Yesterday we knew that, given the repeated breaches of the regional government in the payment to suppliers when exceeding the maximum payment period of these invoices, the Ministry of Finance has decided to retain a percentage of the deliveries made to CARM to make from Madrid the payment thereof.
And it is that from the Ministry of Finance already accumulates a commercial debt of more than 200 million euros with its suppliers, a scandalous figure that demonstrates the precipice to which the PP directs us, now with the help and complacency of Citizens and VOX.
The circumstance has been assessed by the head of the economic area at MC Cartagena, Isabel García, who has ruled that "the numbers are the strongest argument on which to establish an analysis. We are not talking about impressions or opinions. This is information. 200 million euros of debt with suppliers and an average payment term close to 80 days, almost three times what the Budget Stability and Financial Sustainability Law establishes. "
"An economic disaster that we can talk about in Cartagena in the first person, because the return of the PP to our City Council is the most devastating news we could receive, go back twenty years and return to the old and ruinous policies that led us to be intervened, such as Now it happens with the CARM, "Garcia continued.
155 is applied to CARM
In regional terms, the leader of MC has highlighted "the disastrous management of the PP and its Government partners, Citizens, compromising regional liquidity, diminished in itself by the gross increase in regional debt, which reaches 10,000 millions of euros".
He then recalled "the populist and incoherent measures," announced by the regional Executive, "through a tax cut that is totally counterproductive considering the large debt that the Region carries. A way of doing things that It mimics what happened in our Town Hall, where the first budget of the PP has been 'square' with two loans of ten million euros. "
The effects of a uniprovincial Autonomous Community
Later, Garcia, making the reflections of the Minister of Finance of the CARM, Javier Celdrán, recalled that "the disastrous financial situation that this Autonomous Community is going through is a problem of budgetary infringement, the product of the autonomous financing system. the catastrophic financial structure, as well as the lack of representativeness of the Autonomous Community at the national level due, in part, to the fact of being uniprovincial ".
Then, the councilor of MC has ruled that "this intervention, if you do not change the direction of management and financing of the CARM, will be the first of the possible future measures of this poorly structured, poorly funded and poorly managed community."
2020 budgets, a debt that citizens pay
To conclude, Isabel García has stated that "in MC we are already working one more year in the detailed and exhaustive analysis of the regional Budgets for the year 2020, as well as the role of Cartagena in them".
In line with this, he has advanced that "it is a document in which the debt has the greatest role in the history of the CARM, so, a priori, the money that should be invested directly in the citizens has to be allocated to pay public debt year after year. "
