The Municipal Socialist Group today criticized the government team, the PP, "his enormous irresponsibility to not even present the draft of Budgets 2018, so one year it is again late and this is nothing more than a clear reflection of his inability to govern the municipality, "said the socialist spokeswoman, Susana Hernández.

He also stated that "the PP is forgetting that it does not have a majority and that it can not pass the roll as it has been doing in the previous legislatures and it also forgets that it has to negotiate budgets, reach agreements with groups of the opposition, and this process can not be dispatched in three hours. "

Therefore, the Socialist spokeswoman believes that "the fact that Mayor Ballesta and his team has not taken a single step towards the presentation and approval of the 2018 Budgets is a failure of functions, the result of inefficiency and inability."

In addition, "the Socialist Group has given a great example of responsibility by making a huge effort to sit down and study and negotiate with our proposals the 2017 Budget in order to unblock them." However, now the mayor will try to make us responsible for the neglect of the PP to reach an agreement on the new draft, "he added.

Hernandez recalled that the Law on Local Taxes establishes that the budgets of the following fiscal year must be completed by December 31 and "we are already late, very late".

"To meet deadlines and avoid unnecessary delays that end up damaging neighbors, in September the municipal services must present their forecasts and the PP should have initiated contacts to seek agreements in October, however, we know that in December will be the draft, so it has been established to start the year with the budget extended, "he explained.

He also pointed out that "the fact that the 2017 Budgets were approved last July should be assumed as something exceptional, not as usual, so we will not allow the PP to become a custom".
