Political Council Meeting on IU-Greens Alhama de Murcia, on the afternoon of Monday 25 February to address the issues on the agenda of the regular plenary for this month, the organization of various activities and the announcement of the construction of a private school in our town.
We declare:
That education is a priority for IU-Greens and strongly defend the public school system at all levels of education, as a principle.
In the manifesto with which we attended Municipal Elections in the section on education committed ourselves to undertake a series of actions led by the construction of a new institute, the expansion of the College of Our Lady of the Rosary with a second line and the transfer of land for the construction of a new public school.
Last Thursday was summoned to the education community to a meeting, can call "indefinite" in the content thereof-in the plenary hall.
Call that was forwarded to the direction of the schools in the town, so that did extend to the rest of the educational community of Alhama, and we attended.
At the same, it was announced that only minutes before had made a press conference attended by the Mayor, Councillor for Education and the promoters of a new school from the private sector, specifically from a cooperative.
During the same from IU-Greens and express our malaise as Municipal Group not inform us, not even the content of the act, the board of spokesmen who had held a few hours before.
Just as our respect for any private entrepreneurship.
But we understood that it is the obligation of the administration to ensure the right to education, and it was not a failure of the public authorities do not meet the educational needs of Alhama and leaving them in private hands to cover them by a concert.
The statements of the promoters we have nothing to say, and who came to sell their project.
It felt grotesque is the use that was made for this City Council, with a very clear call to the educational community, the use of the plenary hall for the exhibition of the same.
The intervention of the Mayor and the Councillor for Education to the audience seemed nothing short of bizarre attempt to justify the lack of information transparency and explaining the benefits of private enterprise through educational concerts, as the total free.
From IU-Greens understand that, how you develop the presentation of this educational project is not only a reflection of the failure in managing the government team from the public to cover the educational needs of Alhama.
We understand that this project was born surrounded by too many shadows on how it has thrived and its implementation in due time.
When the Mayor says that the only knowledge we have is the model that all could see, but still there is no documentation to request or at City Hall, which will be difficult to keep up the infant stage in September.
Unless there is something else that has not been explained yet.
