The Socialist Municipal Group asserts that the proposed budget of the Autonomous Region for 2012 mistreat the citizens of the municipality.
Therefore support any claims made by the local government, with Mayor House to head off the CARM to territorialized spending more equitable and fair to the citizens of Murcia.
"It's amazing how it allocates the Autonomous Community territorialized spending by municipalities," said Councilman John Patrick Castro, who explains that "the regional government skews the results upward and investment spending per capita in the municipality," taking into account that almost 70% of expenditure is investment for the University of Murcia and the Seneca Foundation that serve the entire region, not just the city of Murcia.
€ 25 less for each of the 441,345 residents of Murcia
Discounting the budgetary allocations to cover the cost of all public universities and research organizations in the region, continues to Castro, the average expenditure per capita in the Community is 180.88 euros, 25 euros less being received by a neighbor municipality of Murcia (155.8 €).
Likewise, the socialist mayor noted that expenditure of 415.2 million territorialized, only 17.9 goes directly to the City of Murcia, 4.3% of the total.
Not only that, he continues, but in addition, that budget has fallen by 28% compared with that assigned to the Consistory of Murcia in 2011, well above the fall of the consolidated budget in the CARM reaching 11%.
Bread today, hunger tomorrow
A detailed analysis of expenditure allocated to the City reveals that the current expenditure up by 62.6% (2.2 million euros), while investments fell by 43.8% (9.3 million euros).
In short, denounced Castro, "Bread today, hunger tomorrow" in a moment of crisis you have to adjust and rationalize spending well, being aware that the investment is the most important generator of jobs. "
From 5.8 to 1.9 for neighborhoods and districts
However, the socialist mayor noted that this regional budget and are not secured the necessary investments in neighborhoods and districts and the completion of the coastal North and South.
In the case of neighborhoods and districts, investment has fallen dramatically: from 5.8 million in 2011 to 1.9 in 2012, 66 percent less.
And the coastal promised?
The 10 million provided by CARM for coastal North and South account for only 39% of its total cost is 25.6 million euros, as established by the board of directors last Urbamusa.
In short, what is planned for implementation in 14 months and completion date February 2013, will have to wait until 2014 or 2015 to have a basic infrastructure for the municipality, including the coastal South.
According to Castro, "this House deserves the mayor spend effort and courage to demand an improvement to the regional government's budget finally approved to increase spending and investment per capita in the municipality of Murcia, in absolute terms the most affected on the basis of the numbers. "
