The spokesperson for the socialists in the municipality, Artemi Artiles, described the economic management of the government group as disastrous. “The economic management in 2021 of the absolute majority of CIUCA has been terrible. At a time when society needs the support of public policies more than ever, the government group of the Mogán city council has been unable to spend a whopping 25.947.007 euros.
This was stated last Friday, March 25, within the control and inspection section of the ordinary plenary session, which included the accounting of the liquidation of the budget of the Mogán City Council for the 2021 financial year.
In his turn for questions and answers, Artiles stated that “it is very serious that they have some 14 million euros left over in chapter 6 of real investments, that is, in the works for the municipality, and it is also serious that in chapter 2 of current expenses, that is, in the item in which essential services are paid for, they have 8 and a half million euros left over”
From Mogan's PSOE we consider it unacceptable in the management of public resources that, in a scenario in which many families are suffering the effects of an unprecedented crisis, they have been unable to spend 130.000 euros of the "mortgage payment aid" items. or aid for the renovation and adaptation of housing” or 340.000 euros from the “social emergency aid” item. It is intolerable that the government group sells as an achievement the provision of 500.000 euros for aid to entrepreneurs and self-employed workers, of which 370.000 euros remained unspent.
In the final part of his speech, our spokesperson stated “” I am going to give you a simple example, so that you can reflect, despite the fact that you have been unable to spend 26 million euros, the budgetary result or surplus of the Mogán City Council for the year 2021 was just over 3 million euros. I leave to your imagination, so that I am not described as a catastrophist, the calculation of what would happen to the financial health of our municipality in the event that they were a little more capable and had not stopped spending a whopping 30 percent of the budget. And yet the finance councilor appears satisfied in informative committees with the settlement of the budget.”
Reproach turn intervention in requests and questions. Allusions to neighborhood spokesperson.
From the PSOE we expressed our discomfort that Bueno reproached us for using 4 minutes to present our initiatives and yet to respond to only one of them the mayor spent 25 minutes giving her speech without the possibility of reply. Likewise, we recorded in the minutes our rejection of accusations being made against a representative of a neighborhood group by the mayor and some demonstrations by this neighbor being reproduced from a mobile phone without him being present to refute Bueno's intervention.
