For the Municipal Group of United Left-Greens in the city of Puerto Lumbreras, the Popular Party has approved budgets pending economic resources come from other government aid to cover emergency works and continue repairing the damage caused by the floods last September 28, and a law on local government to "undress" to councils, so we are not facing a fiscal "real" for this year, but "transition" to more cuts.
Reference is made to the conclusion there is no provision of new credit operations, otherwise logical thing considering that a few months ago that had a credit transaction very close to 8 million euros, for the regulated provider payment in Royal Decree 4/2012, bringing the total debt to financial institutions including 13.5 million credit operations carried out following the RDL 4/2012, which is the largest bank borrowings of history Puerto Lumbreras, and is the interest rate in the latter case you will need to be addressed very unfavorable when compared with other financial operations and will have to pay around 3 million euros of interest, at the end of depreciation.
To this we must add other debts that keeps this council with utilities such as street cleaning business and urban solid waste collection CESPA.
As investments are reduced to the minimum amount of ascending to approximately 650,000 euros, all for emergency works required following the floods last September and the script is being repeated this scenario very similar to previous years, already been warned by our political, as the remaining investments are planned for the coming years (period 2013/2016) covering projects from previous years, but it has not been possible to complete due to lack of liquidity of the CCAA or for breach of its commitments, we have examples Folk Museum and Center "Virgen del Rosario" Young Art Center, the expansion of the City or the restoration Nogalte Castle.
As for the expenditure items in basic public services budget does not appear for the "plan of works and services" and "housing" and "roads" suffer significant reductions in the provision for maintenance repair and maintenance, with the departure for the "garbage collection service and waste" insufficient to ensure quality service.
In the resources allocated to social protection and promotion is a substantial reduction in the "attention to victims of gender violence" that goes from 50,000 to 15,000 euros.
In public goods substance is a reduction in the provision for the "design of schools."
And in the area of ​​economic performances of the line to "agriculture" is a significant drop, when compared to the importance of the sector in the municipality and the money allocated to "trade" will not solve the problems of the same.
Moreover investments are not "roads" and heading for maintenance and upkeep of "roads" are halved.
Moreover IU-Greens government team moved to concern about the significant changes that will occur in the Basic Law on Local Government, if finally approved under the terms of the draft that is known and that especially affect the municipalities of less than 20,000 inhabitants, as is the case of Puerto Lumbreras, since this is a reform that competency undress corporations with fewer people, and thus affect the sources of funding and their ability to spend.
Finally the political formation was disappointed, as it did in the previous year, because in the PG 2013 will not set any reference or starting to promote recovery or maintenance of Parador de Turismo, once the decision has been taken on decommissioning.
