"The mayor of Cartagena, Jose Lopez, has failed to fulfill its promise to reduce by 16% the property tax (IBI) against promised throughout the campaign," as pointed out this morning in the City Council, spokesman Popular Group, Francisco Espejo.

According to Espejo, "Jose Lopez promised to lower property tax 16% the first year and an additional 10% the second. Those cuts would have entailed least 10.7 million euros in 2016 to 5.6 million tax would add less the second year. The savings would pledged about 60 million euros less IBI tax only for the new term. "

"It's only been three months since his promise star has faded, no longer exists. And intended to Cartagena forget who made it," added the popular spokesman.

Mirror has insisted that this reduction was part of the non-negotiable demands Citizens Movement forced to sign the PSOE to form a government, so that non-compliance can only be due to an error in calculation or amazing that it never intended to fulfill that commitment.

The popular spokesman said that "Cartagena has scammed you voted for change in this reduction, but has fooled all Cartagena, have voted him or not, a campaign promise he makes to all citizens, will vote or not. "

Lopez Espejo remembers several statements in which the now mayor demanded that any politician who fails to fulfill his promises should resign.

Note the words of Jose Lopez in an April interview in which he said: "A decent and honest politician has to fulfill its promises or not, have to resign because it can not mislead the sovereign people."

Mirror asks how much is his word and if after breaching a promise this week to Cartagena over 10 million euros thinks resign.

Revenue from property tax in the last year amounted to 66.8 million euros, so that the promises of course discounting Jose Lopez had 10.7 million the first year and 5.6 million the second year;

in total, would drop in two years 16.3 million euros of IBI, or what is the same, he would have fallen a quarter of the main municipal revenue.

In a legislature, the tax reduction which would have been in had pledged 60 million euros, about 10 billion pesetas.
