It is a question of checking what public money has been spent since the constitution of your municipal group and what is the mechanism of operation that they have followed to manage and channel the subsidy received.
The Councilor for Economy and Finance in the City of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has reported that the Municipal Consistory, as a result of the events that have transpired in the last few hours in different media on the charge of electoral expenses of the Party Citizens Lorca Its municipal subsidy and the management method of the same, has urged the opening of an investigation aimed at exhaustively inspecting what is happening with the public money that this municipal group has been receiving according to what is established in the Law.
Fulgencio Gil has anticipated that this work has already been requested by the Government Team to the corresponding municipal services, given the need to carefully monitor these accounts and have a clear knowledge of the use of the money of the subsidy, being money public.
In reference to the concepts of two bills that Ciudadanos Lorca has paid with money from the municipal subsidy, it is confirmed that it is irregular to pay videos of election campaign or musical performances at rallies, since we are talking about expenses that contravene what is established in current legislation .

Fulgencio Gil has stated that the explanations given so far by Citizens are "very vague, confusing and even contradictory."
The Municipal Consistory is confident that the Municipal Citizens Group does not put obstacles to this investigation, since it is necessary to have the documents that justify the destination of the public money as soon as possible.
Once all the corresponding documentation regarding the method of management of this subsidy has been delivered, in addition to the invoices proving the legality of the expenses incurred, they will be reviewed and audited in order to carry out the necessary actions.
