The regional deputy Rosique Teresa described as "unacceptable and unfair that the president and his government Valcárcel require residents of San Javier to pay the luxury yachts pass by the bridge of 'El Estacio'.

Rosique recalled that the other boat does not require the opening of the bridge and that the responsibility for Marinas and Coastal are the regional government.

It has therefore filed a motion in the Regional Assembly to be the independent Executive authority to take over the maintenance and operation of the bridge.

The motion says that on June 27, 2001, the Ministry of Public Works and Planning and the Municipality of San Javier signed an agreement for "the construction of a bascule bridge over the Canal del Estacio sea in La Manga lower and the dismantling of existing. "

Convention

In the aforementioned Convention, is established as obligations of the City of San Javier to preserve and maintain in working order the new bridge, made at his expense, works and works that are necessary for that purpose.

The construction of this infrastructure was contracted by the City of San Javier and funded by the Autonomous Community of Murcia.

That convention, after being modified with two addenda, ended December 31, 2004.

Although the Convention came to an end in 2004, the City of San Javier has been doing over the maintenance and operation of this infrastructure, thus giving rise to a huge expense burden on the municipal finance, as the current cost of It amounts to the amount of 231,400 euros per year, according to economic assessment in July 2009.

The Ministry of Public Works and Planning is the one with autonomous powers conferred on marinas and costs, while the Municipality of San Javier has no jurisdiction over the Canal de El Estacio.

Therefore, the MP said that the opening and closing the bridge of El Estacio for maritime traffic flow is not a competition of the City of San Javier, but the Autonomous Community of Murcia; reasons neighbors San Javier should not continue to pay their taxes the operation and maintenance of the bridge.
