" An "unfounded" opinion that, according to municipal sources, "has been denied with data contrasted by the Councilor for Housing, Francisco Saorín."Saorín has refuted the aforementioned "population decline" in Cieza, recalling that, "according to INE data, during the years in which the PSOE and IU-Verdes govern in coalition, the population has increased by 172 neighbors, passing the municipality of 35,115 inhabitants.
in January 2015 to 35,287 in January 2020.
The councilor has specified that during 2019 there was a population growth of 398 inhabitants, reversing the trend that had been dragging in recent years of slight population loss.
"As for the young population, between 18 and 30 years old, according to the municipal register, "it has gone from 5,548 residents in December 2015 to 5,467 today.
This small decrease of 81 people is due to two causes: On the one hand, a slight downward stagnation in the birth rate between 1990 and 2002, and on the other, to the fact that these are young people who are pursuing university studies or have finished the same in careers for which there is no job offer in Cieza , which has led them to register in the place where they study or work at the moment, there being no documentary data that it is due to the price of the house as alluded to by councilor Óscar Verdejo "."Regarding the aforementioned increase in the price of housing in the municipality that, according to Councilor Verdejo 'in Cieza only increases year after year'", the Councilor for Housing "has warned that it is a 'hoax more than Citizens' ".
In this sense he has reported that, "according to the idealista portal, during the years in which he is the owner of Housing, the average price of housing has gone from € 980 / m2 on average (June 2015) to € 822 / m2 (June 2015).
2020), which represents a decrease of 16.12% ".Likewise, Saorín "has denied the lack of housing in the municipality since, according to data from the cadastre, the number of dwellings classified as residential use has gone from 15,958 in 2015 to 16,527 in 2019, which represents an increase of 3 , 44% compared to the 0.49% increase in the population.There are currently 13,470 of those cataloged as the main dwelling, considering that is 81.5% of the total dwellings (data from municipalities in figures / Carm 2011, the latest available), this is 2.62 people per household ".In addition, the councilor has pointed out that "the low rate of new home construction (90 between 2016 and 2019, with a rise of 40 in the last year), which contrasts with the strong supply of second-hand properties (430 according to data offered by the largest of the Ciezan real estate companies, of which 250 are flats), not due to the absence of land to build, but to a lower demand that is linked to the low income of the young population and the precariousness of their jobs, A direct consequence of the labor reform of the Rajoy government and of an economic model based on the primary and tertiary sectors.
Thus, the per capita income in Cieza is 8,334 euros, while for the Region this income is 11,301 euros, according to the data of the report 'Cieza 2025: Integrative City', the latest study carried out on the city's situation ".The councilor has stressed that "due to the current productive model of the municipality, the lack of possibilities of finding a job and the existing job insecurity, in Cieza there is a specific 'exodus' of young people who go to large cities where they can find the They are seeking qualified employment according to their studies, but this is not a singularity of Cieza, since it also occurs in other small and medium towns in the Region and the country as a whole ".Lastly, Saorín has recommended Verdejo to "disengage from the spread of hoaxes, to distinguish between opinions and data when issuing his writings and to abandon the slum and aggressive language against the government team to cover its deficiencies and inactivity in municipal political life, what his voters and citizens in general will thank him for.
