The socialist mayor Juan Patricio Castro laments the lack of credibility and lack of consistency of the municipal budget for 2013 released today by the mayor and council chamber of Finance to the media, rather than political groups in opposition, on the same line "lack of respect and democratic sense" than in previous years.
Castro reports that the expected revenue under only comes to 241 million euros, so it requires the Treasury responsible for clarifying where you plan to get the 150 million still has to complete the planned budget of 391 million euros .
Four million fewer
In this sense, the PSOE councilor reminded the two leaders that a major part of the decrease in income city coffers experience is due to the reduction of 20%, almost four million euros less than that allocated to the municipality CARM Murcia.
"Neither House nor Martinez Conesa must distort reality or mask their inability to require the CARM the money they deserve to Murcia, as funding received by each inhabitant of Murcia by Valcárcel is the lowest in the Region ".
How to speak welfare?
As these budgets ensure the welfare of citizens, Castro questioned how it is that House and Martinez Conesa speak so flippantly of such serious issues.
In this respect he reminds them that it is they alone who have passed the approval of a copayment on basic social services such as home care, telecare, the respite care and day stays, which were previously free, and by now hope to raise more than one million euros.
How to speak welfare?, We question the socialist mayor.
They keep their whims
Regarding the maintenance of public services that boast of, Castro reminded that this is a statement equally fallacious if one considers the "unconscionable contracts" that House has signed in the past and both are weighing on basic public services .
So recalled big contracts with Terra Natura (2, 8 million per year), tram (10 million per year for a single line), the 6 million per year to pay for mortgages private sports centers Fleet, Inacua, Torres and Verdolay Cabezo, or € 600,000 grant for UCAM Murcia basketball club, to name some examples of "good governance".
Bleeding of small businesses
Finally, in relation to another colossal lie about economic recovery and jobs, the PSOE councilor becomes a question how can they say this when "have passed, all by themselves, higher taxes and have not even stopped to consider, for example, the establishment of exemptions and rebates on taxes and public prices for small retail business in Murcia, badly affected by the expansion policy of large shopping centers sponsored by House and his team of government and would enhance speculation urban.
Remember that the deterioration of the traditional trade in the region is being hit, with a drop in sales, the biggest in the country, at 15.8%.
"Shops closed, abandoned storefronts, businesses that are transferred are some of the images in the center of Murcia, a clear sign of the little help that the PP of La Glorieta lends to small businesses in the municipality," Castro ends.
