The Municipal People's Party spokesman, José Antonio Valverde Queen, welcomed that, "for the first time in the history of democracy, the Plenum of the municipal corporation , has unanimously recognized and has agreed to claim the National Government to pay the historical debt that the state has with the town of Totana, which totaled 25 million euros. "
Valverde Queen said: "This is a claim that the PP has maintained and defended in different forums and policy areas, and welcomes it has been amended following a discussion in one of the points on the October regular full when the other two opposition groups have understood his need. "
He added that "it is time to close ranks and defend the general interests of the residents of Totana to the National Government, as has been keeping the entire legislature People's Party."
Popular spokesman believes "it is a real injustice that the National Government headed Zapatero has decided not to pay the City of Totana 25 million historic debt that the state has with the municipality, as announced last summer the new Minister Manuel Chaves at its meeting at the Palacio de San Esteban with President of Murcia, Ramón Luis Valcárcel.
He also recalled that the PP has claimed "by active and passive" to "update the existing population in the Region of Murcia which would result in economic and financial treatment equal to Murcia over other regions."
Accordingly, he said, "In the case of Totana, the Consistory is supporting the provision of services that fall within its competence and offering a much higher population that recognizes the state government."
The mayor said: "The PP has always maintained the same level of demand for the historic debt with the city of Totana and deplores the loss of time from other political groups, and announced that in this line his party will continue to call for resolution the problem of local financing. "
