The socialist mayor Alfonso Navarro is alarming imbalance of the municipal budget for 2009 compared to the PP money devoted to current expenditure only (79% of total) and went to real investments that (a meager 8.5% .)
From these figures show, says Navarro, who opened the door of Murcia Town Hall in 2009 cost the not inconsiderable figure of 836,000 euros each day, which means that an amount of EUR 305 million was intended only to cover the running costs ( staff in services, financial expenses and amortization of debt and current transfers).
Only 1 out of 9 euros for investments
In contrast to these high costs, the council stressed the PSOE, the local government spent only 1 euro for every 9 to real investments, EUR 33 million was the amount allocated to equity investments and regular (excluding extraordinary investments for the Plan E.
These 33 million for real investments, says Navarro-pose a low 8.5% of total global budget execution, 386 million euros (excluding also the money transferred by the Government of Spain for the Plan E by 75 million euros).
According to the Socialist councilor, is is still the standard pattern of municipal government "continues to act contrary to common sense as recommended in a situation like the present, bringing the current expenditure, rather than substantially reducing the superfluous and dispensable, and no prioritize investment spending with actions that create wealth and jobs and maintain social spending.
