The deputy spokesman of the Socialist Group in the Regional Assembly, Joaquin Lopez, and the spokesman of the Socialist Municipal Group in the City of La Union, Mariano Oliver, lament the lost Portman Bay time due to failure of the Popular Party reached agreement in 2006 for regeneration.
According to Lopez, the PP has "vilified and despised that agreement, which was reached by consensus, by the fact that he had won the previous Socialist government."
In his opinion, "since the PP came to power, time stopped in infrastructure and major projects that are truly regional interest."
"In the case of La Union, with the complicity of Valcárcel, first, Garre and then Mayor Bernabe existing regeneration project and the project jumped opted for a company that nobody knew who was unable to take and has proved, in the end, a hoax, "he underlined.
Mariano Oliver, explained that, this morning, in full council of La Union, the three groups (PP, PSOE and IU) have voted to amend the PGE 2015 with an initial budget of € 5 million to undertake the regeneration work in the Bay contemplated in the original project, following the arrest of the owner of the company Aria.
And it has shown that the same motion was voted down by the PP on 26 September, despite the alarms on the insolvency of Aria were already on.
"Hopefully, as the PP has already voted against this same amendment by the PSOE in Congress, the Senate is to enter it", he indicated.
Oliver says, moreover, that the current PP mayor should resign "for all these years has been doing company spokesman Aria, even if their providers in the area warned that did not pay the bills, instead of spokesman and defender of the interests of the residents of Portman and La Union. "
"And it must do precisely this day, in which he has gone back and had to admit it was a mistake to abandon the original plan and replace it with a private company, which was not the feedback. And it must do also because during this time he did not hesitate to point them out with your finger, the Socialists and the associations and local groups, calling doom. And because he has insulted even techniques UMU who have worked unselfishly laboratory plant Portman pilot monitoring the toxicity of non-sterile, "he added.
But what Oliver believes even worse, if anything, is that Barnabas Francisco has been playing all this time with the need to work with hundreds of families in the area (in La Union unemployment rate is the highest in the region ).
"There have been promising many hundreds of jobs, it has come to be ready in the city for the people to sign. This delusion is something that can hardly be overcome in the municipality."
