The Consistory received the draft of the agreement on November 28.
It is materially impossible to tender, award and execute the works before the end of the year, which is the established date.
In fact, only the period imposed by law to tender the works is extended, in some cases, up to 45 days.
The Councilor for Works and Services in the City of Lorca, Angel Mecca, has reported that the City Council has requested the Government of Spain, through the Ministry of Finance, to extend the term initially established to be able to execute all works included in the subsidy included in the General State Budget (PGE) to finance works and repair services for infrastructures, equipment and services owned by the municipality, damaged by the seismic movements of May 11, 2011.
Ángel Meca explained that the City Council received the draft of the agreement on November 28, and we have told the Ministry that it is necessary to extend the deadline for executing the works, since it is materially impossible to tender, award and execute them before the end of the year. , which is the date initially established.
In fact only the period imposed by law to tender the works is extended, in some cases, 45 days.
Councilman Works has said that we trust in the special sensitivity that is taking by public administrations with issues related to earthquake damage.
We are aware that this is a political decision, which has been allowed in other cases, and we consider that it is also applicable in this, given that it is obvious that it is impossible to execute works for 3 million euros in just a few days.
The Consistory's request is based on the provisions of Article 32 of Law 39/2015 of the Common Administrative Procedure, and states that it is included in the text of the agreement that has to be signed between both administrations the possibility of executing and paying the works until June 30, 2019, the expected date of justification of the proceedings, and in this way the contracting of the works can be initiated as soon as possible.
This amendment complies with the provisions of Article 47.5 of the General Budget Law, since the commitment of expenditure by the State is acquired in 2018, with the signing of the Agreement, being able to recognize the obligation and payment in this same year.
Regarding the criticisms and disqualifications made by the current mayor of Ciudadanos in Lorca, Antonio Meca, the councilman of Works has regretted that we have to attend a new episode of populism and irresponsibility, and explained that the Mayor of Lorca presented this issue yesterday with total clarity in the Commission of Municipal Administration, and requested the support of all the political groups, but when we ask that they give us a hand, some prefer to throw it around our necks, although this is to the detriment of the interests of Lorca.
I should take an example from the PSOE, which we know is trying to help.
