Spokesman magenta training in the Consistory, Ruben Juan Serna explained that the current regulation "violates our rights as councilors, allowing use and abuse by the government team of alternative motions", since in 2013 the popular group It is prevented from voting for nearly 40% of the initiatives presented by the opposition, as happened for example in the session in July 2013, where the PP raised by 63% of the time an alternative motion

The spokesman for Progress and Democracy Union in the city of Murcia, Ruben Juan Serna, says his training challenges in the courts the Organic Regulations governing the Full Municipal Corporation through an administrative dispute, "because it infringes our rights as councilors, allowing use and abuse by the government team of alternative motions. "

UPyD Murcia complaint during plenary sessions, before any initiative is under consideration of the municipal body, the council of the popular group present at the same time the alternative debate loudly, which results in vote this proposal, not the original motion.

"It is very common that this resource is used as a mechanism to avoid having to vote on the original proposal," says Serna, "the political cost or image that can project negative for approval, so that the government team offers an alternative decaffeinated, in which what is not to approve is removed. "

This technique has been used by the PP up to 60 times during 2013, resulting in almost 40% of the initiatives presented by PSOE, IU-Green and Union Progreso y Democracia this year were not voted on.

Thus, "it is possible to vote in favor of the alternative, without having to vote against the original proposal."

Serna said that the current regulation was adopted in 1986, so it is "urgent" update.

"This constitutes fraud plenary sessions, reaching sometimes the case that the proposed alternative is unrelated to the original proposal, but also achieves the goal of not voting that raised by the opposition."

To UPyD Murcia, the political group that presents the original motion must be able to accept or not the alternative, because with the current situation may be the fact that the opposition go to a plenary with 10 motions and comes with 10 government proposals approved bypassing the requirements of the opposition, nor in time nor in form, as happened at the meeting in July 2013, where the PP raised by 63% of the time an alternative motion.

Finally, UPyD recalled that in September 2011 the three opposition groups raised a joint initiative calling for the reform of regulation to avoid this situation, which was rejected by most of the popular group, "so the last resort left is go to the Courts. "
