Contrary to article 17 of the Local Finance Law, which requires that the claims submitted by citizens to tax ordinances be resolved by the Municipal Corporation, the Mayor, Diego Jos Mateos (PSOE) has prevented the 25 councilors to rule on these allegations, replacing that vote with another on a motion of the councilor for the Treasury in which he directly proposed the rejection of citizen claims The councilors of Izquierda Unida-Verdes in the City Council of Lorca, Pedro Sosa and Gloria Mart n, have denounced the violation of the right of participation of neighbors in public affairs, enshrined in article 23 of the Spanish Constitution, in the extraordinary plenary session held this morning. Izquierda Unida-Verdes had encouraged the merchants of the municipality to present allegations to the fiscal ordinance of the IBI in order that the reduction of 75% in this tax would have a beneficial repercussion for the autonomous workers who develop their activity in rented premises.

"We understand that those who literally live off income have a kidney to endure this crisis and that the tax credit has to be passed on to those who risk it to run a business," they said.

However, contravening article 17 of the Local Finance Law, which requires that the claims submitted by citizens to tax ordinances be resolved by the Municipal Corporation, the Mayor, Diego Jos Mateos (PSOE) has prevented That the 25 councilors rule on these allegations, replacing that vote with another on a motion by the councilor for the Treasury in which he proposed the rejection of the citizen claims and definitively approve the tax ordinances which were initially approved a month ago.

To do this, they have used a conveniently "directed" agenda that has been delivered to the councilors at the very beginning of the Plenary. The motion of the Councilor for the Treasury, Isidro Abell n, which is what was finally voted on (not the neighborhood allegations) was shielded in a municipal report that recognizes that the decision adopted by the municipal government team is contrary to the Jurisprudence of the Supreme Court.

In addition, it does not guarantee in any way that the IBI bonus will serve the objective of helping the self-employed to maintain their activity and employment. To achieve their objective, Mateos and Abell n have put pressure on the VOX councilors, warning them that if the allegations of the self-employed were approved, the tax ordinances agreed with the far-right group would “decline” and “will not will come into force ”. For the councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes, Gloria Mart n, Mateos and Abell n have used “tricks and tricks” to coerce the VOX councilors and take advantage of their inexperience to lead them to vote against what they themselves they were supporters, "which was to help the real victims of this crisis." "They have made them believe that if these allegations were approved, everything else that they had agreed with the municipal government team would go to the garbage can, without providing a sad legal report that endorses such nonsense" .

All this –Mart n has explained– with continuous interruptions to the spokespersons of the Municipal Groups, impeding their right to free expression and using demagoguery to make them believe that expressing a criterion contrary to that expressed by the municipal technicians is attack these officials. The mayor said she felt "ashamed" of verifying up to what limits has been reached to curtail the right of residents to defend their interests in their City Council and has lamented "the lack of legal and procedural guarantees" that have been revealed in the development of the session.

“Today a municipal ordinance has been approved contrary to the Law and the Jurisprudence of the Supreme Court, which does not guarantee that the reduction of the IBI will affect the workers who are suffering this crisis, and it has been done with deception, tricks and preventing the right of participation of neighbors and councilors ”, said Mart n, who has described said plenary session“ as a despicable example of bad arts in politics, unheard of in this City Council ”.

"This is the most serious anti-democratic gesture of all I have had the opportunity to witness in plenary session",Mart n has concluded.
