Citizens spokesman Cartagena considered a tremendous relief that the City of Cartagena has finally not to pay VAT on the purchase of San Miguel Building, but "it is worrying that neither the current local government or the PP have wanted to clarify today to citizens if the sales transaction or not to apply VAT ".

The mayor of Cartagena, Jose Lopez, complained to the media shortly before the full City Council in September that the accounts of the Old Town Municipal Company had a hole two million euros for non-payment of part of the VAT on the purchase building San Miguel.

Faced with this public denunciation of the opposition groups (CTSSP-we, citizens, and PP) decided not to approve the national budget (which include the accounts of Casco Antiguo) due to spilled shadows.

Although at that time the same mayor of Cartagena, spoke of "tax fraud" caused the blocking of the general budget, and also agreed to pay VAT missing there or not prescribed "as we believe that we should set an example" as stated in a statement, now, after the announcement of the tax Agency has effectively barred the debt of the City, the mayor of Cartagena and feels no obligation to pay any tax requirements, but on the contrary, now claims to finance the payment made, the 1.7 million euros.

According to the spokesman for Citizens Cartagena, Manuel Padin, "is certainly good news for the City Council do not have to pay VAT, a tremendous relief for the battered public coffers can not stand indents of this type, but embarrasses us and concerned about the image we are giving to the citizens, what are they playing? you are discouraging the tremendous confusion that generated each other, the contradictions of Local Government and the PP about the sales transaction of San Miguel are unprecedented. Begins to be clear (we will not know at all until we have reports of Finance and Management Casco Antiguo) never had to apply VAT to such operation. "

Given these facts, Padín wonders "why the previous PP government paid 1.7 million euros in VAT if it was not necessary? Why the current local government PSOE and Citizen Movement wanted to completely pay and then claim the part that was paid? "

To try to answer these questions spokesman orange training has requested reports on the subject of the tax office and manager's Old Town.

Citizens spokesman hoped that, through the Commission of Inquiry can clarify the facts related, but according Padín, "what we increasingly clear is that both categories have been unable to handle this issue, which it has caused significant damage to public funds, and that the Cartagena deserve better managers at the head of public affairs ".
