Held regular full night of January.
One of the points raised most interest was a motion by the PSOE on rejection of the appointment of the President of the Autonomous Community Crier Ramón Luis Valcárcel as Easter 2011.
This proposal was approved with the mayor's casting vote, as the spokesman for IU-LV José Antonio Pérez, noting that "this debate is useless" decided to leave his seat and therefore not participate in the discussion, nor voted .
The motion was put forward by Mayor Francisco Abellán explaining the reasons that led his group to present this initiative.
Thus, began claiming that "Easter is the people and should serve to unite and not to separate, so you can not choose a town crier to separate and do not represent all Jumillano, since few are left, other right-wing, some believers, some agnostics, some practitioners and others. "
Abellán also has emphasized that the main reason to disagree with this appointment is that "we are in an election year and Valcárcel is a candidate for president of the Autonomous Region for a political party, which is not the right person to proclaim the Holy Week, it would have been the last year or next. "
The mayor also said that "all this controversy could have been avoided if he had chosen a religious representative and no one would question."
Francisco Abellán stated that "in addition to the attitude of the president of all the Murcia has left much to be desired in respect to Jumillano," did not come to the Jubilee Year, has been in many other important official functions, and what is worst is not come to address the problems of Jumilla.
The maximum local authority also stated that "the fact that I will not nor should it be so important as a state religion I am free to go or not, in any case if I is not nothing personal with the president, but an institutional matter, as I think, as mayor, which has crushed Valcárcel, insulted and humiliated Jumillano. "
Abellán insisted that "error of whom is appointed, which is the Central Board also admits that he did to get money from the Autonomous Region for the 600 anniversary."
Finally, the mayor said the JCHSS is a private entity but receives a large amount of money the City Council and therefore all Jumillano, "in the last ten years has received almost one million euros, so that at least should have a minimum of respect for the council and to the people, but if you want to dispense with the council can do, you can give the help that we give them and that this money goes to the poorest. "
The next speaker was PP spokesman Enrique Jimenez began by noting that "we are not surprised by the attitude of the council of IU-LV, which is the number 11 and that its abandonment will encourage to leave the approval of this motion."
As for the motion, Jones said "Valcárcel needs no defense, since it is a great semanasantero and has always shown their affection for the Holy Week Jumilla and proof of this was the award of the Gold Medal."
Popular spokesman described as "nonsense many of the statements made by the mayor, most of which are also lying."
Jimenez told the mayor that "you do not represent Easter, who represents the Central Board of the Brotherhood, so we will express our greatest respect, so do not stand up Valcárcel, but the decision of the board."
Jimenez said that "what you do is press, insult and disrespect to the Central Board of Fraternities."
Finally, the popular spokesman confirmed that "Valcárcel will come to give the opening speech and I'm sure it will not be a rally."
