The Municipal UPyD, through his spokesman Ruben Juan Serna, described the central government's decision to increase PP goods and property tax (IBI) is an increase of 10% for the years 2012 and 2013 in the town of Murcia "as unfair to the citizens of the municipality of Murcia."
According to Serna, the inhabitants of Murcia who have to "pay for the mess of the PSOE and the PP to state and local level, where they take years in office without worrying about cost control measures."
It also "calls attention to the outrage of the PSOE Murcia, when his own party has implemented effective measures in eight years of government to restrain the deficit."
At the municipal level, "this measure should force the municipal government team of PP to seek alternatives to families who are in critical condition. This is where the city of Murcia must provide alternative solutions such as a larger fraction of the potential bonus payment or level of income. In short, be responsible and show sensitivity in these particular cases to mitigate as far as possible the rise of the IBI. "
Finally, UPyD spokesman would remember that there are municipalities that are truly "bottomless pits" for this measure will not be the solution.
"We've been calling for specific conservation measures and better control of spending, such as the elimination of the councils and other agencies, or merging small municipalities, to avoid having to resort to indiscriminate easy as IBI rise."
