The Secretary General of the PSOE of Alhama, Antonio García, has come today to the step of the declarations made by the councilors of the Popular Party Ana Fernández and Diego J. Águila, in which they accuse the Government of an alleged unequal treatment with the districts.
"We do not understand that between some districts there are more than 6,000 euros difference", expressed from the ranks of the PP.
García has indicated that the subsidies are the same for the five districts: "We give a fixed amount to each parish of 3,000 euros, destined to develop their patron saint festivities and 500 euros for the festive and cultural Christmas events, in addition to another 900 euros for cover the expenses of management, information and dissemination of each association In the case of El Berro there are two associations, that of Neighbors and the Women's Association El Abedul, so the amount is divided into 450 euros for each one ".
"What we do is to collaborate, but it is the neighbors themselves who are in charge of preparing these parties and looking for their financial resources." The city council has made an economic effort not to touch the agreements with the districts, because we believe it is very important that we turn to five, "explains Garcia.
"We must also remind the PP councilors that our districts have other needs, and that we are investing in them as ever, through the Connecting Pedasias program to promote knowledge of these spaces among students of schools in Alhama. We have also made an effort to bring free Wi-Fi to the squares of the five districts, and taxi is a reality on demand.In 2017 we have invested more than 60,000 euros to completely refurbish the school of La Costera, and this year we contemplate a departure 15,000 euros for the restoration of Casa El Charco in this same hamlet, there is also another 15,000 euros for the Neighborhood Association of Las Flotas to rehabilitate the old school in that place, and a great effort is being made to renew the potable water networks and sanitation in the districts or the investment in energy efficiency The commitment of this government team with the five
districts is reflected in the draft municipal budgets for 2018, and that's where the Popular Party should make their proposals, if they have them, instead of confusing the neighbors with statements that are false and malicious, that only seek to face to the different neighborhood associations, "says the councilman.
