The Councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Enrique Ayuso, has criticized hard on Wednesday that the government of Ballesta has decided to cut in lighting in neighborhoods and districts "we imagine that to be able to finance the giant tree of the square Circular and all the necessary lights to illuminate it" .

Ayuso has directed an internal communication to the local government to know in detail what has been the exact cost of the tree and in which streets of the municipality has suppressed the Christmas lighting.

"We have knowledge, on the part of our leaders in the municipal councils, that there are streets and avenues that last year had illumination and this year they have been left without it.An example is the Paseo de Corvera (El Carmen), streets in Santa Maria de Gracia, Plaza de Castilla, streets in El Infante, etc. ", explained the mayor of the PSOE.

"If Ballesta boasts transparency, I should put all the cards on the table and tell the members of the municipal boards and the neighbors why they have less Christmas lights in their neighborhoods and pedanias," said Ayuso, who added that "With a minimum amount of time, the municipal boards are taking charge of financing and placing the Christmas lights of some of its streets.A few, such as Paseo de Corvera, have been left without lighting being a main street from which, in addition, The Three Kings Day parade comes out. "

"This is a further example of Ballesta's ad, photo and autobombo policy. The mayor is a true 'showman', able to spend on a tree lit act for his own promotion, microphone in hand. The need for Ballesta to be the center of attention and to have their own show, are the neighbors and neighbors of the neighborhoods and districts, who also want Christmas to reach its streets, "explained the Socialist councilor.

Ayuso has also stressed that "Christmas lighting attracts consumption and helps promote shopping in small shops. It is not to be welcomed that the Ballesta government focuses on a specific point in the center of Murcia, forgetting that trade Neighborhoods and districts need that 'Christmas spirit' to be competitive in this festive season. "

"We are waiting for the answer from Councilman Guillén to know what has been spent by the City of Murcia in lighting and in the tree of Plaza Circular and how many neighborhoods have been affected by the Christmas cuts of Ballesta," he concluded.
