Note from PSOE:

In 2008, the PP in the city of Murcia has left to run more than 167 million euros earmarked for the municipal budget, of which 137 were for investments that have not materialized.

It is clear from the budget of 2008, reports the PSOE mayor Alfonso Navarro, the chapters most affected by this brutal spending cuts have been those related to real investments (Chapter VI) and capital transfers (Chapter VII) The two paragraphs investor par excellence, whose overall total budget amounts to 72% of the budget.

Brutal cut investment

Real investments are experiencing continued Navarro, a decrease in spending of 70% in 2008.

Of the 133 million forecast, has invested just € 40,756,491, representing a ridiculous 30% of budget implementation.

With regard to transfers of capital is even lower.

Has spent only 25% of schedule (€ 15,278,094), so that more than 60 million euros, 75% of predicted, has remained unspent.

252 investment projects without making

The real consequences of these cuts, reports the Socialist councilor, is that 252 projects, planned investments in the 2008 budget amounting to 137 million euros, have not even seen the light, so that the PP has failed to take three four investment projects.

Delayed payments

Particularly serious and alarming, Navarro points out, is the fact that December 31, 2008, the City of Murcia should third parties more than 85 million euros.

At December 31, 2008, the Consistory had ordered payments worth 309 million euros, however, Navarro said, its obligations to third parties in 2008 that the local administration itself acknowledges, amounted to 394 million euros, resulting in outstanding balance of more than 85 million euros.

"This circumstance is strangling the economy of Murcia and many small and medium enterprises, which are deferred indefinitely the time to charge services to the Consistory."

After analyzing the implementation of the 2008 budget, the PSOE mayor insists that it is reporting some false assumptions, unrealistic and useless.

Now we explain why, "she says both have been delayed in making public some facts that are not nothing but 'the real proof' of waste management, lazy and irresponsible of what the PP has made of public money in 2008.
