The president of the Neighborhood Association Columbine said that "we live in a permanent Eagles cacique situation," referring to the deep and growing unease that is breathed for years in the population by the attitude of Mayor Juan Ramírez Soto, charged with various crimes for Justice and tends to disregard any claim to citizenship and the constant criticism neighborhood causing management.
"We are suffering at Eagles doubly crisis: the economy arising from the lack of money and employment opportunities is compounded by the lack of democratic values that are enduring aquiline. From City obviates the neighborhood view and even curtailment of freedoms, and the only thing that seems valuable is the 'command and control' that boasts the mayor, "said Alberto F.
Giordano, president of the Neighborhood Association Columbine (AVA), who took the floor during the official presentation of the report in Murcia "The state of the Region 2010", published by the Citizens' Forum to be found in the balance Murcia regional government in the past 15 years, along with various aspects of the period 2006-2010, especially the global economic crisis and its regional impact, and also has as a background assessment of what has meant the autonomous period in recent 28.
In line with the allegations contained in that publication, AVA President stressed that the weakness of democracy in the region is particularly aggravated in the case of Eagles, "true example of patronage and partisan control of public opinion exerted from the municipal government. "
Thus, according to Giordano, "in Eagle, no reports or listen to citizens, municipal representatives are not held account of his neighbors and they usually require neither. Furthermore, a mixture of favors suffering and fears the consequence is a almost constant attack on civil rights, contravening democratic values and total rejection of any attempt to participatory democracy. If they say that the Region of Murcia is at the bottom of Spain in many areas, it is equally true that Eagles is at the bottom of Murcia, "said the president of AVA.
