The mayor of Cartagena, Jose Lopez, along with the Councillor of Finance, Isabel García, today held a meeting Monday in Murcia with the Minister of Finance and Public Administration, Andrés Carrillo, to discuss the budgets of the Autonomous Community and put reveal what, according to Lopez, we consider a budget mistreating the District of Cartagena.
The mayor of Cartagena, who claimed that these assumptions marginalize us for years on a recurring basis, has offered counselor to launch a Joint Commission between City Hall and Council, to go hand in hand and, from the consensus and agreement, study the situation and find a solution to this conflict.
Examples that has Jose Lopez of that prespuestario abuse, noted the investment chapter of the last budgets, where the figure of 41 million euros for the city of Murcia is collected, while for Cartagena there are only 135,000 euros, the disparity and the favorable treatment of capital to the detriment of the rest of the region is bleeding and we believe we can not continue.
For its part, the counselor, who does not share the existence of such mistreatment Cartagena, has shown supredisposición the dialogue offered by Mayor Jose Lopez, and work on next year's budget with a global vision, since it is not comarcalizable, and giving priority basic services such as health or education.
