About some of these issues, the mayor had interesting answers.
Asked if he will attend the proclamation of Easter 2011 the President of the Autonomous Ramón Luis Valcárcel, said, "nor will I go, nor do I expect."
Abellán wondered "what Valcárcel pint here when he has not come before?"
adding that "I believe that this date marked the 600 anniversary as should have chosen someone who has done more than the president of the Autonomous Communities for Easter Jumilla, a personality, for example, the religious sphere."
Abellán also said it "will also be on the campaign trail, so I will not attend a meeting in a church."
Finally, he recalled that when he was the harbinger José Bono, the defense minister did not attend one of the Partido Popular.
Speaking of the status of accounts and surplus of previous years said that "not everything has been the result of charges for court decisions, as stated by the PP on occasion, but we tried not to shoot the expense, but obviously a lot is entered and the city has less overhead, such as monthly payroll officials over 500,000 euros. "
In this sense, even ventured that 2010 is going to close, possibly with deficits "but will be much lower than regional or national average, where Jumilla is the third city with better regional economic situation."
As for Plan E, the highest local authority was asked, despite the criticism it has received, "What would happen if Zapatero had not given us more than 6 million we received in the two years, and carry out various actions, we have created jobs and generated business for many companies. "
In this regard, also said, "With these funds we have created services but now, every competent authority has to keep."
On job creation also said that "people can not always expect to work for a company, but the future is to think that each can create your job."
When asked about his worst moment, the mayor did not hesitate to say it was "in the events of July 2005, also by the image of Jumilla offered in all media, with headlines like Interviú: Jumilla The people of fear. "
In this regard and asked if responsibilities are purged once said "I hope so, because I can not live or survive with this injustice and I will do everything in my power to ensure that justice is done" and added "a society has most dangerous when there are incendiary. "
To a question on valuation of the speakers said "have a good appreciation of all, I sincerely believe that the tension is gone and hold many meetings and now, I think there are people in the corporation of a large human honesty."
On the forthcoming elections said he was not indispensable in his party and that "one is not one single, it is, among many."
And on the possible Socialist candidate said "Jesus Sanchez seems to me the ideal candidate, because it looks a lot like me in many ways."
He was also asked if local government does something against the underground economy which said "I will not go against a person who makes shoes flip to feed their children."
Among other things, there was a question about whether he feels controlled by the opposition to what Abellán said "I have always tried to go ahead with what control does not scare me."
These were some of the issues, with the Mayor of Jumilla in the proposal of the citizens, 'I have a question for ...', although many others were.
