The mayor of Alcantarilla, in a demonstration to the media, said: "It has not been possible to find the minimum support and consensus to be able to face the budget debate." A budget presented by the City Council, with more than 27,700 .000 euros, for the next financial year, with 571,000 euros more than the current year ".
In the afternoon of today it was planned to hold the extraordinary plenary session to approve the budget project that for the year 2018 presented the mayor of Alcantarilla, Joaquín Buendía, to the rest of the members of the Municipal Corporation.
As already mentioned in the press conference held yesterday, at the end of it indicated that despite not having sufficient support, "during the next few hours we will continue to seek a balance point with some political group that allows the budgets to go ahead That Sewer needs, and I ask the opposition groups to leave aside their electoral objectives and use some responsibility, and the same predisposition as this government team, to reach that agreement. "
So it has been up to one minute before the start of the session, not having finally the necessary support to them, which has led him to withdraw this proposal and therefore not hold such plenary session.
All of this, in accordance with the provisions of Article 168 of the TRLHL, which indicates that the President of the Corporation will form the budget and forward it to the Plenary for approval, amendment or refund.
Said project was transferred to the different municipal groups on November 10, with the indication that they could make to the Department of the Treasury and the City Hall itself any doubts and queries they had about it, without any municipal group, exception of IU-Greens: Win Sewer, no doubt or query would have been made.
As indicated in the decree, which provides for the withdrawal of the Budget Project, during all this time, the government team has tried to reach an agreement to move forward the budget project, not having been able to reach such an agreement.
He also recalls that on November 30 the corresponding Finance Information Commission took place, prior to the budget approval debate, without any consultation, doubt or proposal on the part of any municipal group.
Not until the convocation of the Plenary, when the different municipal groups present their amendments.
In total 69 amendments, with a total amount amounting to 4,093,400 euros.
Amendments, many times unviable, by the different agreements and contracts that are in force in this City Council.
Amendments, in short, as indicated in the decree of withdrawal of the project, which totally distort the Budget Project.
The mayor of Alcantarilla, Joaquín Buendía, after the withdrawal of the project and already connoisseurs the assistants of the non-celebration of the extraordinary plenary session, made a statement to the media that had gathered this afternoon, in which he indicated: "There has It was possible to find the minimum support and consensus to be able to face the budget debate, a budget that the City Council had submitted, with more than 27,700,000 euros, for the next financial year, with 571,000 euros more than the current year and as I told them yesterday, the necessary responsibility so that this budget was not completely dynamited, with a number of amendments exceeding four million euros, which affect items, many of them essential in the operation of activities and services of this City Council, It is for this reason that this responsibility has led me to withdraw the budget project, not celebrating the plenary today. "
Buendía continued saying, "this was a situation we did not want, we have been trying until the last minute before this plenary session, in fact the plenary session was going to start with a little delay, for those last contacts and negotiations, but it has not It was possible, with amendments that were badly raised, that tried to reduce the budget where it was not possible for elementary services of this City Council, they have not been able to reach that agreement ".
"We have sought this consensus, we have tried to make it clear on many of the issues that were raised, and it has not been possible, we are convinced that it was a positive budget for the City Council and for the residents of Alcantarilla to continue moving forward. It incorporated 571,000 euros more for our entire population, and it has not been possible, what we will now have is an extended budget and as I have pointed out on previous occasions, we will try to manage it in the best way that we have done this year, in a sensible way , reasonable, with balance, trying to minimize the impact of not approving a budget, having an extended budget, as it may imply in the services we provide to the residents of Alcantarilla ",
Joaquín Buendía, ended by indicating to the media, "we will continue to seek consensus and dialogue, but well, regret that the work that many professionals of this City Council have done in planning a budget for the following year, balanced, adjusted, fulfilling all our obligations and increasing those items that we thought important, such as in the area of ​​social welfare, in the area of ​​our parties and traditions, in sports with that call for grants with 90,000 euros that we were going to have this year and many other issues that included in the budget have not gone ahead, but I insist we will continue working so that those services can continue advancing, within the limitations that will cause us to have an extended budget ".
