For Ramos, it is "incomprehensible" that this issue is not part of the public debate of the parties that can form the new government, so that municipalities regain their autonomy and economic independence and ability to deal with public services, especially when this law was passed by the PP opposed by the other political forces.

The ARSAL has meant establishing guardianship over local government by the provincial or autonomous communities, subordinating the services provided the cost thereof as the sole criterion.

"The budgetary stability and financial sustainability can not be the only yardstick, to which the municipal autonomy", said the councilor, after insisting that "the objective of the PP to this Act was the divestment and emptying the scope of powers Local, leaving the municipalities as merely formal entities. "

The municipalist training has also complained that many municipalities of change, such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Alicante, Zaragoza and Cadiz, suffer "harassment" of the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration, threatening to intervene municipal coffers the situation of debt that generated the previous management corporations.

For this it is necessary for governments to commit and equip local authorities more funds.

"Only with a firm commitment to quality public services and close to citizens can be operated, and this runs counter to the aim of the Local Reform PP".

Finally, Ramos has held that it is time to start a debate about the financial sufficiency and political autonomy, the city as a pillar of economic development and the promotion of a new production model within the new model of state.
