The Councillor for Education, Mariola Guevara, was appearing before the media Tuesday, with the mayor of Alhama, to explain the latest data on the construction of the new IES Valle de Leiva.
Guevara noted that "from the beginning the government team has given priority to know the status of the project Leiva Valley".
Something that moved the director general of Department, to the Minister of Education and President of the Autonomous Community.
Councillor unveiled that regional leaders had agreed to move the project, once they receive, to make contributions to both the Municipal Corporation as to the direction of current Valle de Leiva, "aware of the needs and wants of the center, to assess whether the project qualifies and correct all the deficiencies that school now. "
He indicated.
"The alhameño architect who made the project sent him to the Autonomous Community over a month ago and have tried to allow us to know, without success," emphasized Mariola Guevara.
He added that "we have sent numerous emails and made calls, but we refuse that authorization until the Community technicians have the visa and accepted 100%."
Once endorsed, the next step is the tender, which could no longer make contributions to this project.
The Minister explained a few days ago that the project will be done in two phases, something the government team considered "a deception to the people of Alhama" because "until now undertake to carry out the first phase, which only includes the compulsory secondary education, sports and the administration area, leaving forgotten high school. "
He added that "even in the project which was presented at the Plenary Hall for years talked about training courses, now not even mentioned."
They demanded the regional government to institute a joint construction is guaranteed.
As for the location, Guevara stated that "from the platform location Justa asked the new government team to retake the change of venue, indicating that it is not fair that the two institutes are in the same area of ​​the municipality".
In this sense, the House approved last September a motion, unanimously by all local groups, where it came to a consensus that the municipal technicians study the pros and cons of each area.
For its part, the Mayor indicated that "the municipal government made a commitment to take the initiative if there was unanimity or a very large majority in the change of location."
Also it revealed that there has been a debate that has even become possible to extend the current Valle de Leiva, "but that option is ruled out by the technicians."
Diego Conesa explained the three areas being considered.
"We have the option of New Espuña, where the project is contemplated, it is the position of Ceramics, raised by the Platform Location Justa, and the El PRAICO, FAPA proposed as an option."
"Having divided opinions, the local government has decided to hold a referendum, the first to be held in Alhama, so that all the neighbors who decide the location of the school," expressed Mayor.
"We understand that the decision taken at the end the people can not refute nobody, not even the competent body, which is the region".
According ahead Mayor, "consultation would be consensual, but would pose two questions: the first if considered appropriate current location in New Espuña, and second, whether the current zone is discarded, on what would be the most appropriate between the ceramics and PRAICO ".
Conesa has indicated that the details will be announced in the next two weeks.
"The money needed for the institute as well as the joint implementation of it are the two essential requirements must ensure the region. It is something negotiable," he warned the Mayor, and ended by stating that "we will be a loyal administration if we are in that sense, but we will face if they do not take into account these conditions.
