The Councillor for Finance, Isabel Garcia, reports that the City of Cartagena, as it is known by the citizens, must respond regularly to the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration.

And we must do besides presenting the financial report annually to the Court of Auditors, sticking to the guidelines established in the Adjustment Plan, a series of economic dictates and accounting taxes Consistory from 2011 to 2022, due to the delicate situation municipal finance institution suffering from that time to the present.

In the Information Committee of Finance, on Monday, he realized, both local groups and the Federation of Neighborhood Associations and District of Cartagena, the information sent to the Ministry of Finance on the implementation of the Plan of Adjustment , as of September 30.

It was noted an increase of seventeen million euros in personnel costs in relation to the accounts registered to the same date of 2011, the year used to analyze the degree of compliance of the adjustment plan.

To clarify why these figures, the municipal government wants to make known to the public, in line with the policy of transparency marked by this Executive, the explanations that were announced in the aforementioned Commission, based on a premise that is irrefutable , personal spending has dropped considerably since 2011, and that the City does not replace vacancies due to retirement, which shows that spending has decreased.

The reasons for the increase of seventeen million euros does not correspond, as is obvious, management of current municipal government, but to the accounting work of the own City Council in 2011, for various reasons, it was not updated because , after three quarters of the year (ie, September 30) only had accounted for 40% of personnel costs. Therefore, the reference figures of 2011 do not respond to 75% of spending, just as it has been done this year, but to 40%, which leads to an absolute result from the truth.

Real numbers, going to cost incurred to September 30, irrespective of the date on which it is registered in the accounts reveal that, to September 30, 2015, has achieved a significant reduction in personnel expenses in 5, 37 million euros, thus improving forecast Adjustment Plan, which this reduction amounted to 3.15 million euros.
