Statements by the Mayor of Caravaca de la Cruz, Jose Moreno Medina:
"Given the serious economic situation that may result in the City of Caravaca, following the rejection of the opposition to changing the tax rate in the last extraordinary plenary session, which will mean a decrease in expected revenue, more than one million euros, which can cause a serious imbalance in the economic adjustment plan to address the important financial debt carried by the caravaqueño session.
We have inherited a payment plan that requires us to obtain a minimum income to meet financial commitments and, for this reason, we can not lower the level of income.
The change in the tax rate applied to correct the drop in property values, passed last summer, one of the first government to adopt measures to reduce the rate of urban IBI, upon arrival to the office.
What we wanted was that the Caravaca neighbor finally this year, pay a little less and had the first lower taxes for many years.
No new rise, as has been the custom, during all these years of PP government.
The reduction could not be excessive since this first exercise would generate a series of huge imbalances in the municipal treasury and so we set this proposed amendment.
What has been agreed and approved the opposition, in an irresponsible way, it is quite another.
In this new scenario, if we do not meet the Adjustment Plan, the Ministry of Finance may revoke the reduction of assessed values.
The City of Caravaca has a high financial imbalance that must be corrected gradually, and can not force a brutal fall of income.
We know it is very popular to say that it will drop by 17 or 12% taxes, but it is completely irresponsible.
We have come with the determination to solve this huge debt inherited from the previous corporation PP, and I think we're doing their homework.
We have reduced in the draft budget for 2016, which is pending approval, 1.1 million euro of expenditure or so, and we are studying how to get the collection to improve gradually reduce debt.
The decision made by PP, IU and Citizens does not help the stability of the City Council because you have to work with the actual revenues and expenses have, passing through the treasury.
We said in the campaign, and now that we have to approve the budget surplus will be difficult to achieve if revenue decreases, and the opposition knows it.
It's simple, we are forced to cut costs and increase revenue, but when, irresponsibly, a measure of this draft is approved, clearly the aim is not to solve the situation.
We must distinguish between what is budgeted, because necessarily have to cover all tax collection rights that the land, but something else is what actually ends up raising, due to high delinquency rate.
PP spokesman said that left a million euros in surplus cash count and three million when we got to the government last June, but an hour later of that tonnage, the former mayor signed a resolution to pay outstanding debts by almost 1.8 million in bills.
Therefore, they left 3 million in cash left less than half, because he committed the obligation to pay immediately we had to meet.
Finally, I regret that all these maneuvers that aim to distort the reality of the municipal accounts, all you get is to confuse and discredit the noble view that may have caravaqueños of those who represent them. "
