"These are not our Budgets, we would have made them very different, and although we have emphasized Decentralization, Social Services, Education, Employment and Transportation, not all our proposals are"

The Socialist Municipal Group, which has been working since the end of 2016 in the preparation of proposals for the Municipal Budgets 2017, has achieved with its implication that during the current year the largest economic commitment in years for districts is to be carried out on a proposal from The municipal boards.

In particular, 14 million euros will be used for public facilities and heritage conservation actions, although this is an Investment Plan, which will be approved as a separate document from the same Budgets.

Precisely one of the achievements highlighted by the spokesperson of the Socialist Municipal Group, Susana Hernandez, is precisely the greater autonomy that municipal boards will have as their spending capacity increases from 3,000 to 5,000 euros;

In addition to having an additional 1,900,000 euros also for investments and 1,081,000 to increase the item of current expenditure.

"Correcting the historic discrimination that has been suffered by the districts for 22 years has been our main challenge and we believe that these Budgets will begin to correct an endemic disease that has been going on for too long, and also the lack of spending capacity on the part Of the meetings, "he added.

Likewise, in the negotiation process between PSOE and PP has been achieved the creation of a Social Welfare item of 250,000 euros as an extraordinary aid for the payment of the IBI, and this same amount to match the transport bonus between districts and city;

265,000 euros for tourist signage and more than 550,000 euros for the rehabilitation of the Casa de Antonete Gálvez and the Sala Caballerizas and the expansion of the Science Museum.

"The creation of shade zones is another of our concerns, first in schools, where 75,000 euros will be used (in addition to an additional 100,000 for repairs and 125,000 for nurses), and now we believe that those areas are extended to children's playgrounds and For this we have requested the appropriation of 375,000 euros, "explains Hernández, who is satisfied with the work done by the Municipal Socialist Group during these months, not only because of everything obtained, but because" we have managed to keep the budget allocations in sections As sensitive and necessary as Social Services and Employment. "

In any case, he adds, "these are not our Budgets, because if we had the capacity to design them would be another document that we would have presented and, although we have emphasized in the sections of Decentralization, Social Services, Education, Employment and Transportation , Are not all our proposals.

In this sense, he emphasizes that "we have also worked for the Housing Development Plan to be implemented, as we consider it necessary for many families and for the emancipation of our young people."

The spokeswoman warns that "we have intervened in these budgets for an exercise of responsibility and commitment to the Murcia, because it is now when the PP lose the absolute majority, you can work and so we decided to step forward. Even if the Ballesta team deserves a blockade of the Budgets, our neighbors do not. "

Therefore, he adds that "we have not been satisfied with the consignment of items that will be a true shocker for the districts, but we have also worked for the creation of a Commission for Monitoring and Control of the Budget in order that everything agreed Is fulfilled ".

Also, we have included the start-up of a working table to develop the model of operation of municipal boards, where the pedantic figure is well defined.

"This is the result in large part of the contribution of the Socialist Municipal Group to the draft budget presented by the PP, in which we will continue working every day so that each of the citizens of our municipality feel that it improves their quality of Life, "says Hernandez.
