The IU-Green spokesman in Murcia, Esther Herguedas, said today that the municipality budgets for next year are "not credible, hardly achievable and are disconnected from reality."
Herguedas has indicated that as in previous years, the budget "re-made on the basis of their possible non-compliance" with a forecast of revenue "that have nothing to do with the situation."
In this regard, said that despite the expected slowdown consistory Urban collect more tax revenue from construction and eight million euros more than in 2011 in urban IBI concept.
The mayor pointed out that the budget document does not include a drop in tax revenues from economic activities, which is interpreted as "a disconnect with the reality of the crisis."
He criticized the increase in "all fees" regardless of the purchasing power of citizens, and the claim of the city council to raise twice as much for the terraces of the hotel establishments, which "will further reduce the sector's survival."
Herguedas also stressed that the balance 'is achieved by an excessive reliance on financial operations ", which, in his opinion," no longer a make-up operation. "
"The council aims to bridge the cuts in income from other administrations, which in the case of the State fell by 8.65 percent and in the Community with an 25.65 percent on transfers to cover skilled services as unsuitable provided by the municipality, and 43 percent in those to cover investments.
