The 2015 municipal budget presented yesterday by the Councillor of Finance shows the end of a political cycle.
The government clearly shows these accounts, which is unable to get ahead Cartagena.
Chapter VI reduction by 18% is a sentence for the future of Cartagena.
The City Council at a time of contraction in economic activity resignation with these accounts, to be the engine of the local economy and therefore cartagener l @ s @ s already know today, which will be without its City Council to encourage job creation in a municipality that has almost 1 in 3 of its people unemployed.
But this express waiver by the PP government team to be the protagonist of the economic recovery, also highlights the disaster management has been suffering this city after 2 decades of PP governments.
The margin of maneuver that has the City is really scarce, so 33, 01% of the budget goes to pay salaries (Chapter I), which together with the 43.50% of the budget goes to current expenditure (Chapter IV) and the enormous municipal debt estimated at 150 million euros (as is clear from the Ministry of Finance), no 124,000,000 as Mrs. Suanzes says., makes this Hall just have resources to invest.
The team has abused Barreiro recruitment by negotiated procedure without advertising throughout the years of rule making major municipal works ended with a huge extra cost.
Moreover the main municipal services are now under suspicion for alleged irregularities as evidenced by the report of the Court of Auditors, not to mention the politics of public employment own a farmhouse that has swollen Chapter I. Since we denounce SPCT the government team of Ms. Barreiro has squandered public money in good times and created a superstructure spending now in a period of economic hardship is weighing municipal management.
SPCT also detects a dangerous game in the low investment chapter, since the only thing you do is move investment items of works should be completed several years ago, giving the appearance of invested something in the town, of course coinciding with the end of the legislature and therefore the election.
The Palacio de Deportes that endless history, has accumulated a delay of years, just about the way Siphon, seafront Grandchildren, Llano's office or the Excavations in the Plaza de la Merced, are promised works budget after budget remain the "Pyrrhic" investment commitment for the year 2015.
Special mention is the position of the Company Casco Antiguo SA, since they have finally recognized to be 22,000,000 euros and there is no possibility that they may be paid by selling the assets of that corporation, and shall therefore be assumed by all Cartagena citizenship.
As incomes policy, the situation is no less alarming.
The Mrs. Councillor speaks to freeze prices, taxes and fees as a success, when the reality is that the purchasing power of Cartagena has declined and there are more cartageneros without any benefit in 2014.
The PP with this budget has waived establish gradual that serious fiscal policy further to which more can, for example supermarkets, multinationals located in our municipality, and the banks that collect empty houses plundered citizens and companies affected by the crisis.
