"We know it is coming, and we have to be prepared."
It is time to anticipate from municipalism because we have enough time
It's about being prevented, not falling into catastrophism and offering a response as a closer administration
The Speaker of the Popular Party in the City of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has proposed the development of a Municipal Intervention Plan that protects Lorca's families from the consequences of the economic slowdown ratified by multiple economic indicators, both of public entities and companies and independent groups.
During the last weeks we have had contact with managers of several credit institutions, and their diagnosis is the same that we have been observing by economic analysts around the world: a crisis is coming, and it will affect citizens.
Fulgencio Gil has indicated that it is about being prevented and prepared, fleeing from any kind of catastrophism, but we must be responsible and aware of the economic situation.
In fact, the president of the government, Pedro Sánchez, began to recognize him at the beginning of October, when he literally admitted that "there is a risk of economic crisis."
The leader of the PP of Lorca has stated that we extend our hand to all municipal political groups, because we want this matter to be outside the sphere of confrontation.
We have an excellent opportunity to set an example, to work together, to prepare a document and a battery of actions from the municipal sphere that allows Lorca to know that Lorca is ready, while we offer our businessmen and entrepreneurs solid arguments to follow betting on our municipality.
Fulgencio Gil has stressed that we, in the Popular Party, have experience of public management in this type of situation, and we know perfectly well that the local administration, as an entity closest to the citizen, is the one used by neighbors who have problems to Help them.
That is why we advocate working together from municipalism, all parties, as well as neighborhood groups, neighborhood and business associations, to deal with preventive effects that are already beginning to suffer because of the "slowdown" that is affecting our economy.
Many of the economists no longer speak in terms of possibility, but of certainty, stating that we are on the verge of a new global financial crisis.
As a more tangible example, economists at Bank of America Merryll Lynch (BofAM) made a simulation of what the impact of a slight crisis in the Eurozone would be a few months ago, and their report, focused on public finances, highlighted that Spain would be the most affected country in terms of deficit and public debt within large economies.
Spain is also suffering a slowdown in the pace of its growth.
Unfortunately, tax ordinances do not contemplate anything about it, but we prefer to look ahead because we are in time for the municipal budget to take this reality into account, and even to address an improvement in municipal taxes by 2020 so that they are adapted to socio-economic circumstances. that they are seeing the experts coming, and that it has already begun to show its pernicious effects in numerous economic and labor indicators.
As concrete proposals that we put on the table to be included in the next budgets of the City Council, we consider the establishment of a Social Contingency Fund, provided with an economic allocation of at least two million euros, that can be used to help those who begin to need public help.
We point out precisely this figure because it is the savings that the City Council will have thanks to the economic work carried out from the PP, and it could also be increasing with other municipal revenues such as the specific case of the more than 8 million euros that the Municipal Consistory goes to receive thanks to the sentence that was won to an electric company.
These statements have been made by the leader of the PP in Lorca during a work breakfast with Lorca entrepreneurs in which the Regional Government Company advisor, Javier Celdrán, and the Lorca candidate to the Congress of Deputies, Antonia, have also been present Lopez
