Municipal plenary has approved an emergency basis to take effect next June 1, lower salaries of the Mayor, Councillors and staff confidence.

Thus, as explained by the Mayor, Miguel Ángel Cámara, "With this agreement we adapt to the guidelines passed in the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces for all municipalities that they represent a reduction of wages by between 5% and 10% of both elected officials as employment-specifically, the Mayor by 10%, the council delegates-time 9%, full-time council members and council delegates part-time 7% and Council Members Part-time 5% -. You can apply the measures adopted in the royal decree of the central Government to government officials.

Chamber added that "we have to reiterate again the commitment of the municipalities to work with all of Spanish society to overcome the economic and institutional crisis. But we want to do it through dialogue and consensus. We are ready to provide everything in our hands but we must remember that great pagan city councils are the bad policy of the Government of the Nation. "

The mayor has also stated that "the municipalities spent two years suffering cuts, which exceeded 7,000 million euros in revenues that come from transfers from the State. We bring the least in percentage terms this financial imbalance: as only half a point in the government deficit is due to more than 8,400 Spanish municipalities. "

"When it comes to debt should be remembered that the municipalities accounted for 7% of the total debt of the government. Those who cooperate in this more general government deficit is, first and very important, the central government and then the regions. Therefore, the commitment to cost containment and maintenance of social spending we are keeping the municipalities with very significant cuts in income but making great efforts to maintain the services needed by citizens, they are pretty bad now going to see that we cut services in the municipalities.
