The budget is conditioned by major cleaning contracts, tax management, tram, and parks and gardens, among others, remain to be reviewed at the request of the PSOE

The Municipal Socialist Group spokesman, Jose Ignacio Gras, said Friday, after meeting the first draft of the budget of the City of Murcia for 2016, that "we will study them with seriousness and rigor to investments focus on active policies employment, ensure an increase in investments that can be managed directly by the municipal boards and help enable individuals and families who are in a situation of social exclusion. "

According to Gras, "what is is that budgets have souls, that is, having a social projection with measures to facilitate the payment of the contribution (the social IBI) to the thousands of families who are under the poverty line. Also having an economic involvement, with measures to create jobs, and where the business sector, especially the self-employed, small and medium enterprises and, above all, the social economy, play a key role. "

A third element is that the Budget correct inequalities in the municipality of Murcia, especially between the center and the districts, "a commitment that we will look very closely and keep each and every one of the items that appear in the draft accounts ".

Therefore, the Municipal Socialist Group insist that the agreement of Parliament collecting Rules of Participation, in the sense that municipal boards directly manage 8 percent of the investment is met.

Indeed, the first reading of the draft budget shows that does not reflect sufficient to transfer the districts greater weight to the effort in managing resources.

These Estimates provide that the amount previously managed Councilman Decentralization passes the districts directly, but the overall weight is about the same.

The Socialist Party believes that increased investment must go through the transfer of items to manage, for example, other departments such as Development.

Fight against unemployment

Remember that, in 2015, the municipal boards have managed 2.1 percent of the total budget, and in 2016 will do 2.5 percent, but only because direct investment disappears managed by the Department of Decentralization .

Moreover, a reduction of 8 percent in spending on the Department of Employment is observed as it goes from 6.3 million to 5.8 million, in a game that occupies 1.4 percent of total budget spending.

"Urge games dedicated to increasing employment policy because we have a strike that affects nearly 40,000 people, of which more than half are unemployed more than two years and there are 14,000 families with all members unemployed" Gras said.

In addition, the Budget for 2016 are very much conditioned by the City major contracts, such as street cleaning, tram, parks and gardens, Terra Natura and tax management.

Some contracts have yet to be reviewed, because the PSOE in July introduced a motion in Parliament, which was approved by a majority in order to be analyzed to check that they are efficient.

Therefore, the PSOE in the city of Murcia will work in the coming weeks "from the seriousness and responsibility to meet the budget real politics of citizenship, since the social projection of the accounts, economic momentum as an engine employment and the correction of inequalities between the city center and the districts, "he said Socialist spokesman.
