Fulgencio Gil: "the elimination of the expenses derived from improper competitions has to be accelerated, since we can not duplicate services and expenses." We are aware that it is a task that requires a dense exercise of work and sharing, but the positive is that for the first time the development of the regulations we need ".
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has valued positively the decision of the Ministry of Economy to work on a new model of local financing, which deals with rigor and seriousness one of the main demands that we have been raising from the Municipal Executive for years. , and that now from the Government of Spain has been put on the table to be able to advance in this sense.
Undoubtedly, this is good news, in addition to the initiatives that have recently been developed to help local authorities.
Fulgencio Gil has stressed that the reform of local financing is a step in the right direction.
Local entities are those that are in permanent direct contact with citizens, and neighbors go directly to the Consistory to demand services and assistance, regardless of whether we are competent or not.
The reality is that we are the administration closest to the citizens and we have to offer them the solutions to the problems they demand.
Making progress in terms of local financing is essential to consolidate our society, since City Councils need to provide us with a stable and secure legal framework that allows us to be supported in economic matters.
The elimination of the expenses derived from the rendering of improper competences has to be accelerated, since we can not be duplicating services and expenses.
We are aware that it is a task that requires a dense exercise of work and sharing, but the positive thing is that for the first time the development of the regulations we need is considered.
The Mayor has anticipated that among the measures that favor Lorca most of those announced by the Ministry highlights the flexibility of the spending ceiling, prioritizing a more efficient figure.
We are talking about an issue that is being valued by the economic team of the City Council to know if it could translate into the release of municipal economic resources that we will allocate, in any case, to the increase in social policies, which are the ones that benefit our citizens.
Fulgencio Gil has also considered the ministerial decision related to the possible investment by the local corporations of the surplus of the Town Councils to be good news.
In this sense the City of Lorca is a real model to follow, since in recent years, in addition to cutting more than 50% of the inherited debt, Lorca have managed to reduce the remaining cash of 14.9 million presented in 2015 to 8.6.
