The Government of Pedro Sánchez has confirmed in writing, after the question of the Popular Party of the Region of Murcia in the Congress of Deputies, that "the construction of the new National Police Station in Alcantarilla is not contemplated in the short term", a despite having already available and budgeted the start of the works.
"The low interest that the Socialist Government had in fulfilling this objective acquired in 2016 was already reflected at the end of 2019 when the director general of the National Police canceled the appointment with the mayor of Alcantarilla a day before to try to unblock this issue, he has recalled the deputy, who said that "it is regrettable that after the effort of the session in this project, in addition to the budget allocation of the Government of Rajoy in 2018 of 100,000 euros and the commitment acquired for multi-year investments to reach 2 million euros, Come now the Ministry of Interior to confirm what was an open secret;
between their plans they do not contemplate its construction ".

In this regard, he recalled that "last October the Delegate of the Government of the PSOE in Murcia omitted to talk about the Alcantarilla Police Station and instead spoke of the new Police Station in Molina de Segura.
In addition, the Director General of the Police annulled, the day before, the meeting I requested for months and scheduled for last October 9.
And now the Government of Pedro Sánchez confirms that they do not contemplate its construction in the short term. "
"The National Police Station of Alcantarilla is in an unfortunate state," Buendía has clarified, who has doubted that "there is another police agency in a worse state than that of our municipality" to which he explained that "the members of the National Corps of Police stationed in Alcantarilla, more than 60, all administration personnel, residents of Alcantarilla and all nearby towns that have it as a reference, do not deserve the status of these units in a building of more than 100 years and without possibilities of reform ".
Buendía has stressed that the interest and commitment shown by the Government of Mariano Rajoy, with the visits of Ignacio Cosidó, in 2016, and Germán López (both Directors General of the Police), the rapid processing and delivery of a municipal lot in April of 2018 and the planning of the works from that moment, contrasts with the absolute disinterest on the part of the current Coalition Government of the PSOE and Podemos.
"The conditions of the police station are the same or worse than three years ago and the PSOE government denies us that necessary installation," said the 'popular' leader.
