MORENTE
The two major traditional political parties on the national scene are determined to regenerate themselves, to improve their image, to put order in their accounts and in their people, something that was and still is very necessary. Serve society, instead of using it. From top to bottom, from bottom to top, from the big to the small or the opposite, but leaving unequivocally clear the intention to change what is necessary, everything that has been done badly or very badly. To achieve this, we need exemplary citizens in their actions. The sayings are over. The lies bore.
The distant, at regional or national level, continuously remembered by the media, affects us or will affect all, directly or indirectly; with the next we live daily. The most immediate to each citizen, to each family, is their municipality and when this does not work the «issues» above continue to exist, continue to worry, but in the second place. What you find when leaving home is the first thing you tend to value. And if it is not good, you should try to improve it, turn it around, stand firm and do not pass by problems and conflicts that will not be solved in any case. Those who hide end up suffering the consequences.
A large party like the Popular, with a long history in the service of the Spanish nation, which has put to sea in 2018 with a revamped vessel, chosen crew and a captain who aims excellent knowledge to navigate in turbulent waters, the first thing that must make the inspection of the hull of the ship, identifying the waterways (large or small) that can ballast it and even sink it little by little. Once they have been identified, they will be caulked so that they are well capped. Well, in the section of the ship called Los Alcázares there is a track under the waterline: PASEO RÍO NALÓN. No doubt there will be many more in other «sections» but this is the closest.
In a municipal area that occupies twenty square kilometers the only thing that occurred to the Municipal People’s Group, when it began its management (2011), was to undress a saint to dress another, destroy a space equipped and landscaped in urban public domain, to create a street gastronomic business park. He deprived neighbors and citizens of something that legitimately corresponds to everyone, by urbanism, civic and social function, and put it in the hands of uncontrolled commercial ambition. In perpetuity. He sought accommodation to an environmentally unwanted activity in the least appropriate place: between residential buildings. And gave him the street.
The repair of this waterway in the ship of the Popular Party does not admit delay. Until they rectify, until the Paseo Río Nalón regains its initial image and function, we will have to keep reminding it, throwing it in the face, insisting. Continually.
■ ASK FORGIVENESS FOR YOUR CONCIUDANS
It is imperative that those who have done so badly and purposefully, with unequivocal intention to harm many to favor the few economically, publicly ask forgiveness for abusing their municipal authority with arrogance, cynicism and arrogance, with indifference and disregard for the rights of residents who suffer the immediate presence of bars, cafeterias, restaurants, … Annoying activities in themselves, pollutants, which clearly have a negative impact on the environmental quality of a residential area. The first step that the Ppopular Municipal Group has to give is to ask for forgiveness.
■ RESTITUTE THE EXPOLIATED PUBLIC EQUIPMENT
The «historical» photos of the Paseo Río Nalón highlight the changes that have been suffering (worse) throughout its few years of its history, in which some bad municipal managers have worked artfully to achieve a perverse end, whose Consequences now suffer those who once took the bait and bought homes (mostly as a second residence) in an unreliable municipality and nothing advisable, while the inhabitants of law continue to vote who uses such tricks to achieve their purposes, although try masking them with crumbs of investment / management: fix half a dozen streets, clean the most visible, place four devices here and five there for children or adults, etc. Everything but the important thing in the most needy place: build tree-beds, plant palm trees, put benches, place planters and wastebaskets, …
Anyone who reflects in view of the photos that make up the attached report, which shows the evolution of a unique and privileged public space, will understand the extent of the plunder carried out by the Popular Municipal Group and the need to restore it. After asking for forgiveness this is the next step to take.
■ RETURN TO THE WALK YOUR TRUE FUNCTION
When all the municipalities of Spain compete in something as plausible as providing more green areas, open and healthy spaces to offer their citizens, to create urban forests and all that what contributes to improve the quality of life, in Los Alcázares the objective is to bet for the shabby and the chabacano, for the uncontrolled and permanent stacking of structures that delimit private redoubts in the middle of the street, where people crowd to eat and drink, glued, smelling food next door, … And when the season ends, from October to Easter, everything is in sight, and much of the walk that was used as a dining room, becomes storage furniture in the open . Wanting and not being able Contrary to what was promised in his electoral program by the GMP, his disdain for the trees (including palm trees) is evident throughout the municipality. Tiled slabs (especially in urbanizations), wooded without replacing, lack of pruning, no phytosanitary treatments, … shameful. That is why it is so difficult for them to take the third step: to return to the NALON its true function, which is not, much less that which was promoted in June 2010 through an advertorial in the regional press, when the GMP was in opposition and that » Apparently «they were as much opposed as the neighbors, neither were they interviewed to express their opinion (HEMEROTECA). In order that some people responsible for the people of our region (here the first) become aware of the value of trees (palm trees are), the Regional Government would propose initiatives similar to the Andalusian (HEMEROTECA) highlighted by the dean of the press malagueña: The Sun of Antequera, 22.09.2018 (fragment). «First meeting of the Forum of the Urban Tree in the Rectorate of the University of Seville […] has as its objective to give the citizen an independent, serene and constructive vision about the value of the urban tree. This is intended to introduce a new perspective, already applied in other parts of the world, which has changed the current model of city and improved the quality of life […] In this first meeting it was agreed to provide criteria that serve as guidance and support for citizens, managers and politicians »
■ COMMENTS ON PHOTOGRAPHIC REPORTING
I would like to see the photos one by one, in full screen. They form a brief graphic chronicle of the looting perpetrated in a space that belongs to all citizens, with special repercussions on the immediate neighbors. Between 2007 and 2018 many steps have been taken with the foot changed. There has not been any replanting of the cut palms. Of the paved cisterns, not a single one has been reconstructed. Of the large planters that were placed in the center of the walk, when the benches that were on the sides (2007) were placed in the center, never heard again. Few banks were (only twelve) but they disappeared. Two lateral gardens were also removed and the «liberated» soil was paved; a photo shows the one in front of the Tourist Office. And so, year after year, abuse over abuse, has reached the current situation: authentic ignominy for the population. The political regeneration will be verified in Los Alcázares when in this urban space the infringed legality is restored. Let those above take good note.
