The councilman of Cambiemos Murcia Nacho Tornel has demanded today that the government team to open a procedure of public procurement "transparent" that ends with the awarding of the management of cafeteria services of the 76 social centers of the municipality.
Tornel explained at a press conference that "always" the PP has allowed the "irregular assignment" of these spaces since it is not the City Council who decides, after a public process, who will manage them, but the boards of each of they.
This, in the words of the mayor, leads to hiring "by finger", characterized by "an absolute lack of control" by the local government, which "looks the other way to promote the culture of patronage to which we are accustomed."
In this sense, he has made responsible the different Popular Party teams that have governed the City Council in the last 23 years for "having consciously maintained this irregular situation."
For municipal training, the Consistory must take part in this matter as it did at the beginning of the term with the management of the canteens of the municipal football fields, in a very similar situation.
In that case, the Councilor for Sports and Health, Felipe Coello, ended with the hiring to finger to ensure, as he said, the "transparency", and end with "situations of privilege" since many of these canteens - commented the popular councilman in his moment- generate important economic quantities ".
Tornel hopes that in this case "the same thing will happen" and that, in addition, the Government will "finally" comply with the motion approved by the municipal plenary session on the temporary cession of buildings, premises and municipal facilities to citizen associations and non-state entities. profit.
The next step "is not to end the cafeteria service but to submit it to legal procedures and rationalize its use," said the councilor, who has proposed a transition period between the current state and the new situation.
Light and water costs
The "irregular assignment" of the canteens of the centers of major is also marked by the fact that it is the City of Murcia who assumes the expenditure of water and electricity, as well as machinery and furniture, the same and the hairdressers according to has been able to know Change Murcia after question made to the Plenary.
Tornel recalled that this contravenes the agreement adopted by the Governing Board in February 2012 by which associations are encouraged to assume the costs of electricity and water, especially when they get an economic return from their activity, which in some cases exceeds that of any cafeteria.
"The expenditure of energy is triggered by this activity and it is not justified that the municipal budget must support it." The Department of Heritage should give an account of the annual amount of this expense, "Tornel added.
The "lack of control" in the management of the allocated spaces and the consumption of electricity and light "comes from far away and gives rise to situations of real risk both for the City Council and for the assignees, given the accumulation of irregularities detected". concluded.
