The city municipal corporation has today approved the Municipal Budget for 2014, amounting to 191 million euros in expenses and 194 million in revenue, after a long discussion of partial and full amendments tabled by the opposition, in which none municipal groups has changed its position on the fact that showed the finance committee.

What the Councillor for Finance Suanzes Fatima, is a budget that, despite its austerity, will maintain investment in infrastructure, both in the city center and in districts and councils, as well as services to citizens and coverage of social programs, thanks to the surplus of 3 million euros expected, was seen very differently by the spokesmen of the opposition groups.

For Charity Rives, Socialist spokesman, this is a false assumption based on a false surplus also because it is supported by objective difficult to enforce, as the sale of lots in the Old Town Company, which already failed in the past, or to be collecting more fines.

The IU-Greens spokesman, Jaime Moltó Cayetano, has stressed, meanwhile, that the government team has failed to establish budget priorities, and instead of looking at the concerns of citizens, such as the crisis or unemployed, give priority to a case scenario of brilliance in his first goal and tackle the debt interest and the second, the wage freeze and job, focusing on the suffering of society.

As Citizens Movement, his spokesman, Jose Lopez, missing consensus manifested cast and transparency in these municipal budgets described as caricature, whose objective is to meet the adjustment plans to cut spending on services to citizens and mistreating Cartagena.

According to Fatima Suanzes, moving and making loans and good management to raise funds, not only from other administrations but when these fail, we also seek money in the private sector to continue making investments, is the case of the agreement with Repsol for excavations in the Roman Forum, in addition to maintaining social spending and employment programs.

For Councillor, thanks to investments they criticize, like the Auditorium, has got boost the economy of the city, as evidenced by the 112 centers that have been made ​​and brought to Cartagena 35,000 visitors who use and buy in bars and shops in the city.

Finally, they have not prospered either amendments to all submitted by PSOE, IU-Greens and Citizen Movement or partial UI, or who submitted the three opposition groups together, centered on the Federation of Neighborhood Associations, for review and increase its budgetary allocation at 25,000 euros.

Suanzes has argued in this regard that the municipal government has always collaborated with the Federation, which even gave its current location, so to say that we take money to defend anti-government positions is not fair.

You will receive 20,000 euros, making more money the organization receives from the municipality.
