Union, Progress and Democracy correcting the Municipality of San Pedro del Pinatar to issue some erroneous data on EU citizens entitled to vote in local elections.
The party claims that the Consistory confused the number of immigrants from outside the total of immigrants from all countries.
The data provided was of 6,832 people, who accounted for 27.8% of the population pinatarense, clearly disproportionate amount that would, if true, that San Pedro del Pinatar was one of the towns in the Murcia Region with the highest rate of migrants outside the EU.
UPyD not have current data for immigrants in San Pedro del Pinatar, but data from the municipal census of 2009, that figure from outside the European Union in 3870 and 6397 total.
Moreover, the 3,870 non-EU citizens, the majority, 2,032, are African, so would not be entitled to vote in municipal elections.
Thus, in the census of 2009, non-EU immigrants with voting rights would be around 1,100 people, which must be added those that have been built since then, but that would be less than one sixth of the number that published the Town Hall.
Finally, UPyD advises the press department of statistics and the City Council, acting with more rigor and contrast twice before issuing their figures, not to mislead the citizens of San Pedro del Pinatar, but praised the initiative that has launched to inform their voting rights to EU citizens of the municipality.
José Luis Ros, UPyD candidate, said "the City has committed a clear error in the statistics published, we ask you to rectify for the citizens of San Pedro, both Spanish, and outside the Community, have access to the figures real. "
