Reverte: "The Government team has limited itself to covering the file, avoiding its responsibility by presenting an amendment to the whole of our motion with a poor and scant argument, with the sole purpose of not voting against the ´popular´ motion, playing like this with the hotel business of Águilas " Águilas, October 28, 2020.
"The municipal government team of Mari Carmen Moreno has once again turned its back on the hospitality and tourism industry of the town, voting against the motions presented by the Popular Municipal Group or presenting amendments thereto with a poor and scant argument in order to avoid debating our motion, which was much more well-founded, "as explained by the spokesperson for the Popular Municipal Group, Eva Reverte. The PP presented a motion for urgent processing to be able to further expand the terraces and facilitate the situation for the hospitality sector of the town, since now the capacity in the interior is reduced to 30%, but "the Government Team has limited itself to cover the file, avoiding their responsibility by presenting an amendment to the whole with a poor and scant argument, with the sole purpose of trying to look good and not having to vote against the ´popular´ motion, thus playing with the hotel business of Águilas " , has underlined the leader of the PP.
"Contrary to what the López Miras government does, which has put 5 million euros on the table in direct aid for the hospitality industry, Mari Carmen Moreno is not willing to invest one euro in the sector, and last night this was clear "Reverte pointed out. "The PSOE has voted against the motion that was directed to urge the Government of the Nation to invest the budget for the Imserso program, since the program has been canceled, in new tourist incentives, at this time our elders cannot travel , but another type of tourism is possible that can be incentivized with this type of bonds ", with the purpose of" not sinking the sector further and offering support and stimulus measures to the reactivation of the demand for tourism and hospitality at the national level "Reverte has detailed. In the words of the councilor, "while the Municipal Popular Group has supported several motions raised in plenary by other political formations, because we consider that they are good for Águilas, the PSOE have dedicated themselves to denying us their vote to seek incentives that serve to help the hoteliers of the municipality already ruin the work that the other councilors do, "to which he recalled that" tourism and hospitality are hand in hand and many of the tourists who visit Águilas in addition to staying in hotel establishments enjoy of gastronomy, visits and excursions to the city, shopping in our shops and local companies and ultimately help the local economy ". The PP has also requested that security be increased in Calabardina, a request made by the neighbors themselves, to install video surveillance cameras in the three accesses to the district, which has been rejected by the socialist government team, Reverte has indicated that "in Calabardina many families reside in and out of the summer season but the neighbors have suffered waves of robberies", so "it generates a high degree of insecurity in the neighbors" and "they cannot live in fear that their belongings". Requests and questions "At the point of requests and questions we have presented the queries that our neighbors have sent us," the councilor specified.
Specifically, matters such as cleaning the boulevards, as well as the traffic lights of the town; cleaning and collecting dates from the palm trees of the Paseo de la Constitución; that the projections installed in the weekly market be lowered and that the provision of electric pistols to the Local Police be considered. In addition to questions about the General Urban Development Plan; the Review of Jobs in the staff area of ??the City of Águilas; the competitions for the work of the wall of the Hermanos Buitrago football field; the location of the skatepark outside the urban environment and the not yet opening of the bridge over the Rambla de las Culebras.
