The City of Cartagena reported a few days ago that may allocate "several million euros" to financially sustainable investments, once the Decree Law is approved to prevent the surplus of 2017 has to be earmarked for debt repayment.
In the statement, they assured that the 2017 surplus in Cartagena is just over 13 million euros, of which five will be used to pay invoices that were charged in January 2018. Of the remaining 8.4 million, " part will be used to pay the debt and another part may be invested. "
Citizens recalled that this will be possible because, at last, Finance Minister Cristóbal Montoro accepted that local corporations can use the surplus for 2017, this year's and the 2019 surplus for new investments, something that until now has prohibited called the Law of Rationalization and Sustainability of the Local Administration that imposes a cap of public deficit, another of debt and, finally, a rule that establishes a ceiling of expenditure.
