In the last two fiscal years, the local government has not invested what was committed to improvements to the cemetery, so, in the opinion of the Socialist Group "the guided tours that are intended to be done are a smokescreen with which to cover facilities that They need a good face wash "

The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Maite Espinosa, has denounced this Friday that, despite the budgeted items and the promises of Ballesta's executive, "the municipal cemetery Our Father Jesus continues to present important deficiencies that go through inadequate accesses, neglected parterres , sidewalks with tunnels and areas more typical of a rural cemetery than the main cemetery of the seventh city of Spain ".

Espinosa, who has visited the cemetery in recent days, recalled that a year ago the Socialist Group and demanded the Ballesta government to invest in the conditioning of abandoned areas of the cemetery, "areas without corridors, with broken slabs and open graves , which pose a danger to visitors and, moreover, do not match the idea that the PP government intends to sell to turn the cemetery into a tourist enclave with guided tours. "

In this regard, the mayor of the PSOE regretted that, "as always, the Ballesta government is more concerned about the photo and the owner than to solve the real problems that arise." We have a cemetery with new areas very well equipped, and other areas that are absolutely impassable.We imagine that Ballesta will take the photo to sell his guided tours in the corridors that are not plagued by raised slabs and caverns, but his obligation is to invest in fixing the cemetery, which belongs to all Murcia and in which, in recent years, what has been promised has not been reversed. "

Espinosa insisted that "the year 2015 was closed without investing the 400,000 euros budgeted.The same happened with the departure of 150,000 euros in investments contemplated in 2016 and, we are very afraid, after a new visit to the facilities, which will end 2017 in the same way".

Espinosa has lamented that for the government of the PP "to fix a little the accesses (with charge to the budgets of 2012, 2013 and 2014) seems enough to boast of municipal cemetery, while in the interior there are entire areas for which you can not walk Surely Councilor Coello has been three years behind in his budget. "

"Keeping the budget items in the drawer and then boast of surplus seems to have become the usual way of doing things for the PP, but we will not consent." The municipal cemetery has areas of first and third, a true reflection of the municipality , and the responsible councilman has been content to fix the environment a bit without investing in the interior ", insisted the councilor of the PSOE, who has criticized the rush of the PP to make guided tours and sell them to the press but not to clean up the cemetery .
