Crossbow to Puente: «There are two things that are not allowed for human beings and politicians, letting them threaten you and making a fool of yourself» | The truth

However, as a reflection, using writers, the mayor was forceful when he stated “as Borges said” that “there are two things that are not allowed for human beings and politicians, letting them threaten you and making a fool of yourself.” ».

As a threat, he recalled the announced withdrawal of funds for some works “done several months ago.” “Someone has made a mistake and when someone makes a mistake, the quickest thing is to apologize and get that mistake out as soon as possible,” Ballesta concluded.

The Murcian councilor, who made these statements after a visit to the Museum of Science and Water, called on Minister Puente to get to work with the City Council on “the many pending issues” that affect the municipality and the Region of Murcia and that depend on its Ministry. For example, reaching the necessary agreements to achieve “once and for all” the extension of the tram line to El Carmen, and converting “that protocol that seems to have been signed last term into an agreement and having that vitality.” “necessary legal”.

This protocol was signed with the then mayor of Murcia, the socialist José Antonio Serrano, and the Ministry's financial commitment was estimated at 32 million euros.

Furthermore, Ballesta recalled that there are many mayors of Murcia and Albacete, more than 20, who have signed for the railway line to be reopened with Madrid via Chinchilla, and who have requested an interview, still without a response. Just as they are still waiting for a response to the request from Murcia and Cartagena to improve and resolve rail communications between both municipalities.
