The High Court of Justice of Murcia has rejected the appeal by Jose Lopez wanted to annul the order of the Community approving water prices 2012, arguing it was illegal collection of fees and instead had to charge fees .
The statement is dated June 30, but Lopez has hidden this information to citizens and political groups, even though this issue has been used to create a commission of local research, according to Francisco Espejo, spokesman for the Municipal People .
"The mayor has forgotten to tell the cartageneros that courts have given another slam Lopez thinks the cartageneros have no right to know that rates are not illegal, as he said,. But the truth is that justice again scupper his accusations and shows that the alleged illegalities he saw so clearly are not at all clear to the three judges of the court, "said Espejo.
The spokesman pointed out that the now mayor "focused much of his opposition and his campaign in the complaint and also has put us all in a commission of inquiry that has paralyzed the falling water. Now cartageneros pay more expensive water because Mr. Lopez is a year of stagnation ".
The judgment 533 of the Chamber of Administrative Litigation No. 1 High Court of Justice of Murcia has dismissed the complaint that Lopez presented at the time "as a citizen and councilor" and which appeared as a defendant the Ministry of Universities and Enterprise, Hidrogea company and the city of Cartagena itself.
In its order, the judges referred to Supreme Court case law that supports the implementation of the tariff system as a price for public services managed by joint ventures or judgment of the Supreme privadas.Citando 2015, the judges point out that the tariff formula is inspired "by the desirability of incorporating the regime of private price and the industrial benefit to public services managed by third parties under indirect management in order to attract the investment of these to the field of public works and public services".
For the Supreme, the modification of the General Law of Taxation made through the Law of Sustainable Economy in 2011 clears doubts about the regime to be applied to services with private or public-private management, recalls the Supreme Court ruling.
