Ortiz: "I am leaving, against my will, I am neither imputed nor investigated, but I am leaving only and exclusively so as not to jeopardize the city project that we have promoted".

Roque Ortiz presented this afternoon his resignation as councilor of the City of Murcia and has sent a letter to the Mayor communicating his decision.

In the letter addressed to the Mayor says that "I leave the City of Murcia with a clear conscience, head high and the assurance of having fulfilled my mission."

"I leave, I recognize that I made a mistake, an unfortunate verbal error - as I have publicly acknowledged - that during these days has made me reflect on whether politics is worthwhile, when it shows its worst face, personal and family harassment, hypocrisy and falsehood ... especially when you do not need politics to live, "continues Ortiz, who states that in the 951 as a councilman" I have seen the worst and the best in politics. "

In his letter of resignation, Roque Ortiz confesses that "I am leaving but I can assure you that I have put all my capacity in the entrusted with the purpose of carrying out the shared illusion of a better Murcia, and that I have done it always respecting the current legislation .

If there had been the slightest irregularity, it would not be necessary for anyone to have asked for my resignation. "

"I am leaving, against my will, I am neither imputed nor investigated or in any judicial instance of any kind, administrative or criminal - not like others - but I leave only and exclusively, so as not to put at risk the city project that we have driven and I do not want to be the cause of the management of your team can be tarnished unfairly.

Worth more, a noble silent action than a vulgar applauded, "he says in his letter of resignation.

Continue writing saying that "four days are more than enough to throw all our work to the ground," adding that "I am one of those who still value honor and justice.

And I am not willing to have my honor questioned when I have not committed any irregularity, who knows me knows that it is incompatible with my understanding of public service. "

Ortiz concludes his writing by recalling that "I am not a professional politician, I can not play this game of trenches, of artificial impostures in what has become what the new policy calls.

I have not sought to prove my value by comparing myself with others.

I enjoy being who I am, not being better than others. "
