● The training believes that the mayor and the councilor of the Treasury have cleared the doubts about the nefarious economic management of the budgets of 2016
● "There is no explanation or self-criticism in management when the budget deficit is compounded by the general budget backlog and approval of the 2017 budget, the lack of transparency on the irregular payment of invoices to suppliers or contract management Of legal advice, "says Orange spokesman Jos Carlos Gomez
The municipal spokesman of Citizens, Jose Carlos Gomez, has lamented the attitude of the PSOE Government team, "who prefers to disqualify the work of opposition groups to provide clear and valid explanations of their management regarding the budget gap of more than 2 Millions of euros suffered by our consistory. "
Gmez made the remarks after the municipal plenary session yesterday, which also regrets "the lack of any hint of self-criticism by the government team to an economic management that makes waters on many fronts."
Regarding the budget gap of 2,095,000 euros between the amount budgeted and approved by the Plenary and the items to which they should have been awarded, Orange spokesperson points out that "Citizens are aware that it is money that has to be paid, but the serious Is that it is not budgeted and continue without telling us the reason for it. "
According to Gmez, "this is a new example of the economic management and the lack of transparency of this government team," and stressed that the opposition "still does not know why the mayor signed a resolution to formalize a loan Of more than 1.7 million without taking it to Plenary, or why the general account for 2016 has not yet been presented, when it should be delivered before March 31 ".
In this regard, Gomez fears that the Treasury withholds amounts destined to the City of its participation in the state taxes due to this "unjustified delay".
Another of the fronts of municipal management that Cs wanted to highlight is the tender for the legal services contract, still without green light and blocked since September 2015, which has caused the lawyer who provides the service has sued the Consistory, and Has asked the mayor what action they are going to take regarding the lawsuit filed against the city council in this regard.
Finally, Gmez referred to the alleged irregular payment of an invoice of 42,000 euros, a matter that could end in the imputation of the first mayor: "Nor has it answered us whether or not there is a contract and why with an average term of payment to suppliers is Of 247 days, this payment was streamlined and came out in less than half the time.
We want to know if the mayor and his team consider if this is not a comparative grievance with the other suppliers and creditors of the Consistory. "
The representative of Citizens thanked the rest of the opposition group -PP and Izquierda Unida- to allow him to act as spokesman in the debate, closing the intervention in plenary on this matter and presenting the conclusions on behalf of both Cs and PP And IU.
