The spokesman for the municipal group of the PSC in the City Council of Mataró (Maresme), Xesco Gomar, highly valued the agreements reached this week by Mayor David Bote in various areas with the Government of Spain, chaired by Pedro Sánchez, and demanded that the Generalitat end the grievance towards the capital of Maresme.
In the appearance after the Board of Spokespersons held at the City Hall, Gomar referred to the signing of the protocol with ADIF for the investment of 70 million euros for the transformation and expansion of the railway station in Mataró, the debate in the Congress of the Deputies to face the legal changes against the occupation of real estate and the signing of another protocol for the construction of affordable housing in the cities of the Metropolitan Arc,
“This is a great week for Mataró. We will see the results of Mayor Bote's management to find solutions to the needs of the residents of Mataró”, said the socialist councilor. For the spokesman, "while Mayor Bote achieves all these achievements for Mataró, the ERC municipal group presents a motion on self-determination and on October 1 that they no longer believe in themselves," he stressed.
Gomar believes that ERC and the government of Pere Aragonès, now immersed in a deep crisis with their Junts partners, "have abandoned Mataró". Thus, “we have had schools for years in barracks or poor facilities. We have intolerable waiting lists in healthcare. There is a lack of Mossos d'esquadra troops (while the local police increases vacancies). There is a non-existent housing policy. Some rivers that do not clean who should do it ”, he has exemplified.
Xesco Gomar has demanded that “the comparative grievance that Mataró has suffered for years be remedied once and for all: Mataró receives less than half the investment from the Generalitat per inhabitant than cities like Girona or less than a third than cities like Tarragona.
Likewise, he has asked all the political forces in the city “to join these demands and stop dividing and discrediting Mataró in order to obtain electoral gains. It is necessary that we all work together to find solutions to the needs of the residents of Mataró, as Mayor David Bote does every day”.
