Economic Affairs spokesman of the PSOE in Lorca, Isidro Abellán, recalled that the VAT hike is "a small effort of solidarity that is worth thinking about the more than 7,500 Lorca who are currently unemployed, among other things by the ineffectiveness of the government team in Lorca PP is not able to generate employment in the municipality. "

Economic Affairs spokesman of the PSOE, Isidro Abellán, berated the council of finance to waste time "by pandering on VAT," while we are in March and has not even produced a single draft for the 2010 municipal budget.

VAT, Abellán dismounted Ibarra data ensuring that the expected increase of 2% from July repercussions in thousand euros in the pocket of a Lorca, as mayor of Finance says, "" every citizen should consume 50,000 euros this year. "

In this regard, the Socialist leader said that "probably Ibarra consumer can afford that, but for the vast majority of Lorca that amount is more than they earn each year."

Abellán reminded that VAT affecting staple food, medicines, books or housing units "will not go up."

Regarding the types that do will, the Socialist councilor also reminded that this is a small effort of citizens "that will allow more revenue to meet expenditure on social protection, ie, pensions and unemployment in these times are a priority. "

As an example, spokesman for Economic Affairs of the Socialist Party said at EUR 45 a shirt, "just pay a few cents more, starting July," which found "a small effort of solidarity that is worth thinking about those Lorca and more than 7,500 that currently are unemployed, among other things, the ineffectiveness of the government team in Lorca PP is not able to generate employment in the municipality. "
