated this year the new website of the City Council, which in just two months of life managed to raise our town to the top national positions in design and transparency.
The development model of Alhama has gone from being the deception of the Paramount project to the real bet by our Industrial Park, the "jewel of the crown", as described by the Mayor.
All this based on four indispensable principles: legal security, administrative agility, equality of treatment and transparency.
The work that was done in the 80's by the visionary politicians of then to buy a million square meters for only two million pesetas in Las Salinas now allows us to have some of the spaces for the most attractive companies in the Region.
The Popular of then described that purchase as nonsense.
The program Conectando Pedanías is one of the most beautiful projects of the legislature, in which the children of Alhama have been able to visit the five districts and vice versa, through days of coexistence and knowledge of the environment.
To this is added another initiative such as the Prizes for the Culture of Effort, putting in value the work of many young people of Alhama who, with or without the best records, are recognized their sacrifice in the classroom.
Because you have to trust them, and this government has done so with the university students of Murcia and Cartagena in the development of projects for the future spa.
Thanks to the commitment to the municipality and to the coherence of IU-Greens, the Government has been able to carry out important initiatives and Alhama is transformed, it improves its services, it becomes a more cultured, plural and enterprising place, that bets for the integration and the Quality of life of its neighbors.
This was evident in the accountability of the Government team.
For its part, the alternative on the part of the destructive opposition that we have to suffer, neither is nor is expected.
