In addition, they lament that the Popular Party blatantly licks to the lorquinos when assuring that they will freeze taxes when the reality is that they continue squeezing the pocket of the citizens of Lorca, raising taxes and refusing to lower the receipt of the contribution
The second deputy spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Isidro Abellán has announced that they will vote against the tax ordinances proposed by the Popular Party for 2018 because they are ordinances "with which the PP refuses to lower the very high tax burden they bear the Lorca for years. "
Abellán says that this vote against will be accompanied by a battery of progressive measures "against a fiscal policy, that of the PP, retrograde and conservative, and that represents a project completely exhausted."
Abellán regrets that during the announcement made by the councilman of Economy and Finance of the PP "they once again deceived the Lorca", assuring that the taxes are frozen "when the reality is that they continue to raise taxes and continue to tighten the pockets of the lorquinos with a totally disproportionate fiscal pressure ".
Socialists say that "the only thing the PP keeps frozen are his ideas and his desire to work for Lorca."
The new fiscal ordinances of the PP show a rise of 5% in many rates and public prices.
Among others, fees increase for issuance of administrative documents;
some 5% increase in rates for the provision of urban services, or 5% the public prices of the Municipal School of Music and the Popular University.
In addition, the new ordinances show that the PP "refuses to lower the receipt of the contribution," ignoring the petition that the PSOE made a few weeks ago.
Abellán said that "the current Mayor knows that there is a route for an IBI downhill in Lorca but he is waiting for the elections to be implemented", so it is clear that the current government team "the only thing you think is in their political interest, and not in improving the pocket of the Lorca ".
New blow to the local economy: Lorca loses 9 million euros with the transfer of the solar plant of Almendricos to another municipality
In addition to again deceive the Lorca, in the PP once again demonstrated to citizens "the meaning of the word awkwardness."
The poor management of this City Council and its inability to carry out projects has caused the municipality of Lorca to lose almost 9 million euros, via taxes, after letting go of the opportunity for a macro solar plant to be installed in Almendricos.
Abellán says that the million dollar amount that the PP has let lose "could have served perfectly to lower taxes to Lorca."
Lorca loses a project of more than 237 million euros, in addition to the wealth that would generate, via taxes, for municipal coffers.
The Socialists describe the escape of this company to the municipality of Puerto Lumbreras as "another blow" against the local economy.
Abellán says that this disastrous management is the result of a government team "exhausted", and the expected in a party that, first, governs in Lorca thanks to the absolute majority that they obtained in the courts, and also, with a Mayor which, remember, "was not voted to be Mayor" so the Mayor "comes great."
