Herguedas PP accused of breaking his campaign promises to raise the IBI (20/03/2012)

Murcia IU-Green said today at the extraordinary plenary session of the City of Murcia with the rise of Property Tax (IBI), the Popular Party "has not been slow to comply with his own campaign promises to raise taxes and destroy jobs ".

The spokesman for the training at the Guildhall, Esther Herguedas, said he does not believe that the solution of the crisis will further reduce the salaries of public employees, cut "very precarious social rights" or raise taxes "to the usual ".

"All this is done as a private institution like the church is exempt from payment of that tax, the economy and rampant tax evasion remains at shocking levels," he stressed Herguedas.

He asserted that this measure is "a patch for not addressing the underlying issue remains the lack of municipal financing, assuming powers that municipalities are not" a matter that "neither the PSOE nor PP have been willingness to resolve "

It has denounced the democratic deficit is that the House, which is the competent budget can not decide on the 11.5 million that the city plans to raise more to implement the increase of ten percent of IBI .

Faced with the proposed municipal PP "save that money without giving destination", considered that the institutions can not save when there are so many needs to attend to, after asking you if "perhaps save the families."

He has asked that this money is invested in social policy and employment creation, while also insisted that the need to find ways to reclaim the IBI of families at risk of social exclusion and with all members unemployed, "something back to what the group has refused Popular ".

"Redistributing wealth is a constitutional mandate that all public authorities are obliged to comply. Taxes fulfill this function if you pay more than most and is offset to the disadvantaged, but this is not proposed by the PP with this rise, "concluded Herguedas.
