In the words of Victor Romera, spokesman for IU-Greens in the Municipality of Puerto Lumbreras "with these tax increases and fees in addition to directly affect citizens will be harmed and condition the municipality's economic development in the coming year, damaging the tissue Puerto Lumbreras's business and negatively affecting job creation, as these measures will have a direct impact on sectors such as construction or service sector, which therefore will be more difficult to exit from the crisis, economic recovery and ultimately the job creation. "
The ratio of unpaid bills to suppliers submitting the City of Puerto Lumbreras reaches 6,782,494.65 Euros, which together with the Euros 6,524,910.91 as presented in the 2012 general budget by the corporation, assumes that total debt of our City Council with financial institutions, regardless of interest, will exceed 13 million euros, which puts the council in a very delicate and will make feasible the conclusion of many of the works undertaken or committed and cuts in public services in the future.
