And it qualifies as insufficient the heading for the burial: "We are paying the arrival of the AVE in surface"

The councilman of Cambiemos Murcia Sergio Ramos today considered that the draft budgets presented by the regional government for next year "condemn municipalism", failing to assume "constitutional responsibility" to guarantee local funding.

Ramos stressed that the proposal of the regional government includes, among others, 1.3 million euros for the conservation and monitoring of the private airport of Corvera, still closed, while the investment directed to public transport of municipalities and Social Services .

Regarding the 7.7 million euros that the accounts propose to destine to burial, the mayor stressed that demonstrates that this action is not going to be undertaken and that the High Speed ​​will reach Murcia on the surface.

Likewise, he has called "ridiculous" the amount that they propose for the works of the Los Garres level crossing and has ensured that it will only serve to keep it in the present precarious situation, being now a fundamental communication route from south to North by the cuts originated by the works of the Tiñosa bridge.

In addition, "instead of improving sanitary facilities in the north of the municipality, with the construction of the new health center in Santiago and Zaraiche, only 170,000 are budgeted that will not solve the situation of collapse that is lived."

The money destined to the municipalities by the presidential council for 2017 is the 32'7% of the budget of the year 2009, going from 84,628,416 euros in that year to 27,628,416 for this budget.

Therefore, "we are far from recovering the cuts in local financing to the municipalities of the Region throughout the crisis."

In the same vein, it has warned that the Local Cooperation Plan "is still very far" from the items allocated in 2011 and previous years, and "zero" items such as the Plan of Pedanias and Peripheral Neighborhoods for more municipalities Of 50,000 inhabitants and the Financing Fund for Local Corporations of over 5,000, a situation that "especially damages municipalities such as Murcia."

For its part, the Citizen Security Plan "follows the cut of 27% established in 2012", forcing municipalities to make the difference to continue paying the local police payrolls of citizen security patrols, which means that The Consistory "has to finance services created and competence of the Autonomous Community".

According to Ramos, the accounts show that the regional government "continues to mistreat municipalities through an abandonment of their constitutional obligation to contribute sufficiently to local financing, and continues to apply significant cuts that endanger the maintenance of basic infrastructure."

Also the reduction of the budgets for the Social Services of the Town halls have received the criticisms of Cambiemos Murcia.

"We are still in a situation of continuity of the cuts, CARM does not assume the competences in these areas nor transfers sufficient amounts to the municipalities, which is transformed into a degradation of the quality of these services."
