Sánchez Mato, currently Professor of Applied Economics at the Complutense University of Madrid, will come to present the last of his books, written together with the economist, Eduardo Garzón, and entitled "919 days If you could!

The IU Spokesman has encouraged the residents of Lorca to attend the act of presenting the book, not only because of the deep knowledge and exhibiting amenity of Sánchez Mato in matters of local economy, but also because the former mayor of Madrid can put us to the people of Lorca at the keys of how to prepare a budget and fiscal ordinances at the service of the people and the progress and development of the people.
Sosa argues that "we are very needy in Lorca for the good economic, fiscal and budgetary experiences of other municipalities in Spain, and, in that sense, Sánchez Mato can give us a lot."
Sosa affirms that Sánchez Mato revolutionized the accounts of the Madrid City Council, reduced "in industrial quantities" the public debt accumulated by the municipal governments of the right;
designed and implemented a fair and supportive tax revenue policy;
considerably reduced late payment in suppliers and small businesses;
uncovered fraudulent contracts signed by the political right with friends and big businessmen;
saved on consumption with a decent, social, environmental and intelligent contracting policy;
Municipalized services privatized by previous corporations saving millions of people in Madrid and offering citizens better services from the public.
Finally, after completely cleaning up the City Council, he wanted to put that healthy economy at the service of citizens and collided with the Minister Montoro of the PP and was definitely removed from his powers by Mayor Manuela Carmena, who never trusted the IU councilors who were part of his team.
