- The MC amendments were not an error, "but an indecent and deliberate act of budgetary boycott, they knew it well because before the Plenary for approval of budgets, the unions made it known, and the PP was the necessary accomplice by voting in favor of everything, regardless of the viability or legality of what he was doing, "says the orange training spokesman.
On the occasion of the information published today by the newspaper La Opinión de Cartagena, citing the UGT union regarding the amendments introduced by the populist MC formation that withdrew items destined for the Fire and Rescue Extinction Service (SEIS) of Cartagena, the Municipal Group of Citizens wishes to clarify that it is not true that they supported those unfeasible amendments during the budget debate.
The formation, like the PSOE of Cartagena, abstained in all of them after knowing the repairs of the municipal auditor.
Destination of the Fire Extinguishing Service items that MC diverted:
1) Water quality studies: 35,000 + 1,102
2) Greenway of Barrio Peral: 50,000
3) La Aljorra storm raft: 100,000
4) Soccer field 5 in La Aljorra: 25,000
5) Adaptation of municipal buildings: 1,712
Cs was ABSTUVO in these five that add 212,814 euros.
The amendments came forward thanks to the votes of Partido Popular and MC.
This information can be corroborated by reviewing the minutes of the session, or viewing the video of the Plenary.
Citizens also want to state that they would have supported each of the localist training projects if their accounting had been technically and legally possible.
"With the sloppy work of PP and MC, it hurt not only our fire services, but all the neighbors who waited for the rest of the projects," says Cs Cartagena spokesman Manuel Padín.
The indecency of MC and PP
The municipal budget of Cartagena in 2018 is a patchwork of biblical proportions, assures Cs Cartagena spokesman Manuel Padín, which mainly blames the MC and PP parties because "they not only refused to sit down with the government to work on some accounts balanced and reasonable, but they decided to boycott the games with unviable amendments that took forward in a shameful and irresponsible alliance ".
"MC and PP joined in the Plenary to break the accounts including more projects and works that were able to support the public coffers, and with unfeasible and possibly illegal amendments, and to get it blackmailed the Government with its support until the last second In addition, they bled the items that were destined to pay the processes for the municipal competitions, to pay the overtime of police, firemen and municipal brigades, even took the money for improvements in the equipment of the Fire Extinction Service ".
Manuel Padín assures that the amendments of MC were not an error, "but an indecent and deliberate act of budget boycott, they knew it perfectly because before the plenary for the approval of the budgets, the unions made it known, and the PP was the necessary accomplishment voting in favor of everything, without first looking at feasibility, legality, availability, or congruence. "
These parties despised the interest of Cartagena to satisfy their desire for political revenge.
"We arrived at a budgetary pact, well calculated and reasonable, with the local Executive that we have fulfilled at face value in exchange for amendments and conditions, that little by little are coming out, among them the reform of the street Beatas and perpendicular, the parking Free of charge in front of the Santa Lucía Hospital, and the Cartagena program that will be developed thanks to an agreement between the Government and the Association of Young Entrepreneurs, "says Manuel Padín who says that" that and not another is the best way to serve Cartagena.
