The current management of Limusa shows again its lack of transparency in the management of the company, failing to contemplate in its annual budget the necessary items to undertake the works of the third vessel, valued at more than 6 million euros, nor the Construction of the new logistics center, planned for 2 million euros
The PSOE Spokesman in the City of Lorca, and a member of the Limusa Board of Directors, Diego José Mateos voted against Limusa's annual budgets for 2017 at the meeting of the management body held on the 5th. Refused to approve these accounts because "it was not contemplated the necessary items to undertake the construction of the third vessel or cell to deposit waste, valued at more than 6 million euros, nor the construction of the new logistics center for approximately 2 millions of euros".
Mateos assures that "it is not a symptom of transparency and clarity" in the economic management of this municipal company the fact that "the large investments that will be made by Limusa in 2017 are not included in the budget, nor is it simply reflected Through mere indications and personal opinions of what it might cost, "but without reflecting it, insists, in any budget line in a clear and duly justified.
Mateos has denounced that during the last Board of Directors "it was not clear how to finance such investments", because, he says "the management of Limusa has not yet defined whether these works will be financed through a bank loan, With own funds or by a combination of both ways of financing ".
The socialist official said that this is a further indication of the opacity and lack of transparency of the current municipal company management, to the Board of Directors, and therefore to the citizenry, insisting that "it is intolerable That these investments, which account for 75% of the total budget for 2017 and which will surely mark the viability of LIMUSA in the coming years, will not appear in detail in the budget economic document, basic of any public entity, such as The annual budget ".
"These planned investments, initially amounting to a total of EUR 8 million, ie more than 1.3 billion of the old pesetas, will be carried out without any involvement of the opposition groups and thus putting difficulties in control And transparency, "says Mateos.
For all this, Mateos again requests, as it did in the last Ordinary Plenum, to define the delegated powers in Management and that the Board of Directors has participation in important decisions that may affect the viability and future of LIMUSA, "and not as now insisted that we are only present to make known the decisions already taken and without too many details, which hinders our work of monitoring and control."
