The Councillor for Culture, Verdú Jesus does not understand the current debate in the Socialist Group on the use of the Theatre "Secure Shell" by the association, that "we have always spoken clearly with the associations of the conditions that exist, offering different alternatives development of its activities, and it is these associations that choose to conduct their business in the theater or any other space that is available to them. "
Considered to be a debate "does not favor anyone, and I suppose the associations do not make much grace that we are engaged in this," he stated.
Within this debate, Verdú Holy Savior can understand that question how to manage this issue, "because otherwise they would not have differences between the government and the opposition, which can not be understood are the ways. In the absence of arguments solids, the Socialist councilor turns again to the staff disqualification, using adjectives to Councilman and Mayor such as mean, cockney, cynical, hypocritical, or miserable. "
In this sense, the Councillor of Culture considers that although it is said that "anything goes in politics, we believe not, and these statements are the politicians who contributed to discredit the work we do for the citizens. Because this is not politics "
Regarding the specific issue of the rate of the theater, Verdú believes that Jesus "is as questionable as the collection of fees for using the sports, collate a document, attending University courses or use popular children's schools."
He explained that the rate of the theater, was approved by the full March 1, 2010, and assessed the cost of theater activity, resulting in an amount of 1,800 euros.
It has established a general criterion for all associations, with a 50% reduction in charity events.
He clarified that "if an association has not paid, is that the council has decided to co-host reference activity with the association in question, assuming the remaining 50% of the fee. Not mention it to any Department did not have the freedom to support any timely performance of the associations of his competition. "
This does not mean to Verdú, that "the others were marginalized. With each is a establishing a partnership under its program of activities. Mr. Santa only draws on the charity events in the theater, there are more activities of associations. "
The councilman pointed out that all that "discovered" Mr. Santa is in minutes of the Board of Governors, to which a councilor has access.
"It has not discovered anything as if it were an inspector."
He explained that "when expressed as a charge, available free theater to private companies, perhaps refers to a medium that organizes an annual event awards. Collaboration with these awards are to recognize the effort and work done by associations of Yecla, and the government team understands that they must have the institutional support, to give greater prominence to the distinction. "
Verdú also notes that accuses us of being "more concerned with raising that to help and facilitate. Are many cases which show that the prevailing philosophy of facilitating and helping to ensure that activities are conducted in the best possible way, without any intention tax collection . I ask, for example to his fellow Socialist Group as part of Yecla Land of Lynxes, or the National Competition of Children's Theatre of Judas, if it happened this way "
Finally he recalled that "help associations is not only reduced to 900 euros the rate of utilization of the theater. 'Associations have agreements and grants, also have not been trimmed, meeting facilities and management, and with the support and interest of the government team. We challenge Mr. St. to demonstrate that the government team is not to assist or facilitate any available means to develop their activity to a particular association "
