"It is unfortunate that only the Murcia agreed to raise more money
"The decision, in addition to increases in direct taxes, VAT or light, is even worse to be adopted during the crisis, which, rather than international, it is becoming" Spanish crisis "
The decision of the National Government to increase the rates of the Tajo-Segura by 68% in the water supply is deemed by the Mayor, Miguel Angel House, "a symptom of almost unhealthy fixation with the region."
This increase means that the residents of Murcia once again become the "big losers" in the management of the Central Executive.
In addition to not address the lack of water for the region, maintaining a constant threat on the transfer of the Tagus and charge higher rates in the country, last week the Council of Ministers agreed to further rise in the price history tap water, which will result in an increase of approximately 8% of the price.
Chamber recalls that the decision is adopted in the economic crisis, "when unemployment is a reality in thousands of families, when the difficulties to make ends meet and are multiplied when we have supported increases in the price of electricity, taxes direct, VAT, etc.. "
Crisis "Spanish"
Also, the Mayor complains that the State Budget recently approved involve the "biggest drop in local funding of democracy" and said the government of the Nation "aggravated" the financial situation of municipalities and this remains the necessary resources to provide services to citizens.
A decrease in income from financing model are at 18% but reaching 24% when taking into account the cuts in funding for Plan E.
Given this reality "drama" to the municipal coffers, the Government of the Nation prefers to pretend that nothing happens, "but we all know that by looking the other way does not solve anything."
Rather, the mayor says the economic crisis is becoming less "international" and more "Spanish."
