The municipal group reminds Torralba of its public commitment in Plenary to undertake the rain works in El Llano with a charge to the surplus of the concessionaire.

WE CAN criticize that the Government and the company dedicate more efforts in the advertising marketing that in guaranteeing the strict fulfillment of the contract.

"We tell the company that less to plant trees and more to comply with the contract and adjust to the actual costs of the service2E To the Government we remind you of your public commitment with the neighbors of El Llano, when Torralba promised to make the rainwater works pending with the surplus of HIDROGEA ".

This is how Pilar Marcos, spokesperson for Podemos at the City Council, summarized the position of his group regarding the surplus of the water concessionaire.

For the purple formation the difference between the Government and the company with respect to the meters and sewage is not more than a smokescreen, and a staging on the eve of the municipal elections: "The socialist government has not controlled at any time the concessionaire , and has removed the technicians who did it.

What they are debating now are some coins in relation to the astronomical difference in costs that at the time, and according to the calculation of the officials themselves, amounted to more than 5 million euros between what they charge us and the actual costs of the service. "

The spokesperson for PODEMOS has insisted on the permissive and complacent policy of the Government in relation to water, and has put numerous examples of this throughout the almost four years of the legislature: breaking the government pact;

reduction of rates in the middle of the POKEMON cause;

empty to the General Director of Infrastructures;

appointment of an ad hoc Technical Commission, judicialization of the lowering of the receipt due to serious administrative defects;

stoppage of the commission of investigation of the contract;

very few Service Monitoring Commissions;

deceptive and partial audits that they have taken for granted;

shelving the nullity of the extension of the contract and a very long etcetera that confirms that the PSOE de Castejón can not be the solution to the water problem but is part of the plot.

Since PODEMOS have returned to point out that the main problem of water service is in breach of the contract allowed by the Socialist Government and before the PP.

A breach that goes beyond Cartagena, which apparently was the modus operandi of the company and that is being investigated in many other municipalities in the country where the concessionaire would have carried out the same practices: Millionaire cost overruns, inappropriate subcontracting, irregularities in personnel, works and investments not executed, an irregular rate, illegal extensions of contract in exchange for gifts and perks, etc.

Pilar Marcos has once again requested the urgent call of the Water Monitoring Commission (since the Investigation Commission has killed her with the help of PP and C's): "We want the Government to explain what it plans to do with the surplus, if will comply with his word, if he will resolve in plenary session the recourse of replenishment of the year 2003 on the extension of the contract, and above all, if he has been investigating the endless series of breaches that our group has been reporting regularly in Plenary, based on the disinterested work and rigorous of civil society groups such as ASEPUCAR.

It is really shameful that the audit of the water contract comes from the opposition and from private citizens, and not from the Government of the City Council, which is the one who has the human and material resources, in addition to the obligation to do so ".
