| And thunders the surplus, wasting 5 million euros in less than 18 months | The current local government destroys the savings that existed in the town hall at a "runaway" rate of 278,000 euros per month, and has to rescue Limusa from economic ruin with an extraordinary injection of 500,000 euros, to be paid by Lorca The general secretary of the Popular Party of Lorca, Rosa María Medina, has reported that the current mayor has already spent practically all of the savings found in the municipal coffers, which amounted to 6.5 million euros.
Mr.
Mateos has melted in 18 months almost 5 million euros of the surplus that we left him, does anyone explain what this money has been spent on? Because the streets are dirtier than ever, services have been cut, they are Saving all the money for parties, culture and festivities, the Local Police have been withdrawn from the districts and the works that are done in the municipality are being carried out by the regional government of the PP.
The outlook is very worrying, and it raises alarms, because it inherited a 6.5 million euro surplus, and in 18 months it has already "melted" almost completely. Medina Mínguez has stated that spending has skyrocketed.
Most of it is not used to improve services or to invest in important actions, but the money is "burned" to cover day-to-day needs.
This also has absolutely nothing to do with possible expenses derived from the Covid-19 crisis, for everyone to be very clear about it.
As things are being done in economic matters, the city council returns to the path of spending without control or measure that led to its bankruptcy in 2007. In less than a month, the plenary session has approved two budgetary modifications that amount to 4,168,500, this can be clearly seen by those who access the municipal website, the transparency portal. They are also charging the money available in the City Council Treasury, which has already been cut from 12 million euros to approximately 7, and what remains corresponds to the money provisionally entered by the judgment of the trial against Iberdrola.
This way of wasting money also comes when the city council had more money than ever but less expenses than ever. Mr.
Mateos has modified the city council's budget 24 times, and on Monday he wants to modify it again, that is, he has changed the budget more times than he has been governing for months, which confirms that he lacks a project for Lorca and is improvising all the time .
This is an unsustainable chaos, which requires the reflection of all municipal political groups, especially those that facilitated their inauguration despite being the loser of the elections.
Obviously, we are not going to be complicit in Mr.
Mateos' economic waste. Half a million euros to "rescue" Limusa. The PSOE is also charging Limusa.
The municipal company, which was an example of management, and came to contribute up to 1.7 million euros to the municipal accounts, is financially devastated, with an unknown spending rate, to such an extent that until last August it was already accumulating losses of 520,000 euros, which will have to come out of the pocket of Lorca.
We will have to be very attentive to know how much these red numbers amount to at the end of the year, but, for now, we can announce that next Monday we Lorca will have to inject 500,000 euros into the company so that it can continue to operate. From the PP we have been denouncing what was happening in Limusa for months, but we must admit that we could not imagine that Mr.
Mateos would lead the company to such a disastrous situation because of the total absence of interest and political management.
They thought that Limusa was going to be their "toy", but since they have not been able to force their control, they have left her to her fate.
