The Lorca will get 8.4 million euros after the court order that obliges Iberdrola to pay the Consistory such amount for taxes, fees and interest for late payment.
The City Council achieves financial autonomy, which will allow new tax reductions.
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has reported that thanks to the economic management that has been developed over the past years by the Municipal Administration, the coffers of all Lorca start Christmas by removing one of the heavier slabs that we were suffering in economic matters, as is the case of the deficit accumulated year after year, called Negative Remainder of Treasury.
This achievement, which constitutes a historical milestone for the municipality, is already a reality by virtue of the judicial order issued by the Administrative Contentious Court n ° 6, which rejects Iberdrola's opposition to the provisional execution of the judgment of last 25 May of this year, and orders that it be carried forward.
This document was officially notified to this City Council yesterday.
The Mayor explained that, in defense of the public interests of the City, this measure is executed with the prudence and respect necessary to the judicial resolution, proceeding to formally claim Iberdrola the income in favor of all Lorca of the amount of 8,431. 759.41 euros, which is derived from the principal amount of the activity license liquidations corresponding to the substation that this company has in the enclaves of Carril and Nogalte, plus the legal and delay interests that have accumulated during this time.
Fulgencio Gil has anticipated that once this money has been deposited in the municipal coffers, it will not be applied to current expenses, no expense items will be generated, but caution will be exercised until the judicial process of this sentence is completely completed, to prevent repeat the serious error of the urban SIDU agreements.
Thus, the economic amount will be reserved by the City Council, and will allow all Lorca several immediate benefits such as ending the Negative Remainder of Treasury, which will have a positive balance for the municipality of 5.5 million, remove us from above the sanitation plans that were limiting the investment capacity of the City Council, and now we can agree to arrange loans for investments in districts and neighborhoods, execution of new projects and even lower taxes.
The First Edil has pointed out that this is a very beneficial news for Lorca, since we suppressed an inherited historic slab, which adds to the extraordinary reduction of the inherited municipal debt, which has passed, after years of spending control and optimization of investments, from 105 million euros to 36 at the end of 2019. In this way we are in a position to affirm that once this operation becomes effective, Lorca will have one of the most sanitized municipalities in the Region of Murcia.
It is a total reversal, which allows Lorca to move from the inherited bankruptcy to an advantageous and positive situation for all.
In fact, the reality is that we open a new stage in economic matters, freeing ourselves from ties and limitations.
For that reason I want to show my most effusive congratulations to the municipal technicians who have completed this work.
We have shown that a management model based on seriousness, austerity, responsibility, efficiency and effectiveness is the best for Lorca.
It should be noted that once issued, the car has cash but not suspensive, that is, the company has to pay the amount indicated to Lorca.
To do this, the City will rotate the relevant settlement and, if they do not pay, the means of constraint is undertaken.
The Councilor for Economy has also reported that the Municipal Economic Commission held an extraordinary meeting this morning to evaluate the benefits of this ruling, and the economic services have decided to already account for this amount administratively in favor of the City Council, since it is of a recognized right and is computed as such.
The direct benefit of this measure is that in the next liquidation of the budget all the indicators will become positive and Lorca will be able to say goodbye to the sanitation plan.
We must remember that this litigation began after requesting the City Council to Iberdrola the payment of the corresponding taxes for the activity license of 2 substations, which the company rejected as not being in accordance with the law, even pointing out that the municipal ordinance does not It was legal.
However, this claim was rejected by the Court.
