No 4 The court of first instance of Cartagena has condemned the concessionaire of water to a partial refund (specifically 101.70 euros) the amount of sewage rush that was wrongly charged in the works projected by the city junction Cartagena and funded by the Plan E.
Team PP government of Cartagena announced with great fanfare in the fall of 2010 that the residents of Isla Plana and La Azohía should not rush to pay sewer, and that the works are being carried out with funding from Plan E watched this budget item.
Soon, where did I say, I say diego and passed the gratuity at the rate of 667.70 euros hitch.
Team PP government justified its change of position based on a legal opinion that forced users to pay that rate and prevented the City Council to exempt payment.
The reality is that we have been unable to date to meet this legal report, since only got communication via decree of 19 October 2010 as a response to a request made on 14 October 2010, by which we were denied the possibility to access the document.
SPCT (member of the Plural Left United Left next to Cartagena) recalled that on 29 November 2010, we filed a motion in the municipal council warning of possible irregularities in which the City may incur persist in collecting the neighbors of the amount of connections, however our initiative was rejected by both the PP and the PSOE.
SPCT also warned that the PP government team may be committing an irregularity not only to the central government, which funded the entire cost of the work, but also with neighbors who were entitled to free rate and subsequently I collect them.
The judgment of 10 April 2014 also makes it clear that the change of position of the City (funded free E Plan, to be charged to the neighbors) is a political and not a technical decision and the judgment says that "the amendment the terms of the financing of the project implementation of yore, going from public to private, is a policy decision by the City Council Area Delegate Decentralization and Health of the City of Cartagena "as the report that justifies not in the record, and what we have found is based only on a report from the concessionaire company, what seems to us unheard all lights.
In this situation, requires SPCT Team PP government to officially urge the concessionaire to return the extra overcharged all neighbors affected and to launch a negotiating table to avoid massive lawsuits with additional costs for municipal coffers, since it is intended to claim the neighboring City Hall for the rest of the investment.
SPCT also states that many families could not make the junction for not having enough money to meet the cost of the investment, which requires the City Council to take appropriate action for this situation to be corrected as soon as possible.
