On July 6, the Socialist Government announced the claim to the concessionaire of the water services company, Hidrogea, of € 138,739, which, according to municipal sources, was not paid in the 2013 liquidation and corresponds to the sanitation and accountants.
Likewise, it was reported that the initial liquidation, of July 18, 2014, had obviated the report of the municipal road engineer, which made clear the existing imbalance between water, sanitation and accounting rates and should have been taken into account from the start.
The following day, Mr. Marcelo Correa Pérez-Cortés submitted a letter to the Mayor's Office warning that the liquidation is insufficient and that it must be completed before July 18, the date on which this right could be prescribed, noting irregularities in the matter of accountants, maintenance, purchase of water and various extra costs.
In this context, the spokesman of the municipal group MC Cartagena, José López, announced that he will go tomorrow to review the record of the said Board to the Municipal Secretariat because "if the socialists claiming a hundred thousand euros aHidrogea is because they have cooked it and the amount is much more That is Caostejón's smart cartagenerism, that of the deal with the concessionaire. "
The mayor of MC explained that "the liquidation of 2014, for more than 10 million euros, was the result of the pressure of MC from the opposition, along with the work of Marcelo Correa. Last summer, we announced from the Government that they should complete this and other What happened next is already known, Hidrogea threw us out of the Government and the Socialists approved their numbers in violation of the Law and to the detriment of the people of Cartagena. "
López has influenced the status of the contract, stating that "neither those improvised settlements pacted with the PPni the complement that the PSO now announces to recover how much it owes us Hidrogea and that, based on municipal reports, we estimate about 40 million euros. we are convinced that we will recover with our work, although some will try to prescribe it ".
The Cartagena spokesman has assessed the possible prescription of the claim, stating that "those who know the laws know that the prescription of a crime is different from that of a tax assessment, in this case, we could be facing a possible continuing crime that would continue to be committed, so it would not be prescribed. "
López concluded by saying that "as we move forward in that criminal study and the claim of tens of millions of euros, we urge the mayor not to continue favoring Hidrogea and immediately attend to Mr. Correa's calculations, which have always been well founded. in reality and successful in the defaulter reiteration of the concessionaire If Wednesday has not claimed that amount, we will all have a new sample of the complicity of Caostejón and its councilors with the concessionaires ".
