The Popular Party denies the alleged "hole" of 1.5 million euros from the Social Fund intended to pay the water bill and sewerage services to the neediest people of the municipality of Cartagena.

"Lopez has returned to invent a new hole where there is none. During the stage of popular government, cartageneros not paid a single euro more for the creation of the Social Fund but was charged to surplus water service in the years 2013 and 2014 ".

As approved in the settlements of the years 2013 and 2014, the government allocated part of the surplus of services concessionaire water to this Fund and permitted by law.

What has happened in the liquidation of 2015 to the allocation of Social Fund know it. "

The Social Fund was established in 2013, in one of the most difficult times of economic crisis to respond to the needs of the most disadvantaged people in Cartagena.

The Fund had a forecast of three years and was carried out through an agreement between the municipality and the concessionaire of water, as explained in the Commission corresponding such monitoring as reflected in the minutes dated March 30, 2013 in calling on all its members, including the Lopez himself was reported.

The spokesman insisted that the Social Fund never more expensive water bill of citizens, "Cartagena have not paid a single penny more on their water bill, but in turn, allowed to carry out a solidarity measure as demanded both by the Municipal Social Services and by the Federation of Neighborhood Associations. "

Lowering the water

On the other hand, Francisco Espejo spokesman recalled that "when the Popular Party left the government in June 2015, had agreed with the concessionaire Hidrogea a drop of water to cartageneros than 7 percent."

However, 17 months later, Lopez announced that it will lower the water by 6%.

Months and months where cartageneros have had to pay the bill because the more expensive water disputes with the concessionaire Lopez have delayed an agreement that the Popular Party had already agreed ".

"In these disputes is the fact that the Government has not yet approved López settlements and water prices the years 2015 and 2016. The mood of Lopez is very expensive to Cartagena."
