The Socialist councilor Juan Patricio Castro presented an initiative in Parliament on Thursday to ask the City Council that automatically pays the interest on their debts with suppliers, without the need for those affected have to claim them.
And he warns that failure to pay Castro government is seriously damaging to small and medium enterprises.
"It's unfair that the City does not pay in a timely manner, so that is priority in the budgets for 2012 will arbitrate formulas do not occur as in previous years."
In addition to the significant delays in payments to suppliers (September 30, the Consistory has only paid 40% of the 99 million euros to be), the PSOE mayor explained that when paying more than 50 days delay must be paid to suppliers default interest that makes the law, so there is an increase of the original expenditure of such invoices.
In this way - report-is still an increase of current expenditure devoted largely to pay bills from previous years and the interest they generate.
In 2010, for example, the City of Murcia paid with an average delay of 4.5 months.
"This delay is not feasible without the Consistory has no cost, hence our proposal to the plenary for the local administration, trade, liquidate the interests of those affected without delay they have to claim them," concluded the mayor the PSOE.
