The spokesman for IU-Greens in the city of Cieza, Antonio Penalva, showed the opposition of your organization Streamlining Act and Sustainability of Local Government, that the PP wants to get ahead "against the opinion of all social movements, neighborhood and other parliamentary political parties ".

"
