The initiative, based on the model that the European Union has defined as EDUSI, improved the candidacy of 2015 and was approved by the Municipal Plenary in December 2016
The Mayor of Molina de Segura, Esther Clavero Mira, met today, Monday, June 19, with the General Director of Community Funds of the Ministry of Finance and Public Function, Jorge García Reig, and has shown the discomfort of the municipality for the Rejection of the candidacy of the Molina de Segura 2020 Sustainable Urban Development Strategy (EDUSI), AVANZA CONTIGO, promoted by the City of Molina.
"Without a doubt, this decision is a grievance for our municipality, since this second call has been resolved with the selection of a single project, a large city, leaving out municipalities with fewer resources," explains the Mayor.
"Strategies that had an excellent valuation, without having been modified, have lowered of score, adjusting everything so that Molina de Segura is outside. It seems to us a game of trileros and an injustice for the citizenship of Mine and of the Region of Murcia, where other municipalities Have also been left out, so that the city of Murcia can have all the resources. I would like both the Federation of Municipalities and the Government of the Region of Murcia to defend and face their municipalities, "says Esther Clavero .
Molina de Segura City Council is involved in the development of its Strategic Plan with the horizon set in 2020. This plan is based on the model that the European Union has defined as Sustainable Urban and Integrated Development Strategy (EDUSI).
Said strategy will be necessary for the municipality to have access to the funds that the European Union makes available to local public administrations.

The City of Molina de Segura, in view of the evaluation of the EDUSI of 2015, of the score assigned by the Valuation Commission, and taking into account the objectives that motivated the submission of the candidacy in 2015, considered it necessary to participate in the Second call, 2016, and present a new strategy, which was approved in the Extraordinary Municipal Plenary that was held on December 14, 2016.
"In the 2016 bid, the objectives were reformulated, reworked and expanded, some lines of action were modified and the budget was reallocated to actions that could have a better valuation and to extend the number of actions and potential beneficiary areas of our city," he explains. The Mayoress.
The municipality of Molina has already participated in the first call of 2015 for the selection of strategies for Sustainable and Integrated Urban Development, with the Molina Ciudad EDUSI strategy.
This strategy exceeded the initial selection phase (minimum 50 points) and was approved with a good score (68.5), although insufficient to obtain ERDF funding (the strategies financed in the Region of Murcia obtained a score of 70.5).
EDUSI STRATEGIES
EDUSIs are part of the European Strategy 2020, specifically within the objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth promoted by the European Commission.

These strategies must address economic, environmental, climatic, demographic and social challenges to promote urban development (ERDF Regulation).
