Councilman Let's change Murcia Nacho Tornel they said today that the statements of Minister of Development, Francisco Barnabas, which claimed that the municipality and its districts could be without public transport for approval of an amendment of the opposition, are "an excuse rough "with which attempts to justify the cuts applied in service since 2012.

Tornel recalled Barnabas that the contract with the concessionary transport companies was upgraded four years ago through the Optimization Plan, bringing the matter, while it is a commitment of the Autonomous Region with the concessionaires of the service, not It has nothing to do with the amendment to which the Minister referred.

"It is inconceivable that the regional government does not provide as fixed expense compromised with concessions to public transport, leaving him at the mercy of the negotiation of regional budgets", has held the council, after denouncing that "never should have allowed a drop in services already they hired. "

For us change Murcia, the attitude of Barnabas answered "a maneuver to delay" for not performing a timetable for recovery of public transport as the argument of the restructuring of lines that the regional government itself promoted in 2012 was based on the situation of recession economic and therefore is available as a temporary measure.

The council recalled that precisely led to the formation municipalist plenary a motion last month to return to the previous situation, the PP rejected the same arguments that the director has used.

The position maintained by the PP "is the result of its refusal to execute the Law 10/2009 Creation of the Integrated Public Transport System in the Region of Murcia, that same party approved", and has suffered two extensions, the last finished on December 2, 2015, he explained.

"The municipality of Murcia seems doomed to suffer a bad management of public transport; suffice it to say that where there was a dealership there are now three, and one of them, LATBUS, uncoordinated of the other two, and that the City has approved a Plan Sustainable Urban mobility as the linchpin to take the tram, a mode of transport expensive will not solve the problems of mobility. "

In any case, Tornel considers that the municipal and regional authorities "have an obligation to guarantee the right to mobility of citizens".
