The socialist spokeswoman believes that before applying a cut of 30% of the investment chapter in the 2019 budgets, the PP should debug the remaining treasury that currently amounts to 105 million euros for works and purchases not made since 2006

Hernandez affirms that "for the PSOE, first of all, there is to correct the inequalities between the city center and the rest of the municipality because as long as there are children who do not have sidewalks to go to school, they can wait for the Murcia River"

The Socialist Municipal Group has had evidence of a circular of the Department of Finance addressed to the various services of the City of Murcia in which it is expected a cut of almost 30% in the investment chapter.

"We fear that this cut will directly affect those urgent and necessary works of neighborhoods and districts, and we will not allow it," said the socialist spokeswoman, Susana Hernandez, who insists that the priority for the PSOE is to correct the inequalities between the center and the rest of the municipality.

In addition, points out that "if it were the case, the government team should know how to prioritize and be responsible, so if you have to cut that is the macro virtual projects that announces and photographs without any hurry the team of Mayor Ballesta. we can consent that this cut in investments affects works as basic and essential for the day to day of our neighbors as a sidewalk, especially when it is essential for children to go to school. it can wait".

In this regard, he added that "in the end it is the municipal councils that, for the most part, take charge of these basic and essential works".

For Hernandez, "betting on projects like Murcia River to put some plants or lights and give up a study room or a bus in districts is a step back from the Municipal Socialist Group combat."

He explained that this almost 30% cut would be related to the investment of 14 million euros in the burial and tramway debt, which has caused the municipal accounts are intervened and that each economic decision has to be authorized by the Ministry of Finance.

However, the socialist spokeswoman recalled that "the PP refers to this tram debt as virtual, but it is a lie because it actually conditions our expenses as City Hall."

Therefore, it proposes that the expenditure that this City Council has to face for the burial work by 2019 should come out of debugging the remaining treasury that "remember that the municipal intervention amounted to 105 million euros." This remnant comes from different investments not made, for example, several printers that since 2006 have not been purchased and we are in 2018, so it is clear that they are not so necessary. "

In addition, he recalled that it was from this remnant that "we were able to obtain the 14 million euros for the Extraordinary Plan of Works in Pedanías in the agreement of the 2017 Budget".

Finally, he declared that "the PP must stop tormenting the partridge and begin to undertake the urgent, that if it is not clear we can pass a long list."
