Opinion María Mut (PP): «The state of Dénia is not good»

17 June 2022 - 10: 39

Between so much fanfare, so much announcement and so much operetta, you have managed to make many citizens look elsewhere these years, but now they are seeing reality, and the reality is that since you govern with your absolute majority, you have imposed and command the only way to deal with municipal management. And it's a disaster.

This is the government of mismanagement, of bungling, of the lack of empathy with the citizens, of the total lack of scruples. You believe that his word is law, that he makes law. But the only thing they do is lead us to the most absolute chaos.

Today, a resident of Dénia, a resident of Dénia, lives much worse than she lived 7 years ago, and that is exclusively attributable to you. Yes, to you. To the absolute majority of the PSOE from Denia. Fortunately, they have reconsidered the subject of the General Structural Plan and we will go to a new public exhibition. Seven years after they decided to redo all the work carried out with the real participation of all political groups, economic and social agents, they have not yet been able to carry out a General Structural Plan, which is the prelude to the General Plan for Urban Planning. And that despite having hired external technicians for this.

Oh, but yes. They carry it out on the basis of commissions and extraordinary plenary sessions (those that you like so much), quickly and now, without any prior explanation to the citizens and political groups, taking away all the importance that this issue should have.

Urban management is bad. Slow. Maddening. It is causing us to lose investments and God grant that, thanks to this public exposure, it does not also cost us displeasure in the form of urban rulings. But, on the other hand, suddenly a project comes out in the press, that of the residence in the old Portland factory, of which we had no news. Although it has a favorable DIC. And if for the processing of a DIC the signature of the municipality is required, we wonder why we have found out about it in the press. It's not that we don't agree with the project. It is that we do not know and we do not know why they have preferred not to inform the municipal opposition. Well, actually, it's your custom since the opposition finds out what you decide through some other media outlet.

They are going to do works now. La Glorieta and Calle Marques de Campo, that no one had asked for them elsewhere. And given its history with the bus station -without toilets now- and with the Valgamediós square, which is going to cost us extra money due to its mismanagement in the execution of the works (which also happened in the section of the parking lot of San Juan), we are all trembling to think about what the new fudge will be.
Will they have the urban center built in the middle of the season, as they already did with La Mar street despite the complaints of the merchants who even came to this plenary session to ask them not to do it then? Or worse yet, can it be tendered normally? Because we have already seen with other contracts that they have had to increase the amounts of the tender so that they would not be deserted. It is very bad management.

Poor management of works, time and money. We are in a context of runaway inflation, for which you are certainly not to blame. Or if? Because it hasn't mattered to them to raise rates and taxes on citizens, despite the fact that we have asked them on several occasions not to do so. But the Dianenses already pay more for garbage, for the Mercat rate, they have raised the monthly payment for the Santa Lucía Residence… We are doing well. And that excuse that it is the fault of the PP because you have been ruling for 7 years now. That excuse is already too hackneyed and obsolete. And all this when you got tired of saying that there was going to be no change in anything, and now you go and decide this.

In short, it gives the feeling that they neither feel nor suffer, that they are above good and evil, and believe us, the citizens, we are tired of their false image of progressivism, and not only us, the residents of Dénia have penetrated them, and well , and just by asking they will be able to verify it. So blame the inflation that affects us all worldwide, they do not have. But of doing nothing to try to alleviate it, too. That is your legacy: at a time when we have not yet recovered from what the economic slowdown of the pandemic entailed, in which, because you did not want to, you did not want to reduce the occupancy rate of public thoroughfares, you are raising rates and taxes for what? Why does it cost all Dianenses much more to make ends meet?

It is also increasingly difficult for us to circulate around the city. And that can also be blamed on you. Without having any viable mobility plan, they decided unilaterally and again by the infallible way of imposing and commanding, remove, that is, cancel, 600 parking spaces in the center of Dénia. So, rough. No options. With dissuasive car parks that effectively fulfill their function: they dissuade people from coming to Dénia. And this, for a city that does not manage to deseasonalise Tourism, is a tragedy. I don't know if they don't realize it or if they have sold their own motorcycle in such a way that they prefer not to realize it.

It is no longer that the residents of the surrounding municipalities do not come, it is that the same citizens of Dénia who live in the scattered, prefer to go to other towns to carry out the pending procedures and, of course, leave their money in other municipalities, which resents our merchants, professionals and entrepreneurs. Very dissuasive car parks, yes. Completely dissuasive. We warned them it wasn't a good idea, and it still isn't. But they don't care.

We can be told, given all this, what have you done to improve things? Since you have the absolute majority, and therefore you have the absolute responsibility for what is happening, we have done the only thing we could do: try to help you, although they have systematically refused.

We have voted against everything that meant a tax increase for the citizens of Denia because we firmly believe that this is not the time to do so, especially when you say that you have almost 20 million saved. Do you really think it's necessary? We have reached out to you on multiple occasions to help you save on utility costs and lower municipal fees, and you have always refused our help.

We have reached out to them on several occasions to accompany them where necessary, for example, to Madrid, to the Ministry of Public Works to put pressure on whatever it takes for the long-awaited and mistreated train to come to Denia, and what have they done? ANY.

All are good intentions but they do not take any step forward on this issue. And we continue the same, without train, without trenet, without tram…. Nothing at all. Is it so hard to ask for an appointment and mobilize political groups and civic and business entities that are so eager for this means of locomotion? The Spanish government is on their toes, they should have an easy time making an appointment to find out the status of this issue.

This consistory unanimously approved a motion in which we supported the fair demands of the residents affected by the new Coastal regulations. All the groups voted in favour, but for what? Were you already aware that the same motion was going to be knocked down in the Corts and it was going to become a dead letter? The affected neighbors trusted all of us and you have left them, once again, abandoned.

But don't worry, those neighbors know that the Popular Party is by their side and will support them in everything they need, as we are doing at all municipal and state levels.

We need agility in administrative procedures, facilitating bureaucratic procedures for our neighbors, faster appointments, solving problems effectively. Stop fattening up the workforce and make management a leitmotiv so that the neighbors don't get tangled up in endless administrative twists and turns.

Do you know what your neighbors want? Have you sat down to talk with them? have you heard them? Ah yes yes. They have neighborhood meetings going to which fewer and fewer people go, because they reiterate their requests and you take notes, but they do NOT solve anything at all. They are calling "tennis" what is really "pediment".

Our neighbors want you to do something when the staff of the Xara Occupational Center, once again, has not been paid for months. As they have also been unpaid for months (since March to be exact), the teachers of the Theater School (ETC). Our neighbors want clean and lighted streets, and to be without potholes. They want sports courts in conditions where they can play sports without fear of getting hurt. want beaches in conditions since Easter, with posidonia, but practicable, respecting the environment, but accessible, our season of enjoying the beaches should not start on June 15; from the popular party we propose a rational use of our best tourist asset, so that users who want to can enjoy our magnificent beaches from Easter, since our climate allows it and we must work to balance tourist and economic interests while safeguarding ecology and the sustainability of our marine and coastal environment.

What don't our neighbors want? More words. More documents with 200 points drawn up in an office by people who in their bloody life have had to ask for one of those policies that don't let you sleep at night. Instead, they want security, transparency, effectiveness, direct knowledge of problems on a daily basis, and consistent solutions.

The electoral programs must advance in progress and transversality, they must not be policies designed in a boardroom, they must be designed with the real participation of the neighbor of the Montgó, of the restaurant in the Rotates, of the merchant of the center, of the resident of Las Marinas. Because they are the ones who will later suffer or enjoy what is done in this City Council. But you prefer to continue being the formation of "I pretend to listen, but then I impose and command". We do not.

The Popular Party prioritizes people above all else, and we hope that this plenary once again establishes the fixed picture of the reality that we are going through at the local level, and we honestly think that it is not what we Dianenses deserve.

    It is clear that this does not work, not even when they are one or the other.
    What is important is not the parties that govern, what is truly important is improving the lives of citizens and that does not concern anyone.
