| Isabel García: "To favor their client network in the future, today they cause business closures and one municipality each dirtier and more insecure "| This morning, the councilor of MC Cartagena, Isabel García, has argued the data released by the Cartagena spokesperson, José López, who has denounced that the Government avoids executing, three months after the end of the year, a very significant percentage of the budget annual. Thus, as of September 30, 52.61% of the budget for the year had been executed, which amounts to 229,791,192.05 euros.
What is the same, there are 120,895,495.66 euros left without spending. These data could have been justified by the fact of having collected less income than expected, an argument that does not hold because even with the increase in the IBI, the net collection at that date is 91.84% of the expected, almost 200 million of euros.
Therefore, at least almost 77 million euros would remain 'in the drawer' awaiting destination. The data has been assessed by García.
"It is clear that this government lacks a project for Cartagena, that Castejón is allowed to do it and that Arroyo, with Esperanza Nieto as the executing arm and Amoraga as the necessary cooperator, has a single plan: the worse the better." Then, he has deepened in the interests of the PP.
"He only makes political calculations and thinks of rescuing Arroyo with that money, in praising a flat image and patronizing with a shower of millions." "What does it matter that this implies closures, a dirtier, more insecure city, without maintenance and without works," said the MC Cartagena councilor. Subsequently, the decision of the local Executive not to spend the entire budget in the current context has been described by Isabel García as "a political scam.
Later they will sell social care, but today they help to worsen the situation of hoteliers, merchants, freelancers and all Cartagena ". "When we need committed leaders, they only serve themselves.
And MC does not say so, their numbers say it," concluded the Cartagena mayor. Without spending on maintenance or investments The chapters in which there is greater liquidity and are obstinate not to spend are particularly striking.
Thus, in Chapter 2, the one related to current expenses, 46.88% has been executed, so it remains to be spent 48,304,643.22 euros, which has not been used in road maintenance, lighting improvement or care of the gardens. An example of the above is also chapter 6 (investments).
Only 15.78% have been executed, that is, 3,607,285 euros, leaving almost 20 million euros pending expenditure, paradoxically, in the year that was announced as the one with the most investments in recent years.
