Progress and Democracy Union in the city of Murcia, through its two councilors in the Consistory, Ruben Juan Serna and José Antonio Sotomayor, abstained from voting on the budget for 2013 Consistory.

As explained by the formation magenta spokesman, Ruben Juan Serna, "we believe that these assumptions are quite unbalanced," with games by large amounts while they have to "juggle" with little money left for other services expenses " we consider essential "as Social Welfare.

In reference to the amounts allocated to the council by Maria del Carmen Pelegrin, Serna believes "should have received more funding" and thereby avoid implementing the copayment in the telecare service for the municipality over "something we reject so absolute and hopefully retire soon. "

"We do not understand how they failed to reduce a penny of these contracts and be paying 3 million euros to a zoo, for example, while charging for this service, we think a lot."

For the mayor of Murcia UPyD, the Popular Party has not been able to successfully manage all these years the municipal coffers, signing contracts cheerfully and without any foresight or responsibility.

In addition, "we know how transparency is presumed when preparing these budgets, when there is something to brag but an obligation," says Serna.

As for the claim that it has reduced the tax burden for citizens, for UPyD Murcia "neighbors do not pay less tax, but something very different, and there is less income to be a decline in economic activity."

Also, in reference to the mayor of Economy and Finance, Isabel Martínez Conesa, "we know the efforts being made to try to fix the inheritance received by his own Party", and that "we are dealing with budgets managed entirely by the municipal group , and have no one to whom to blame. "

"We are definitely", before a budget "and mimetic continuity" with the previous year, "so we can not give our approval and consistent with our position in 2011 and now, our vote is abstention" concludes Serna.

Finally, in reference to the amendments tabled by the Socialist group, Murcia UPyD spokesman says that "shared the spirit of wanting to get big savings on certain items", but disagree on how much the proposed destination , "and raises questions that we might be made unilaterally."
