The municipal group of IU-Greens in the city of Murcia will file a motion in Parliament next by requesting the support of the Corporation to constitutional challenge eleven games that have promoted opposition to the basic law of the local government government.
This was announced today the formation Councilman José Ignacio Tornel, who explained that the law arose from a "record" of amendments by the PP itself, and has been "very controversial" to the point that mayors of that party have shown "belligerent" with it.
Tornel According to the law, which came into force on December 31, 2013, eliminates the ability of the regions to municipalities to regulate its territory, violates basic principles of local autonomy and restricts the proper principles of local democracy.
He explained that the constitutional responds to a sealed eleven opposition parties agreement for 3,500 municipalities across the country representing 15 million people present it.
"It is essential that these municipalities have joined" stressed Tornel, who pointed out that Mula, Mazarrón and Calasparra have also joined, and in Murcia "try the PP vote against the reform and will go to reason that mayors of that party have put on the table. "
Meanwhile, the spokesman for IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, Esther Herguedas, indicated that the law could be called "antiayuntamientos" because its effects are very negative and will change municipal life.
Herguedas has said that his group's motion also asked to "start clarified issues concerning the implementation of this law in the town of Murcia" because "is unconstitutional besides a real botched legal nature."
As an example, he noted that the central government is sending circulars without normative value to municipalities with interpretations of the standard.
"Currently, basic municipal services are developing skills that are now challenged the law, because they are paralyzed from the intervention of the City Council has ordered that any payment, recruitment or activity involving financial outlay is not made ".
The IU-Greens spokesperson has argued that the law restricts themselves of municipalities in social services, health and education competencies and limits related to housing, employment, youth development cooperation or consumption.
It has highlighted the existing "ambiguity" surrounding the implementation of the reform, while also accused the government of having "no idea" of what represents the local administration and the closest to the city administration and "linchpin the institutional system. "
In this regard, he gave as an example the situation of a building on Orchard Street that Iberdrola Gambín cut power, and was the City Council to resolve the problem.
"At the time that these powers do not have the session will be impossible to deal with such situations."
He noted that despite the "doubt" caused by the "ambiguities and inaccuracies" of the law, the Regional Government "has said absolutely nothing."
"Throughout this year will have to redefine all the agreements which the Community has with municipalities to conform to the law, and within two years must receive the powers of social services", which "is very delicate and we fear will be settled with the deletion of services. "
You also have to make decisions the City Council regarding the management of certain municipal entities, eg local public companies, which must meet the criteria of financial sustainability required by this standard.
Herguedas pointed out that his group also submitted a motion for joint committees formed by the state are established, the region and the municipality to have a ruling on the application of the law,
IU-Greens also advocate the need to require that the City does not lose contests, and this requires the support of the Regional Government, which is emitted by the reports which argued that the council has sufficient capacity to manage their competencies.
"It was said that with the entry into force of this law would not change anything and it is not true, because the municipal services are suffering the consequences of this reform," added Herguedas, after defending the need to promote a broad debate on municipal issues.
