Eduardo Azcona will replace the manager of the service until now, Antonio Igualada, promoter a decade ago of the offer that won the tender. “The changes of government bring changes of faces”, values the already ex-resposable
After more than a decade at the head of the concessionaire of the municipal garbage collection, waste treatment and street cleaning contract, Antonio Igualada leaves the management in Murcia of the borrowing entity of this contract. This was reported on Thursday by sources from Prezero Spain, current concessionaire of the service after the sale of Cespa by Ferrovial to the German Schwarz Group, also owner of the Lidl supermarket chain. The same sources reported the appointment of his replacement, Eduardo Azcona, who will serve as the new contract delegate.
To date, Azcona has held the position of delegate for street cleaning and waste collection in Levante, Aragón and the Balearic Islands in the Regional Directorate III of PreZero Spain. He joined Ferrovial Services Spain (later PreZero Spain) in 2011 where he has held different positions of responsibility as a manager and manager in the Environment area. Eduardo is a Senior Industrial Engineer from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche and has a Management Management Program from IE Business School and a Management Development Program from IESE Business School.
Despite the change in these functions, Igualada will continue to be linked to the company, since it will assume the management of urban, treatment and industrial service contracts in the province of Murcia, or what is the same, the preparation of possible proposals to try to win more awards within the sector among the rest of the municipalities of the Region. In fact, Igualada came to Ferrovial more than a decade ago with the aim of preparing the offer that would finally be made with the Murcia City Council’s macro-garbage contract.
Igualada acknowledges that the arrival of this new stage could be foreseeable, although it has been completed sooner than expected. “When there are changes in the government teams -as has happened in Murcia- there are also changes of faces in other areas, even by express request,” he tells LA VERDAD, defending that he has always worked “for the City Council of the capital and for the people of Murcia and not for any specific government team». “I have carried out my work with different councilors and in this last year we have even improved the numbers,” he added, with what remains in the air is the idea that the decision may point to issues of affinity, trust or the search for greater control by the new politicians.
However, municipal sources circumscribe this relief to “an internal decision of the company that the City Council respects.” Remember this decision to the one taken just a year ago with the change in the management of Aguas de Murcia. In this case, however, it was not a concession company, but a public company with private participation, so the change did depend in this case directly on a political decision. It was then decided to replace the economist Rafael Gómez, who had also been at the head of Emuasa for a decade, with the current general director, the engineer Inmaculada Serrano, with the intention that the new manager would have a more “technical” profile. ».
