Socialist Party spokesman in the city of Los Alcazares, Joaquin Menárguez, denounced the irregular shape that has produced the dismissal of 11 workers of the company's integrated water management, 'Aqualia', and fears are not alone.
Menárguez Team believes that the Popular Party government put "in a suspicious manner, and as urgent" an extra point on the agenda of the last municipal Plenum, 2011, held on December 29 at night, "with an order of days in which strangely included ten points, which is unusual, not to give time to discuss all issues, even though they were going to try some as important as the budgets of 2012. "
In the House, said Socialist spokesman, "the PP approved a modification to the contract for the provision of 'Aqualia', which runs the spa and swimming pools, without the government team had been given sufficient information to other council since only four or five hours before we delivered the intervention, and Secretariat reports. "
"The consequences of this modification have been, so far, the dismissal of 11 workers, the closing of the SPA for 9 months and a half years, the suppression of cardiovascular space programs and the use of multiple rooms, reducing the exemptions and discounts to young people and groups, or cutting the hours of the heated pool. All this despite the fact that the Popular Party was committed to not resent these services, "he added.
Menárguez Joaquin explained that the municipal government of the PP seeks a cut of 289,000 euros in the chapter staff for 2012, "which leads us to believe that it will not be sufficient in the dismissal of those 11 workers Aqualia, but, with service cuts in the premises of the dealership, there could be several more dismissals. "
"From the Socialist Municipal Group have filed countless motions, requests and questions, we have even called for a commission of inquiry and have requested technical reports on the degree of compliance with the dealership, for information on what is the real debt is Aqualia with City Council, but have always refused to answer us, "he said Menárguez, who suspects that" this is perfectly planned and coordinated between the concessionaire and the City ".
Victimization as a strategy to raise taxes
In the same session of the 29th it was the approval of the municipal budget for 2012, estimated revenue increase from 13,800,000 euros to 17,500,000 euros.
"That difference is that raising taxes get paid directly by citizens, such as IBI (think a 38% raise for this purpose), the motor vehicle tax (45%), garbage collection (23.6% ), instead of studying cutting measures in other expenses. "
Socialist spokesman noted that in the Budget 2012, the PP has removed the basis for payment of rental housing in the Civil Guard, "which makes us suspect that, with the change of government delegate, we will completely remove the civil guard service in Los Alcazares. "
It also highlighted the "inconsistencies" identified in the above budgets, for example, only 5,000 euros intended for the promotion of trade and, however, subsidies are granted private sports clubs to 36,000 euros.
In addition, Joaquín Menárguez criticized the PP ask citizens "a summer Tuesday afternoon, television and local media" that taxes from entering "because there was money," and then show that they had because it raised as a result of that call 500,000 euros, and the next day ordered the payment of 3,700,000, or who, by mistake, entered three nominations for employees rather than one.
According Menárguez, the economic situation of the City of Los Alcazares is not as bad as he wants to convince local citizens PP.
"Surely they think it is more profitable work from the occult and from the promotion of fear."
"We're required to do an audit, which was, moreover, the first item on the agenda of the PP, who said that nothing would come, not done. And in the 2012 budget has not provided" said.
