Jesús Giménez: "That the Government should not worry that the proposal comes from us, but that it will serve to help a sector in recession" During the last municipal plenary session in September, MC Cartagena, through the mayor Isabel García, presented an initiative in which the local government was offered to agree on tax ordinances adjusted to the economic crisis to help individuals and companies. In its line of boycott Cartagena, the local government rejected MC's proposed measure, which also contained continuity in the exemption from payment of terrace fees for the year 2021.

It should be remembered at this point that it was MC who promoted putting in This measure is underway for the current year 2020. Once again the Government was not able to live up to the demands of the moment, turning its back on a measure necessary to alleviate the enormous negative effects caused by the health emergency we are experiencing.

For this reason, MC will once again present an initiative to the ordinary plenary session in October to claim the exemption of terrace fees for the year 2021. MC's deputy spokesperson, Jesús Giménez, has pointed out that "in 2020, the year of the coronavirus, the year that disrupted our lives, we have managed, after much fighting with the Government, to withdraw the occupancy rates for the terraces of We also achieve exceptional uses of space for these premises, although the Government is not able to carry them out and, with a few months to go until the end of the year, some premises have not been able to expand this terrace.

" In the current social context, the mayor has outlined that "the truth is that 2021 is presented as the year of recession, a year with poor prospects for any sector, even worse for the hotel business and tourism." "For this reason, despite the fact that in September the Government voted against eliminating the exemption from the payment of terrace fees, a measure that was part of a broad package of tax incentives, in the plenary session on October 29 we will propose it again , because it is a measure that they will end up adopting and they should not worry that it comes from MC, but that it will serve to help a battered sector that is in a frank recession.
