Municipal spokeswoman, Kitty Lawrence, said that "despite the fact that the municipalities are going through a difficult situation in which we feel abandoned by the Central Government, we believe that we must stand by our citizens and be aware of the dramatic situation many families are going through. "

The municipal council spokesman Eagles, Kitty Lawrence, reported in a press conference held during the morning, in the consistory aguileño that "the municipal government has frozen taxes for next year."

The tax charges, dependent on local government, which will not be charged any rise in 2010 are: Real and Personal Property Tax (IBI), Tax Motor Vehicle (IVTM), Goodwill, Business Tax (IAE) and the Tax Facilities, Buildings and Works (ICO).

On the latter is worth noting that not only does not increase, but will apply a discount of 50% to the construction of subsidized housing (VPO).

During the meeting with the media, has also been reported that, of the 14 municipal taxes, only 3 will suffer change: The use of swimming pool, sports facilities and other similar services in the Municipal Sports Centre, by retired lowering a 76'50%, as the fee for visits to museums, which fell by 84'64%, and even free for ages 4 years and school visits.

The only rate that results in an increase of 8% is the collection of garbage at home, resulting in an increase of 56 cents in the corresponding monthly bill.

This adjustment serves the whole agreement, reached last July 14, with votes for the PP, IU + Greens, MASD and Board and with the abstention of the PSOE, which amended the Public Service Management home collection waste and that has led to the addition of 12 new workers in the service.

The city spokesman said that "despite the fact that the municipalities are going through a difficult situation in which we feel abandoned by the Central Government, we believe that we must stand by our citizens and be aware of the dramatic situation being experienced by many families ".

On the issue of taxes and because of the motion presented by the Popular Party to the Plenary Meeting, held on Tuesday, in calling to urge the Government headed by Mr. Rodriguez Zapatero to withdraw immediately the projected rise tax for 2010, Lorenzo Cati regretted that the leftist parties with municipal representation (PSOE and IU) did not vote in favor of this motion, thereby demonstrating "who put their political ideology to the general interest of citizens."

For Lorenzo, unlike previous years, in which the various local, regional and central, carried out the increases necessary for the normal conduct of their duties "this year we can not ignore the serious crisis we are facing and we are obliged to be next to those most in need, not looking the other way with the unfair tax hike planned by the Government of Spain, which will fall mainly on the middle class and workers. "

Finally, the city spokesman was keen to stress that "for the second consecutive year, the City of Eagle has also re-freeze the salaries of all municipal politicians."
