| José López "Now we have to ensure that the works are good for Cartagena and not profitable for the company, which is what it announces La Trinca.

Remember that in the Courts there are many millions at stake and MC is not going to withdraw from that fight "| Tomorrow, after two years without taking place, a meeting of the Monitoring Committee for the municipal water contract will be held.

During the session, the local government and the service's concessionaire, Hidrogea, will inform opposition groups of the amount resulting from the settlement of the contract surplus from 2015 to May 2018, which amounts to just over 5.5 million.

of euros. It should be remembered that the surplus began to be settled in 2012 after the demand of MC through José López, then advised by D.

Marcelo Correa Pérez Cortés, so that the amounts that the concessionaire overcharged on receipts and did not return by the inaction of the PP government.

The same Executive that we later met made pleasure trips satisfied by the concessionaire, which earned him the charge of Agustín Guillén, María Ángeles Palacios, José Cabezos and José Vicente Albaladejo. Since 2012 and to date some 15 million euros have been recovered.

Tomorrow the opposition will be informed of the fate of the last 5.5 million rescued. An amount that could be much higher In this context, MC spokesman and architect of the recovery of this money, José López, has valued the above with a "bittersweet" feeling.

"We are pleased to inject another 6 million euros into the municipal economy, although it hurts us to know that it could be many more, but La Trinca is on the side of the concessionaire," he reasoned. "In any case, many millions remain at stake and MC is not going to withdraw from that fight," the mayor of Cartagena has confirmed in relation to the open judicial procedures in which improper collections by the concessionaire in the rate are contested. The mayor of Cartagena has valued the works to be undertaken.

In this way, he stated that "with the 15 million euros that MC has taken from the company, the network is gradually improving.

Now it is the turn of depressed areas of the Historic District, the Greenway of Barrio Peral, Los Dolores and deputations such as Alumbres, El Albujón or El Beal, giving continuity to our plan for harmonizing services throughout the municipal territory.

" However, López added that "we are missing works approved by the Plenary at the proposal of the MC, such as the arrival of running water to Campillo de Adentro; the sewerage in Los Madriles (La Azohía-Isla Plana), Los Barberos, the site of Los Estrases (La Aljorra), Los Migaznares (La Palma) and Los Beatos, as well as the channeling of the ditches of the Camino del Siphon.

As for the rainfall of El Llano del Beal, the amount budgeted seems insufficient, since according to the valued memory of the mercantile itself in 2017 was four times higher.

" In this regard, the MC spokesman has indicated that "they will tell us that money is missing, but it is not true.

It is not because the pumping of Plaza de España, the most expensive work, should be paid by Esamur, which each year raises 8 million euros of Cartagena and leaves us, when it wants, only € 700,000 / year in works, it is time for this reinvestment to be extended to 3 million euros per year as we claimed years ago.

" Tender for work and interests López has also announced that MC will inspect the contracting of these works since, as he has stated, "now we have to ensure that the works are good for Cartagena and not profitable for the company, which is what 'La Trinca' announces," explaining that "Hidrogea returns money to us up to 5 years later without interest being claimed and, on top of that, they let him award the works, thereby escaping public control and among general expenses, industrial benefit and VAT, the company gets another million of euros. For this reason, he concluded by stating that "we have a lot of work ahead so that what we have struggled to achieve is not carried away with winks and good words, even more so in a time of recession in which every euro of public money spent we must optimize it and control it more vigorously, if possible.
