"Once again, as is customary, obstacles are imposed by the government of Ballesta to the management of municipal councils. This time they put last minute obstacles in the award of projects, modifying the usual procedure and paralyzing for a month The investments of the boards. "
This has been denounced on Friday by Socialist Councilor Enrique Ayuso, who has indicated that "this new trip to the management of municipal councils is a new attempt to hinder the good work being carried out by the meetings that are not chaired by the PP ".
Ayuso recalled that, with the entry of new governments into municipal boards, there is a major change in the management of neighborhoods and districts.
"The new governments of change in the boards, governments based on dialogue and consensus, are giving good results in the districts and districts, promoting a closer and responsible policy and finally solving problems that neighbors and neighbors came years Complaining, "explained the Socialist mayor, who has continued insisting that" this good management seems very annoying and much to the government of Ballesta, who no longer knows how to invent to hamper the activity of the boards and their possibilities of carrying out investments Important. "
"Suddenly, in October and without notice, the heads of municipal councils are faced with a change in the project award procedure that paralyzes draft investments for some districts and districts, and this change occurs at the end of the year, when The margin of maneuver of the municipal boards, on the verge of closing the budget of 2016, is minimal. It is now, when few days of the closing of the fiscal year, the pedancies are being informed about the adjudications that have proved to cost less than budgeted And whose difference is again available to the board, but with little time to plan in which to invest, "said the councilman, who also lamented that" the government of Ballesta is pushing the municipal boards to seek, quickly , What to spend - or waste - plus half a million euros if they do not want to lose it ".
"We do not criticize the change of procedure, which seems to us to be appropriate and must be done in search of greater transparency and effectiveness." We criticized the hurry and the moment chosen to do so. Are being caused to municipal boards, "said Ayuso.
The mayor stressed that, compared to eight projects executed in the last year of the previous term, this first year have been executed fifty-five of the two hundred and five presented by the municipal boards.
"With the constitution of the thirty-eight municipal meetings chaired by the opposition political groups in the City of Murcia, work has been increased seven times in order to give a better service to Murcia and Murcia. The demands of the Socialist Group and the other opposition groups, has increased by 40% the budget of the boards and also the human resources destined. "
The Councilor of the Socialist Group has demanded Ballesta and the Councilor for Decentralization, José Guillén, the extension until the nineteenth of December of the deadline to submit outstanding bills in order to be able to have a few more days to spend the budgeted.
He has also called on the PP government to approve a public commitment so that the casualties produced and not spent in 2016 (money budgeted in projects that, finally, are not awarded), are entered into the budget of the corresponding board.
"From the PSOE we also demand that in 2017 municipal boards have their budget from the beginning of the year and do not repeat the situation experienced in 2016, in which the boards have not had money for investments until the month of July "Said Ayuso, who has been convinced that" these measures will allow districts and districts to ensure that their budget money goes to works of interest to their neighbors and not to improvised performances because of the management Of local government.
