- Citizens remember that all municipal groups are guilty of accounting chaos this year, "some by default and others by action," says Padin.

During the extraordinary plenary session requested by the PP to request explanations from the Government of Cartagena for the 43 budget modifications it has made, the spokesman for Citizens, Manuel Padín, considers that his respect and loyalty to the Cartagena forces him to distribute blame for the disaster and the accounting chaos this year in the City of Cartagena, "it is a fact, we are not going to put hot packs to the evidence that all political groups, except CTSSP-Podemos, approved a municipal accounts for 2018 mad and lunatic, boycotted by MC and PP with unviable amendments at the last second, in the inability to reach an agreement of PSOE, PP and MC is the origin of all delays, and much of the budget changes that have been made later, obviate this incontestable fact is to lie to the neighbors of Cartagena, "says Manuel Padín.

To Citizens it seems ridiculous and hypocritical the attitude of the people and reminds them that only in the first quarter of 2015, the Cartagena PP made by Government Board or Decree budget changes worth more than 6 million euros in the municipal budget ;

a modification that the orange formation considers dubious and of which the Plenary did not realize, but there is still more, in the fiscal year 2013, the Government of the Popular Party, made budget modifications for a value superior to 16 million euros, " Today they throw their hands in the head for half that amount ?, we can not help thinking that this House is just a political instrument of the PP that does not seek to improve the lives of Cartagena but only make noise, so much so that even They have proposed an initiative to prevent budget modifications from happening so easily, "says Manuel Padín.

The Cs spokesman adds that the PP does not care about the budgetary modifications made in 2015 and 2016 by MC and PSOE and that they are as numerous and important as the current ones.

Proposal to limit the power of the PSOE

The competence to authorize the budgetary modifications is found each year in the Budget Execution Bases.

Cs understands that, for reasons of agility, it is the responsibility of the Governing Board or by Decree of the responsible councilor, except in certain cases, when they affect the personnel chapter, as happened with the payment of RED hours.

"What is not excusable is the control of legality, so all the files relating to modifications have been accompanied until the date of the mandatory report of the Municipal Intervention, therefore, and trusting as we always do in the criteria of the technicians and professionals of the house, this end is not put in doubt ", has assured Padín that clarifies that" another thing is that we like more or less the decisions of this Government in minority, especially when, in spite of its clear disadvantage numerical, does not have the rest of the Corporation to decide in what to invest significant amounts of the Budget of the citizens, for that reason Citizens propose to increase the level of control of the modifications ".

Cs announced today is working to propose "a change in the wording of the bases for the execution of budgets to increase control of the local government and reduce its ability to take forward the capricious and unjustified budget modifications, always respecting the Regulatory Law of the Local Haciendas ".

The state law allows in article 179 that local entities regulate in the bases of budget execution the transfer regime establishing, in each case, the competent body to authorize them, "therefore, we are already studying how to further limit the capacity of this Government in absolute minority of PSOE so that it does not commit excesses or satisfy electoral whims at the expense of the budget, we will do it by means of a modification of the wording of our bases of execution, and we will raise it in the negotiations of the 2019 budget ".

Citizens also believe it is appropriate to remember that in any case, any budgetary modification requires a prior report from the General Intervention, "which is why it is of paramount importance for our democratic and accounting hygiene that the comptroller's post be filled as soon as possible by due process meritocratic by a qualified national that safeguards the principles of independence, impartiality, objectivity and justice, that avoids with its work any excess of the Government, is the party that is ".

Padín explains that "in a strong government it would not be necessary to limit this much, but in Cartagena, where there is only one government that represents 13 percent of the voters and that has handpicked the interventor is necessary."

The irresponsibility of PP and MC in the modifications

Orange spokesman recalls that much of the modified items has been to correct the indecency that MC and PP perpetrated to eliminate, via amendments, the payment of overtime to our firefighters, municipal brigades and Local Police, and to finance the processes for the offer of public employment and divert the money to the reform of the old and controversial Hotel Peninsular, "of course we must order and correct this lag of hours in the staff of the City, but until it is done, MC and PP can not remove to our public workers their right to collect the work done, and obstruct the realization of municipal competitions, "said Manuel Padín. The orange spokesman also recalled that the monumental delay to approve the accounts (facilitated by Podemos and MC with their allegations useless) forced the City Council to make many budget modifications to be able to invest the surplus of 2017, "if they had not done that, the

isis of our municipality would have been much greater. "

"The amendments also respond to the payment of convictions for the botched by the PP to assess the land managed by the company Casco Antiguo," recalls Manuel Padin who believes that "PP is not precisely the most legitimate party to criticize the changes in the accounting document ".

In spite of everything, "there are some modifications of the PSOE that we do not understand and that seem unjustified and capricious," says Manuel Padín.

Citizens regrets that the PP has convened this unnecessary Extraordinary Plenary with the sole objective of obtaining electoral revenues, "this session was not necessary, it was enough for the PP to present a battery of questions, request the appearance of the mayor or the councilor of the Treasury or convene the Special Commission of Accounts that presides over the PP, the popular do not want everyone to learn from the mistakes made for the good of Cartagena, do not want to provide solutions as it has done Cs, or discuss other more essential issues such as Cartagena health, or pollution in our land, continue with the help of MC and Podemos in their tactic of sacrificing the interests of Cartagena to win a handful of votes in the 2019 election, that destructive attitude is the kind of political opposition that contributes to stagnation economically to the municipality and does not fix anything ".
