| Pedro José Sánchez - Win Totana | "I am not a friend of the confrontation, nor of feeding the political discussions that, in my opinion, are empty.
However, I think it is convenient and reasonable to express myself as a result of the messages emitted from the Socialist Party regarding the POS.
I hope that no one will Offense to express my opinion, at least at the level at which it seems they try to offend me every day.Once again, I cannot understand or share the attitude of the PSOE towards the government team, when once again we have shown signs of dialogue, transparency, and a willingness to listen to different ideas that were missed in past legislatures, where neither you didn't even really have government partners for key issues like POSBy definition, the Works and Services Plans are autonomous grants (financed by the taxes of the citizens of the region, including totaneros) that should be aimed at improving municipal infrastructure.
For this same reason, it is almost an obligation in our municipality that they dedicate themselves mostly to improving the water supply and sanitation network, as indicated by the CCAA in their reports, which leave us in evidence compared to the rest of the region.
Decades of neglect and no investment in the service in the "golden years" of the Popular Party in the session, largely explain these figures.In politics, there are two ways to manage public resources.
The first is to allocate them to what we really need to repair, because life goes for it (In the case of Totana, the water network).
The second is to dedicate them to more aesthetic than functional projects, which are not linked to urgent and real needs but do more than fulfill their electoral purpose.
The second way has been the general trend throughout our country (hence the airports without planes, AVE, etc.), copied on a humble scale in our municipality by politicians who are now trying to give more lessons than explanations about their management.This government, even though the situation of the Covid-19 has hindered the preparation of works and the time was approaching, repeatedly showed the past weeks of willingness to dialogue on the projects to be included in the POS Thus, a list of spokesmen was presented to the Board of spokespersons of valuations related to investment in the water network, where ready-made projects from the service appeared that could be included in these POS, in addition to other existing projects in the infrastructure department that could fit to complete the POS Almost unanimously, He decided to dedicate the remaining budget to the works of the water service, to asphalting of roads and highways.After these meetings, we consider it convenient (as we always will) to establish a pre-agreement with the PSOE, a former government partner and, for short, closer to the IU-Ganar Totana project.
In it, we are proposed to include in the POS:Arrangement of the water network in the second section of Cañada Zamora - € 200,000Asphalting of the N-340 towards Alhama - € 50,000Energy efficiency study in municipal officesOn the part of the government team, it is explained that in Cañada Zamora there is no project, but an estimated budget, and that for deadlines it could not be written in full, in addition to include it, it would be necessary to eliminate a project such as the arrangement in Romualdo López, where have detected more serious problems and inconvenienceAs for the N-340 and the study of energy efficiency, the criteria are agreed and it is considered appropriate to include them in the complementary POS (As the last project of the N-340 was included) to fit it in the generic way.
to the existing asphalting project on the Camino Juan Teresa, a road that is in a critical condition and through which many residents of Raiguero and Paretón transit every day putting their vehicles in danger, and that following the criteria of necessity that the CCAA dictates to us , should have temporary priority.But as I say, his proposed projects were going to be included in POS 2020-21, and so we sent it to him.On the study of energy efficiency in municipal offices (which is not exclusively for Manolo Ibáñez), the municipal technicians themselves announce that this type of project does not fit in with the POS, which were written for Campoder, which the previous councilor knows perfectly well that the project cannot fit in the POS, and it was not going to be accepted in the CARM.
Even so, out of loyalty to what was agreed, and knowing ourselves that the project does not adapt to the criteria of the POS, the directive is given to include it in the complementary ones, without much hope but with a very high head of complying with the agreement .At this point, the PSOE issues a note calling the government "unfair" for "not including their projects."Let's review the considerations1.Cañada Zamora could not be included because, contrary to what is preached, there was no defined project but a budget.
A budget is not the same as a project.
An estimated cost estimate for some works can be prepared in a few hours, while the elaboration of the project requires a few weeks.
Even so, we announced that if they considered it, absolute priority would be given to prepare this project for the next POSA project requires on-site measurements of the execution of the works, elaboration of plans and detailed sections of the work to be carried out, an on-the-spot check of the physical and architectural barriers both on the surface and in the subsoil, an elaboration of a safety and health plan appropriate to the type of work to be carried out to guarantee the safety of the workers during the execution.
As anyone can understand, the existence of a budget does not mean that the project exists, and it cannot be elaborated in a short period of time, contrary to what is interestingly preached2.
N-340 and Energy Efficiency YES were sent to the contracting department to be included in POS 2020-21, although the latter did not meet any of the criteria that a POS needs.As much as electorally it is interesting to build a story against the current government, labeling it as “Not very transparent, not very dialogue and tax”, I affirm with my head held high that there will be no examples in recent history of a government with greater capacity and willingness to build from the dialogue, which some of them regret, for contradicting the story they are trying to build against us.Totana deserves a higher policy, which is not built by the rage of the results of May 26, but rather by a commitment to search for the common good and general well-being, from seriousness, responsibility and a vocation for service.
In these spaces we can meet, and we can come together for the common good.
