Maria Gimenez, regional deputy, said in the Committee on Regional Policy, given the situation "critical" of this municipality and the "huge slab" that support the municipal coffers, the autonomous community "must invest in municipal water network" .

Gimenez has said that the debt of the City of Totana "will take years to pay and the result of the management of the Popular Party over the years that has governed the municipality."

The big hurt by the PP government, said the deputy of Podemos, "is the supply network and water sanitation, abandoned for decades. Therefore, we believe that due to the large water losses and the inability of the Consistory of coping its proper maintenance is necessary for the autonomous community to invest, via budgets, before going to nothing desirable service privatization "scenario.

On the other hand, Maria Gimenez has stressed that the solution to the debt of Totana, "can not go through the privatization of water. Water is a captive market on which large multinational companies are always ready to sink his teeth, not to improve water supply and sanitation services in defense of the general interest, but to do business. "

In this regard, as stressed by the regional parliament of Podemos, "money water should go to the water, not rinse the debts of the municipalities, which is what usually happens when the service is privatized, mortgaging supply more 20 years time with consequent increases in rates, water shortages and lack of transparency in management. "

Finally, Maria Gimenez has stressed that the management of urban water supply should be based on a public, transparent and participatory model "in the line are following major European cities".

"Therefore, we reject the privatization of municipal water services be more burdensome for the citizen model, environmentally unsustainable, poorly transparent, inclusive and that eventually causes a complete loss of control by public administrations" he adds.
