The spokesman for the Municipal Socialist Group in the city of Murcia, José Ignacio Gras, criticized Monday "excessive triumphalism Councillor for Finance, Eduardo Martinez Oliva" in relation to statements made by the mayor of government by ensuring that the economy city ​​is in a good time.

"We must clarify the information Mr. Oliva, which omits an important fact: municipal revenues have a high execution rate, yes, but above all because Murcia and Murcia pay their taxes," said Socialist spokesman, who added that "if the economic performance of the city of Murcia are positive, it has to also do with the thrifty eagerness government Ballesta, promises and budget investments then not carried out as to be able to report a surplus that comes at the expense of the non-implementation of the projects announced. "

Gras recalled that the local government of the PP has only implemented a twenty percent of the budgeted investments for 2015, "which means that Ballesta and his team have failed systematically seven out of ten promises made, something that seems to repeat this year judging by the data to May 31, which shed has been spent just over five million of the ninety-seven committed "insisted Gras.

"You can boast of surplus and also allocate this surplus (13.8 million euros) to the amortization of debt at the expense of stop investing in necessary actions for the municipality and also promised and announced with great fanfare . While councilman Hacienda boasts saving, the paradox of a municipality needs is given, with the abandoned villages (sixty percent of the population of Murcia), with the budgets of virtually paralyzed together with transport problems public, schools in disrepair, with streets and roads in urging performances and, most importantly, with families unable to access basic services and need access to aid, "lamented the PSOE spokesman.

The PP backtracks

Gras also wanted to remember, in relation to statements by Councilwoman Martinez Oliva on the revision of cadastral values ​​"has only been a working meeting regarding financial controls, in which the PP announced its intention to review the assessed values ​​for increase them by 1.03 percent. from the Socialist Group flatly we opposed us and gives us the feeling, by the statements of the council of finance, the lack of support from the opposition and, in particular, the refusal of the PSOE, has managed to change their intentions. "

On the other hand, the socialist mayor has indicated that the announcement of the possible elimination of co-payment in Home Care, Family Respite and Telecare, in addition to the falling price of public kindergartens, late and prompted by pressure from the opposition and led by the socialists.

"For years the Socialist Group has been demanding the removal of these co-payments, which were opposed from the start. We have also been demanding the need to revise downwards the prices of public day care centers. It is good to see that the pressure and our work bears fruit with a PP government no longer has a majority, "said Gras.

"The Socialists will continue pushing for copayments are removed, so that the prices of nurseries are revised to be working to improve the daily lives of citizens living in villages and, above all, by making the PP meets advertised and invest in what it promises. There is no point announcing and done if the projects are in a drawer the photo. it is no use trying to convince Murcia that are forgiven more than two million euros in fund IBI when, if we compare receipts five years, we can easily check the rise. in short, Murcia needs a serious government commitment, fulfilling what he says and do not deceive your neighbors. and there is the Socialist Group, ensuring enforce the PP his word, "concluded the socialist spokesman.
