The spokesman, José Antonio Serrano, gives as an example municipalities where it has been decided to increase tax credits with the complicity of the PP and, however, in Murcia "they lack the will and humanity to help our neighbors." The Municipal Socialist Group has abstained in the vote on the modification of the fiscal ordinances for proposing a reduction in municipal rates and taxes "unambitious and with little capacity to protect families and the self-employed," according to the spokesman, José Antonio.
Highlander. This is a modification of the municipal fiscal ordinances for the financial year 2020 as a result of the exceptional situation created by virtue of the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, and which will especially harm certain groups such as families affected by the increase in unemployment, self-employed, hoteliers and merchants. While town councils in the Region such as San Javier, San Pedro del Pinatar, Archena, Alcantarilla or Águilas apply 100% discounts for the entire year on the rate of chairs and tables and on that corresponding to weekly markets, in Murcia only 50 are raised % "and we think it is insufficient". In addition, Serrano has declared that the government team "beyond facilitating the payment of taxes to families, with personalized payment plans, do not make any additional effort, they come to tell them, pay, in comfortable terms but pay." However, he adds, "what if the situation does not allow them to pay? Will those families have to decide between eating or paying taxes? And if they do not pay, then they will become delinquent with this administration involuntarily." The socialist spokesman has accused the PP of "having neither the will nor the humanity" to help the residents of the municipality, and also of lying.
"Because we have raised the 100% discount on the fees and chairs tax and the social IBI, and they have thrown this proposal in the trash." In this regard, he insisted that "we have proposed the social IBI for the most vulnerable families, and although they will say that they cannot apply it, we ask why their colleagues do not report to the mayor of Elche, where this year they increase aid to through subsidies up to € 1,400,000 to pay the aforementioned tax, going from the 7,000 beneficiary families to the 10,000 ".
Or why do your colleagues not denounce the mayor of Lorca where he has put a million euros in direct aid for merchants, freelancers and hoteliers to pay the IBI, the market rate and car stamps? Or, even, to the mayor of Madrid, "where 25% discounts have been approved in the IBI and the IAE, conditioned by the maintenance of the average workforce for leisure establishments,hospitality and commerce ".
He even uses Granada as an example, where PP governs with Cs and, in the IBI regulatory ordinance in article 10, point 6 they collect social bonuses with a bonus that reaches up to 90% of the quota For families with difficulties and with properties that do not exceed 60,000 euros of cadastral value. For all these reasons, the socialist spokesman insists that it is only about "having political will and having people at the center of thought, and this does not seem to be the case with the PP."
