- Alicia Morales denounces, in addition, that the draft of the alleged budgets of 2018 is being presented in the plenary sessions of the municipal councils, of which is the first news that we have in Now Murcia. That draft has not yet been sent to the municipal groups of the City, nor is known the final amount of available expenses "

NOW MURCIA criticizes the budgets of PP-PSOE in the municipal boards "for antisocial and for not attending the needs of neighborhoods and districts".

After the approval of the budgets of the City of Murcia last July, with the PSOE supporting and drawing forward the proposal of the PP, these days the various municipal councils hold their respective extraordinary plenary to address their accounts.

"From Now Murcia we can not support budgets that continue to treat as neighbors of the second to those who live in neighborhoods and districts," says Alicia Morales, "despite the sentence that obliges to increase to 8% of the total budget the endowment to the joints ".

The spokeswoman of Now Murcia denounces that "these accounts that are presented for voting in the different municipal boards come with the distribution already done, instead of leaving it to proposal and free modification of the groups that form each meeting, which is how it was done until now".

For the councilor, "these budgets, in addition, deplete the participation of all the members in the decisions of the board, as they give the president the power to spend on his own up to 5,000 euros without going through the full, when the figure was before up to 3000 euros ".

For all of this, Morales states that "these budgets violate citizen participation, against the decision-making capacity of the board and against its autonomy of operation and decision."

"In Now Murcia we are convinced that these are not the budgets our neighbors and neighbors need," notes the mayor, who remembers that "they are still focused on paying the big contracts of the City Council (streetcar, buses, trash, tax collection , Terra Natura, garden contracts, etc.) and do not take into account many of the needs of our neighbors.

Draft budgets for 2018

Alicia Morales also denounces that the draft of the alleged budgets of 2018 is being presented in the plenary sessions of the municipal councils, of which is the first news that we have in Now Murcia. That draft has not yet been sent to the municipal groups of the City Council, nor is the final amount of available expenditure known, which can be modified, as acknowledged in the circular that the Economic Director has sent to opposition groups, in which she speaks of maximum percentage increase.

The Councilwoman emphasizes the unjustifiable paradox that "while the budgets of 2017 are presented to the meetings with 9 months of delay, those of 2018 want us to approve them in less than a week, which precludes a calm debate." Before all this , Morales stresses that "from now Murcia we believe that another way of working is possible, proposing a process of participatory budgets, in which the expenses are adapted to our reality and what is needed at each meeting."
