The IU-Greens councilors in the city of Murcia, Esther and Jose Ignacio Herguedas Tornel, said today that the municipal budgets for 2013 "are not only the crisis, but above all the result of mismanagement in the years of bonanza ".
To Herguedas, "in the boom years of construction, the council took no large sums of money coming to improve education, transportation and commerce, create jobs and build public housing."
"Quite the contrary, and as one who squanders his fortune, the City spent their money on parties, privatizing basic services management, mortgaged to private infrastructure development to be subsidizing every year and increase its debt to banks ".
Meanwhile, Tornel considered as "a drag on mortgages" Streetcar "that leads nowhere", the privately run sports centers Inacua, Verdolay, Fleet and Cabezo, the contract of the leisure park Terra Natura and management contracts tributes and street cleaning services.
"All these contracts are maintained and even rise, despite the low budget" and to demonstrate PP mismanagement in recent years, has put some examples comparing the current budget in 2008, which had 130 million euros.
"We have worse public transport, but paid 36.6 percent. Tribugest The contract has risen in the last five years by 50 percent and that of the garbage is paid 15 percent more.'s Heading in culture has been reduced by 67 percent while the celebrations has risen by 7.3, a symbol of the form of government of the PP ".
Tornel said that "do not mean that in times of crisis remain the same meager funding and investment in trade, places or employment in good times, or what is worse, how despite increasing needs Investment in social matters remains the same as five years ago. "
In his opinion, "the consequences of the crisis are paid citizens, who are increasing their taxes, urban IBI receipt has risen 71.5 percent in the past five years, local government workers have seen how lower their wages and worse working conditions, and the municipality itself will suffer a progressive deterioration of the drop in investment in public works. "
Finally, Tornel has denounced the "lack of respect" in the formal presentation of these assumptions, as will be discussed before the final approval of tax ordinances and the general state budget and the region.
