The Spokesman of the Municipal Group of IU-Greens in the city of Lorca, Jose Garcia Murcia, has strongly criticized the proposed Budget of the City of Lorca 2016 today will be approved in plenary of the Corporation by an absolute majority of the PP .

Before going into the substance of the document, the mayor of IU-V has emphasized that this is no exception in recent years, and things are being passed in the city of Lorca -that the case of financial controls and the general budget of the municipality, with little public debate, without participation of the people of Lorca and its associations, and with just a few days for consideration by opposition groups.

Murcia Garcia urged the Councillor of Finance to enable a regulated procedure for society to participate in this important document and for political groups to raise and defend alternatives to the amendments.

And at the substantive level, the mayor of IU-V argues that these estimates for 2016 are a carbon copy of 2015. Perhaps because the manager has been developing them more aware of their participation as a Senate candidate for the PP accounts all Lorca, and therefore what we are discussing today is nothing more than a "cut and paste" of last year, with the only novelty of exponentially growing debt payment and interest it generates.

However, has criticized Garcia Murcia, it is a debt that must have a high percentage of "hateful" or "illegitimate" but the refusal of the PP to auditing purposes prevents us from knowing and quantify these extremes.

Investments raised in the budget is limited to only two lines of territorial intervention in one of the largest and poorest municipalities of Spain, therefore these accounts left in oblivion most of the territory of Lorca and most of its population.

Beyond that there is not any investment in what should be the essential public policies in a municipality like ours: the employment policies of stimulating the economy and social rescue impoverished families after years of crisis.

Councilman IU-V used a technical report prepared by an expert in public economy in which it is highlighted that the budget does not even exhaust the possibilities of "spending rule", that is, raise investments well below which require that rule, which not only affects the expenditure for the year 2016 but also for subsequent years.

This implies, according to IU-V, which is wasting the best tool that would be available to stimulate the economy Lorca posing expansionary accounts.

Finally, García Murcia argues that these assumptions should be read in conjunction with the tax regulations that were adopted just a few weeks ago and will assume for Lorca fiscal robbery in 2016 with a disproportionate increase in the IBI.

And reading is none other than the City Council ever ask for more Lorca, and increasingly offers less Lorca.
