They will request explanations about the large salaries of various workers of the company

This morning, the spokesman of the MC Cartagena municipal group, José López, has denounced the new episode of socialist decontrol in the water service concession.

"The Socialists continue to leave the dead body without demanding from Hidrogea the complete withdrawal of lead and asbestos pipes."

This is how the Cartagena leader began his intervention, recalling that "in August 2018 we denounced that drinking water reaches us through kilometers of lead and asbestos connections, even though it must have been removed. it does not seem urgent enough for Castejón and Torralba. "

He continued adding that "after we have paid for this concept more than 8 million euros in 10 years to comply with a Royal Decree of 2003, the mayor does not want to bother the concessionaire, forgetting that it is her obligation to ensure the health of the Cartagena ".

Later, López added that "we will also try to find out what the Government has used for the 200,000 euros appropriated in the 2018 budget for the water quality studies that Torralba seems to have diverted".

Question about the salaries of the water concessionaire

In the same way, MC Cartagena will also question about the fees received by various workers of the concessionaire company of the municipal water service.

Specifically, the training Cartagena ask for the number of employees who charge more than sixty thousand euros, as well as the salary received by the director of the contract by the City.

In line with this motivation, MC will ask the local government to explain if it considers reasonable that, with a charge to an essential benefit and a public service, those salaries are paid and if the perceived by said workers is a market price.

López concluded by noting that "the rate charged for water since May 2018 is illegal, because Castejón violated the Constitution to approve it and because it includes millionaire items such as the salary increases that the company grants to its directors to get our pockets bleed. and that obviously we should not pay, if they do not voluntarily back down and return the money, they will be forced by a Judge.
