The Municipal Socialist Group denounces, after analyzing the draft Municipal Budget for 2017, that the provision foreseen in the headings destined to the municipal boards moves away from the decentralization at the same time as the money of direct management of two councils of the PP increases, The Promotion and Decentralization.

Therefore, the councilman Enrique Ayuso states that "the municipal budget allocated to municipal boards is 10.6 million euros, practically the same amount as in 2016, only 300,000 euros more, while the councilors of Decentralization and Development reserve Two sections of the draft budget of investments for its direct management ", further specifies that" one of them, which is new in the budget, 'General District cost center 888', is endowed with 900,000 euros and the other, 'Community Services Cost center 047 ', increases significantly, and goes from 100,000 euros from 2016 to 1,651,500 euros. In both cases, it is not specified what will be invested. "

In this regard, the mayor states that "we return to arbitrary management by the councilors of the Government team, despite the efforts made last year to reduce centralized management to increase those of municipal boards, because while The decentralized budget stagnates, the funds that the councilors handle unilaterally increase. "

In addition, according to Ayuso, this circumstance is complemented by the "systematic non-compliance of the motions approved in plenary by the Councilor for Decentralization with a view to drawing up the budgets of 2017, for example, that demanded 8 percent for The meetings, which leads us to conclude that the Popular Party does not believe in decentralization and therefore insists on a centralized and centralized municipal management model. "

"In the Socialist Party we are convinced that the administration of the City of Murcia will be more efficient and fair the closer you get to the neighbor of each of our neighborhoods and districts, and the boards become direct responsible for administrative and political action "Said the councilman.

The proposals of the PSOE for these Budgets go to reach the 8 percent of the municipal budget for the decentralized management by the municipal boards, "as we have been defending it in the present legislature and in the previous ones, to fulfill once with the 2005 Participation Regulations, "he says.

He also recalled the demand for the Councilor for Finance to request a full review of all sections of the budget for decentralization, as well as the demand "to implement the administrative, technical and competence reforms in our municipality so that the Increase of the budgets of the boards can be managed effectively and with all the controls and legal guarantees. "

Finally, the socialist councilor has stated that "the aspiration of managing 8 percent of the budget by the boards is not a peculiarity of Murcia, but a requirement of a state law, which applies in other municipalities more complex than ours , Such as Barcelona, ​​where the budgets of 2017 allocate 10 percent to decentralized management, or Madrid, whose regulation sets 11 percent and aims at the end of its term to reach 25 percent for management by the boards.
