"Now we find that more than € 90,000 from the Contingency Fund will be used to contribute 20% that corresponds to the City Council, of a subsidy received from the Integrated Sustainable Urban Development Operational Program 2014-2020 EDUSI" something planned since 2018 , has related Sánchez, who has pointed out that "specifically for the improvement of accessibility and equipment for urban mobility, of a Plan that is still unfinished its drafting by the successful bidder, but that unilaterally the city council is already making decisions". Finally, José García pointed out that "the Popular Party wants to make it very clear that they are not against carrying out actions that make Águilas a sustainable city, adapted to the times and committed to the environment, but we are clear that this is not It is the way to use the money of all citizens, since the Contingency Fund is budgeted for unforeseen actions and this is not the case, that is why we cannot approve the way that the mayor, Mari Carmen Moreno, has had of raising this situation , since we do not know what unforeseen events the future may bring us.
