The spokesman of the Socialist Municipal Group, José Ignacio Gras, believes that municipal boards are the basic agents for political participation in solving the problems of citizens, as organs of proximity and closeness, and to rectify inequalities between neighborhoods and districts of the municipality of Murcia.

"That is why we have chosen because they see increased budgets directly managing boards, as well as other items that will be included in an investment plan."

Gras, with Councilman Enrique Ayuso, he has presented this morning at a press conference featuring big data directly managed budgets municipal boards and district, passing the 11 million they had in 2015 to 15.7 this year, representing together 6.5 percent of the budget of the City of Murcia (excluding staff costs and debt repayment).

If we consider the items that are included in the budgets of the municipal boards of the districts, passing from 8.3 to 11.1 million euros, representing an increase of around 30 per cent

Enrique Ayuso said that in addition to the increase in the budget, the municipal boards managed amounts previously reserved for distribution by certain councilors, which have now been reduced their games.

"In addition, we managed to have some funds to an investment plan for neighborhoods and districts, for those major projects that boards can not develop directly, and that will correct inequalities," said Ayuso.

The Socialist Party spokesman insisted, meanwhile, that "in addition to the quantitative aspects, which are important, we emphasize that we are changing the direction of the management of mayors and pedáneas mayors, as well as all the vowels, because no only going to have more money but have more management capabilities, "said socialist spokesman.

"These challenges, which are not the end of a road, but a step in the direction of changing the policy in the city of Murcia, we must answer all effectively. The policy of proximity, closeness, made by members municipal boards is allowing citizens begin to notice the changes, "concluded Gras.
