The Popular Party of Cehegín has denounced that the government of Spain of Pedro Sánchez has not paid the subsidies to local entities for the damages caused by the 2016 storms. The amount allocated by this subsidy to the municipality of Cehegín is € 509,036.82 and , to date, not a single euro has been received from that aid.
The government team of the PSOE of Cehegín announced and sold to citizens that this aid would be the solution to the problems of covered sports spaces in the town after the collapse of the sports hall cover "Loli de Gea".
The reality is that the money promised by Diego Conesa, current secretary general of the PSOE of the Region of Murcia and former Government Delegate, has not reached Cehegín almost a year later.
This fact can have serious consequences that nobody wants and that can affect the development in the construction of the new sports hall of Cehegín.
This worrying situation has been revealed again with the visit of the Director General of Local Administration of the Region of Murcia, Francisco Abril, who has verified first-hand the state of the works, financed by this Directorate General through the Plan of Works and Services, which have been carried out at the "Loli de Gea" Sports Center.
During his visit he has been accompanied by the mayor of Cehegín, Alicia del Amor, and the Councilor for Works and Services, Pedro Lorencio.
"Today the works have not created any new space appropriate for sports practice and it is urgent to solve this matter, since this work is an enveloping face that includes the entrance to changing rooms, small offices and a warehouse on the first floor, both floors connected with an elevator whose adaptation works were not contemplated in the investment, so that the surface for sports practice has been increased by zero square meters today, "said the Mayor to the Director General.
Alicia del Amor has requested help from the Director General of Local Administration, Francisco Abril, to be able to finish the works of the Sports Center "Loli de Gea" in view of the situation in which it was left after the completion of the works.
This aid would be destined to the adaptation and creation of new sports spaces in the stores attached to the facilities, whose budget would be around 160,000 euros.
The intention of the Government team is to reconvert the spaces that were destined for the Warehouse of Works and Services to respond to the important demand for sports activities of the cehegineros.
April has commented that "from the Autonomous Community, collaboration formulas will be studied, together with the City Council, to finalize and make these facilities available to citizens as soon as possible".
