The money, said Francisco Garcia, "is all Mazarron" |

Francisco Garcia, Mayor of Mazarrón, announced Tuesday that yesterday was forced to file a complaint against the Banco Santander "as this bank refuses to pay a debt of 4 million euros for the commune" .

As stated by Francisco Garcia "over a month ago the decision to execute a guarantee of 4 million euros that the bank had lent Aqualia, the company that manages the municipal water service it was made. The bank was required to have admitted that money before March 20, the first requirement of the City. "

The origin of this debt is in some additional royalties that the company Aqualia paying annually should go to City Hall and refused to pay.

The affair ended in litigation finally obtaining a judgment agrees with the City Council having to pay the company said 4 million euros.

"The refusal to pay the debt, as the company at the time of the award he deposited some guarantees, in this case of Banco Santander, which the City has done has been to claim those guarantees to the lender, which also has continued refusing to pay these guarantees. "

In his appearance before the media, the mayor continued saying that "Aqualia submitted a written justification that it was unnecessary to enter the 4 million as it would have appealed to provisionally suspend the execution order of City Hall. And with this, the Court once again it gives us reason and says there is no place for a stay of execution order ".

According to Francisco García "this new court decision is communicated to Banco Santander amicably to proceed to enter the 4 million euros and the bank returns to give long stating that the matter is being studied for its legal services. We all know that execution of a guarantee on first demand does not need studies, especially if it is supported by a court ruling, "said Francisco Garcia.

In this situation and with the idea of ​​defending municipal interests the mayor says, "I have no choice but to file a complaint and which I understand is money that belongs to the City Council and therefore to all the neighbors of Mazarrón."

Also, the Mayor has said that what happened could be a breach of contract by the company Aqualia.

"It's something we are studying the municipal legal services."

If so Francisco Garcia has announced that one of his first acts, if after May 24 still has the public responsibility of representing the citizens of Mazarrón, will be to rescue the municipal water service concession.

"A service that will be managed by a public joint stock company, in which the water service will be integrated, the waste collection and street cleaning," said the Mayor.
