Garbage, cleaning and lighting services increase by more than 500,000 euros when they are fixed outsourced contracts

"Either the PSOE has lost its sensibility for people in need or in 2019 they increased the game in electoral key, why it is not logical that they reduce it by more than 175,000 euros"

The plenary session of the City Council of Águilas has approved today, with the votes against all the political parties in the opposition and the overwhelming majority of the socialist government, the municipal budget for 2020, "year in which the consistory bet will not be seen by the productive sectors and in which the fiscal pressure will be increased to the citizens ", has advanced the popular mayor, José García.

"The budget includes the forecast of increased revenue in the municipal tax item by more than 670,000 euros, so the mayor must explain what are the taxes that will rise this year," as indicated by the mayor, who has clarified that "despite having approved an initiative of the PP to reduce the rustic IBI to support the productive sectors to generate employment, astonishingly rise € 370,000, as well as income from capital gains."

On the other hand, the Socialist Government has approved a budget that foresees a rise in current expenditure of more than 900,000 euros, mainly generated by an increase in social welfare, electricity, waste and cleaning (550.00 euros), being outsourced by what " it is not understood how they increase, "Garcia said, adding that" although at the beginning of the year from the mayor's office it was assured that the cost of public lighting would be reduced by more than 60 percent, in 2020 an increase is expected, so it is clear that the promise is not being fulfilled.

Likewise, the expenditure directed to social protection and promotion is reduced by more than 175,000 euros;

less social assistance and less commitment to the promotion of employment, specifically "social guarantee courses" have been "abolished at a stroke," said the "popular" who stressed that "or the PSOE has lost its sensitivity to people in need or in 2019 they increased the game in electoral key ".

The PP believes that for Aguilas, with the enormous business and tourism potential it has, it is not logical that the City Council does not bet on the productive sectors, when they are the engine that drives the social economy.

In fact, as indicated by the mayor, the Socialist Government, despite the fact that there is a "certain slowdown in the economy with the downward forecast of construction tax revenues of more than 130,000 euros", does not bet on the sectors industrial de facto collects the decrease of items as for the conservation of the polygon, 10,000 euros less;

for trade, 4,000 euros less;

or tourism promotion at 16,000 euros less.

However, the mayor has indicated that "the fiscal pressure and the decrease of the budgetary items destined to improve the local economy" are the two points that will mark this 2020, which does see increased the chapter to the remuneration of the high positions by what It has already been made clear in the budget that this item is estimated to increase.

"With these budgets, the one who really loses is Águilas, and if all the opposition groups had been given more than 24 hours to analyze all the documentation, we would have made an amendment to the totality in which more real budgets would have been translated and adapted to the needs of the municipality "said García.
