"The unemployment should be the number one goal of the City, but Lopez and Castejon have forgotten the strike at the first opportunity they have had. They have fallen 20 percent spending on employment policies and have refused to extend benefits the creation of jobs. Their first budgets are not, even remotely, the need Cartagena, "said Diego Ortega, popular deputy spokesman.
Ortega recalled that the Employment Agency just lost hundreds of thousands of euros to train unemployed for mismanagement and the government has been unable to remedy the error by transferring more municipal funds.
"If the government had done their homework, the employment agency would have around a million more than last year, but instead of a million more have half a million less to fight against unemployment and that has no defense."
The spokesman said that the Government could have corrected his mistake in the budget, "they could have, but did not want to. They preferred to spend forces to make excuses and blame others instead of using that time to find solutions and expand the money to training".

Without ideas

Falsehoods in taxes and expenses
The spokesman pointed out that the fall in the expenses of which claims the new government does not respond to a saving, but actually come from the downward revision of the contracts that have been produced automatically by lower CPI .
"They have not downloaded the promised spending, nor have lowered taxes they promised. Only in urban IBI there are half a million more taxes where Lopez promised 8 million less. What he promised six months ago and now want to forget."
Ortega explained that "permanent critique of the state of the municipal coffers is not an excuse to cover your property tax scam. They promised an impossible descent and now hide behind a debt that is actually lower than expected and is by below average in the municipalities of our size. "
Doubts staff
The popular representative in the Commission has asked the government accurate data on the economies generated by retirements and projected expenditures by high.
"The government still refuses to tell us how much they cost to Cartagena all coordinators and directors who have been nominating and it is important to know how the budget assumes"
