The Municipal Socialist Group calls on the central government to "loosen the corset" of the City of Murcia in order to recover their freedom so you can invest in the surplus citizens.
In this sense, he will defend a motion in the next Plenary, especially because "it is clear and demonstrated that local administrations are those that are strictly complying with the spending rule, very unlike the same central administration and also the autonomic one".
Hernandez, who recalled that a similar motion was filed a year ago, explains that "since the local administration is the closest to the citizen, it must have decision-making capacity and sufficient resources to face the demands of its neighbors" and, In addition, "complying with the spending rule as they are doing should not continue to be punished."
"If this veto is not lifted, they can not invest to expand social policy, employment policy or equality or youth programs, but the positions of retiring staff can not be covered either," the socialist spokesperson said. "At this time the City of Murcia can only deal with fixing streets, repairs and paying debt, while services are losing quality and employment is precarious."
In this regard, he specifies that "under these conditions we can not invest in works, for example, in a municipal pool, because you can not hire staff, or call competitive exams to fill all vacancies in such sensitive and priority services as the Local Police and Firefighters".
In addition, in this case, "there is a paradox that in the 2017 municipal budgets there is a consignment to cover 71 vacancies for police and, nevertheless, a few days ago they announced that 47 vacancies will be announced, 21 planned since 2016."
Therefore, it concludes that "it is not logical that the government team has a budget and can not find a way to convene them, and yet they pay 150 extra hours, at least, per agent per year".
