Francisco Martínez, councilor of Cartagena Sí Se Puede-PODEMOS considers that the state of execution of the 2018 budget, presented by the municipal government in the Finance and Interior Commission, highlights the PSOE's lack of discipline in complying with the budget approved by all municipal groups, except for CTSSP that voted against.
"A budget that was approved with a delay of more than 7 months, which was made very low as evidenced by the gap of 21,291,596.23 euros between the amount budgeted and the budget settlement." With a current balance that amounts to to 15,391,621,872E All these data, confirm the permanent complaint that CTSSP has been making use of and abuse of budgets, justify our vote against, show that the municipal government of the PSOE through hundreds of budget modifications does what it pleases , that the amendments approved and included in the budgets are most of them a dead letter, and that the percentage of execution is very low, as you would expect when you have less than 5 months to execute the budget for a whole year. municipal groups, but only CTSSP had the courage to denounce it, "says Francisco Martínez.
"Now they will play again with account 413, with the amortization of the debt and the dedication of the remnant to campaign with new promises of investment in infrastructure.
By 2019, we expect more of the same, the former Treasury Councilor promised to bring the budgets to the Plenary before October 15, 2018, as established by the regulations.
Subsequently, the Mayor said that the budget project would have the municipal groups in February, February is over and the budget project is not even expected.
The extended budget of 2018 has come into force with the expenditure limitations that this entails.
It is very likely that the municipal government of the PSOE will have to resort to the municipal groups, to ask for the support of some payments that are their responsibility and that will need the approval of the majority of the plenary.
Meanwhile, the municipality shows an amazing state of neglect, residents complain about the lack of infrastructure, daily cleaning, maintenance of squares and gardens or citizen insecurity as a result of the lack of municipal police, "concludes the councilor .
