The Councilor of the Treasury says that "it is a pity that the Popular Party does not have people in its group sufficiently prepared to read, interpret and understand a municipal budget"
The Councilor of Finance of the City of Lorca, Isidro Abellán, has asked the Popular Party "to read the data well, not to lie to their neighbors and to verify that they are valuing the budgets of Lorca because the data they are offering is not correspond to the project presented by this Government Team ".
Abellán explained that "Mr. Gil is lying shamelessly, he talks about the cynicism budget when the only cynics have been the members of a Popular Party whose years of government have been based on cuts, cuts and more cuts."
The Edil said that "it seems incredible that the popular spokesman has the nerve to talk about fines when this budget collects less income through this type of sanctions that collected in 2019, the year budgeted by the PP."
"Yes, we are going to increase the collection in traffic fines but not with a collection effort, unlike during the years of the Popular Party government. What we are going to do is fine for reasons of citizen security and pedagogy because this year, the Police Local will launch, thanks to the acquisition to be made by this Government Team, the 'drogotest', devices that detect the presence of narcotic substances in the body and that in the different cities where it has already been launched they have proven efficient since they are a commitment to the prevention of consumption, "said Abellán.
The Councilor of Finance has stressed that "they make statements that have neither feet nor head and that denote the lack of preparation when interpreting a budget. For example, they say that in our forecasts they are fictitious with regard to obtaining benefits for value of 200,000 euros, and we must explain that they are not benefits but that they are income that will come true thanks to the direct management of the concerts and the different celebrations of the Fair, because it will be the City Council itself that manages the box office and not foreign companies will be hired that take a benefit that should be reversed in the pocket of Lorca. "
"What they have forgotten to say is that this flat budget, as they qualify it, is born ballasted by almost one and a half million euros in invoices that we have to face for expenses incurred before the arrival of this team to the City Council Government In the event that the previous government had been responsible and loyal and had not spent with an electoral desire over its possibilities, we would have allocated that money to increase services reviled by the Popular Party and that once we solve their mistakes we will allocate allocations for its improvement, "said Isidro Abellán.
The Councilor explained that "in terms of environmental issues, what we are going to do is bet on the care and respect of the environment, a heritage that belongs to everyone and where we have been able to verify serious deficiencies in legislative regulations."
Isidro Abellán has asked "that the data be read well, that they do not lie, that we are facing a more expansive budget because spending increases by almost one million euros and in which subsidies to social associations are increased."
"In addition, in the Citizen Participation chapter, the amounts are tripled with respect to the previous ones, in fact we will start up the Participatory budgets, another expression of democracy for our neighbors and something that the PP has never believed."
The Mayor of the Treasury says that "it is a pity that the Popular Party does not have people in its group sufficiently prepared to read, interpret and understand a municipal budget since the basic premise of a budget is based on forecasts, in this case realistic forecasts and not the surreal forecasts to which we were accustomed and deceived to Lorca and Lorca and that were never carried out. "
Isidro Abellán has been satisfied "because, although they have not been able to interpret it, that the Popular Party does not agree with our budget project means that Lorca is finally going to get that waiting change that our neighbors have been waiting for so long" .
