The spokesman for this formation, Pedro Sosa, assures that PSOE and C's are "strong with the weak and weak with the powerful", as is the case with their "star" measure, which lowers the IBI to the rentiers while not thinking about the self-employed .
Sosa regrets that the socio-liberal municipal government feels more comfortable caking with the extreme right than negotiating with IU, who did not facilitate the draft ordinances until yesterday The spokesman for Izquierda Unida-Verdes in the Lorca City Council, Pedro Sosa, today described the fiscal ordinances presented by the social-liberal municipal government of PSOE and C`s as "deeply antisocial".
Sosa has lamented the criticism made by the Councilor for the Treasury, Isidro Abellán, of his training for not having presented amendments to a project "that they did not provide us until yesterday", and has asked him for explanations of why he presumes that VOX has.
done.
"Did Abellán provide the document to this party that has had that advantage?" he wondered, while regretting that the PSOE feels more comfortable "caking" with the extreme right than sitting down to negotiate with the left that made the inauguration of Diego José Mateos possible. Regarding the content of the ordinances, Sosa assured that they are "worse" than those of last year, because they are "strong with the weak and weak with the powerful." In that sense, he recalled that last year IU managed to freeze the public prices of municipal schools and the University "that this year they want to increase 5% when it is possible that we end the year with the CPI in negative." "Raising these prices for families who cannot take their children to private schools and in a context of deep crisis that has reduced their economic capacity, seems unaffordable," he said. In addition, PSOE and C's propose a "brutal increase" in the fees for issuing administrative documents.
For example, a rise of up to 43% for removing a person from the register.
Which means that residents will be discouraged from updating their home registration numbers and, above all, it harms people who are requesting the Minimum Living Income, who are the most vulnerable, and who need to present an updated registry.
But it is that the necessary reports to request social aid, have risen 358% (go from 3.40 euros to 15.60) and it is intended to impose a new rate for the reports of conditions of suitability of homes of 73.50 euros , just double what the Barcelona City Council charges, for example. Sosa announced that his party cannot approve ordinances that threaten the most vulnerable people and families while it does not touch powerful companies. For example, the "star measure" announced by the PSOE and C's government team is a 50% drop in IBI for rentiers, "but not for tenants of premises who get up at six in the morning to open their bar or launch your hairdresser.
" "That does not benefit the self-employed, but the owners of the premises," explained Sosa, who assured that the "height of nonsense" is that they want landlords and tenants to commit themselves through a "private agreement" that the former will use that bonus to lower the rental price to seconds, but "without any of that appearing in the ordinance and with the City Council washing its hands in case of non-compliance with that private agreement." In this regard, Sosa announced that IU will present a proposal to apply the model to other municipalities, "which put black on white that the owner of the premises has to prove that he has made a moratorium or a reduction in rent in favor of the owner of the activity to get that tax break.
" Pedro Sosa has also regretted that the PSOE has failed to comply with the commitments reached with the IU for the 2020 ordinances, to implement new formulas that tax the use of public goods made by powerful companies, such as Amazon, Telefónica, Iberdrola or banks , in order to alleviate the burdens that the neighbors must bear.
"The only thing they propose is to update the rate for the installation of ATMs on public roads, which will affect 5 or 6 and will only mean an extra income of 2,000 euros for the municipal coffers," said Sosa, who criticized the "lack of courage "of the local government. The IU spokesman recalled that some of these measures "are approved in plenary session", so he wondered how we are going to trust them if they try to deceive us over and over again and are not able to comply with the agreements adopted in the highest representative body for citizens? " Finally, Sosa assured that as the exemptions and bonuses that were applied due to the COVID-19 pandemic in some rates and taxes, they remain the same (ICIO, rates for occupation of land for public use with kiosks or tables, chairs and awnings in the case of the hotel industry ...), "the best thing for citizens is that the ordinances remain as they are". However, IU will try to amend them "in a timely manner" by requesting, for example, the freezing of public prices, the application of reductions in the car seal to the vehicles of those companies affected by the economic crisis derived from the coronavirus, and benefits prosecutors to unload the tax burden on families that are experiencing the worst through the pandemic. "We are not gentrified and we are going to work hard to prepare an ambitious document of amendments aimed at redistributive justice being practiced in Lorca and those who have the most pay more," he concluded.
