Serna (UPyD) aims to ensure that "water management is one hundred percent public" (16/05/2015)

Ruben Juan Serna, candidate of Union Progress and Democracy for mayor of the city of Murcia, defends the decentralization of water service and that is managed from the Consistory "since it is a public good".

He explains that "we will study ways to start a process that ensures water management hundred percent public, beginning with the gradual politicization of the board of the municipal company Aguas de Murcia".

In addition, "we dotaremos more resources to social fund to help disadvantaged families" and "assistive oenegés that use water in their grooming tasks or consumption shall be exempt from water."

Currently, the water supply in Murcia is held by a joint venture formed by the Consistory by 51 percent and Murcia Aquagest multinational Agbar Group, by 49 percent.

For Serna, the public part "has virtually abandoned the management company, and has agreed that, despite a profit, has continued to increase the price of water for the neighbors."

"In a time of crisis like the present, is in no way justified as a good that is a public need to be a service and not a business," said the candidate for mayor of Murcia.

Serna understands that "it is necessary to re-take an entirely municipal management and although it will not be easy to find ways to reverse privatization, it is necessary to seek formulas that enable the management of this asset back into public hands".

UPyD remember Serna resigned to join the board on the grounds that these are bodies that should not be politicized and the decisions made are, in many cases, a technical reason why the presence and influence of politicians, as It happened with the savings banks, "it is harmful to the decisions made."
