Despite the fact that the mayor of the Socialists has known about the problem since last July, he has not met the special accounts committee, nor has he explained the matter to the Board of Spokesmen, nor has he requested any document from the economic area to foresee the consequences.
The technical services of the City Council of Lorca will prepare a detailed report on the impact that the return of the 9.5 million euros that the Iberdrola company claims from the Municipal Council would have on the municipal coffers, thanks to the commitment started by the initiative of the Elevated Popular Party through a motion in plenary yesterday.
We want Lorca to know what is happening, because a problem of this magnitude, which could mortgage generations of Lorca as happened with the trap town planning agreements of the PSOE, cannot be hidden from the people.
We are going to continue working so that this City Council proceeds to immobilize these 9.5 million euros.
For now, our work has made it possible for political groups and social agents to become aware of the situation, and they have conveyed their concern to such events, considering that an adequate response must be offered.
We fully agree in this regard, and underline that the problem deserves great caution.
What nobody understands is how it is possible that the current mayor continues to pretend that nothing is happening here with the very serious problem we have in the making.
If Mr.
Mateos acted with the responsibility and seriousness that this matter requires, he would have been the one who requested the preparation of this report, in fact, it is unacceptable that at this point we still do not have a document that warns of the consequences it would have on the municipal coffers.
What you are doing in a recklessness Rosa María Medina recalled that the return of the 9.5 million euros that Iberdrola claims from the Lorca City Council "would entail, among other direct consequences," the imposition of a severe Economic-Financial Intervention Plan against the municipal coffers, which it would translate into more tax and fee increases for Lorca, who are the ones who would actually end up paying "the recklessness committed by the current mayor, who has already spent the money that remained reserved in the municipal coffers while the Popular Party governed." What "we Lorca cannot afford is to find ourselves again the same problems that existed in 2007 when we close the current parenthesis.
That is why we have to act as soon as possible.
Lorca does not deserve that the politicians who govern us repeat the serious mistakes of the past We do not want another blow like that of the trap urban agreements, approved alone by the PSOE in 2005, and that today, 16 years later, we are still paying.
The city council has a sword of Damocles on top that can fall at any moment, and "no measure has been taken to foresee such destruction.
It is absurd that Mr.
Mateos would propose the adoption of any agreement related to the City Council's economy if he does not reserve and the 9.5 million euros that we can lose, neither fiscal ordinances, nor budgets.
The current mayor knew this since July and continues to do nothing, it is an economic suicide ".
It is frivolous that despite knowing since July that he could not spend these 9.5 million euros, they have been struck down on such important issues as buying cars for an amount of 800,000 euros, rescuing Limusa after ruining it for 500,000 euros, and so on.
up to five million euros of spending in less than a year ".
Contrary to what Mr.
Mateos has done, Fulgencio Gil made the decision not to make use of that money, and thus announced it to Lorca in February 2019, "the money of the sentence that is equivalent to 11.5 per One hundred of the budget will remain in the municipal coffers until there is a final judgment.
No expense items will be generated from that item.
" Thus, this amount remained intact in the Municipal Treasury, which had 12 million euros thanks to the management of Fulgencio Gil, as well as 6.5 million euros of annual surplus.
