| PP: "The PSOE-CITIZENS Government Team DOES NOT ADHERE TO the proposal of the local PP so that the Government of Spain authorizes to INVEST the SURVIT of the city council in RECOVERY MEASURES of the municipality against the coronavirus "| At the beginning of April the PP of Las Torres de Cotillas registered a Motion destined to Plenary in which it proposed to the Government of Spain that it authorize to allocate the surplus of municipalities such as ours to measures of sanitary, social and economic recovery of the municipality to alleviate the effects of the Covid-19. Since then, the commitment of the socialists and "oranges" from Torreños for this adhesion to the PP proposal has been null and void as the agreement to advance this popular motion that advocated urging the government of Pedro Sánchez not to use the exceptional powers that the a state of alarm gives it to violate constitutional precepts and laws in force, since, as indicated in article 29 of the Government Law, it is subject to the Constitution and the rest of the legal system and therefore to respect and guarantee the autonomy that the Spanish Constitution and laws give local authorities for the management of their resources, for the management of public money that belongs to each and every Spaniard, not to a specific government.All in all, the popular groups in Las Torres de Cotillas emphasize the text of the proposal that "if it is proposed to modify any law that affects the autonomy, finances or financial stability of local authorities, the modifications in Congress should be validated, before the legitimate representatives of all Spaniards, since the declaration of the State of alarm does not alter the normal functioning of the powers of the State ". The Government of Spain with absolute disregard for our Constitution and the laws that regulate the organization, powers and Finance of local entities has unjustifiably denied payment to the municipalities of the VAT corresponding to the month of December 2017.A non-payment that, in the case of the Town Halls, in addition to constituting a breach of a legal obligation that puts at risk that they can continue to provide their neighbors with the public services they are entrusted with (maintenance of urban infrastructure, housing, security, social services, etc.), has led to the 2017 settlement of the Participation of municipalities in State Taxes being negative for the local administration as a whole, which implies the obligation to reimburse large amounts to the State.The Spanish government is studying "confiscating" the surplus generated in 2019 by local entities (€ 5 billion) as well as the resources they have in banking entities (€ 28 billion) as a consequence of having generated surpluses since the year 2012.It should be noted that the generation of these surpluses is due in large part to efficient and rigorous management of the municipalities of their resources, and they have been able to recurrently generate a positive balance in their public accounts at the end of each budget year.
helping our country to meet the public deficit targets set by the European Union.These surpluses have been destined to reduce the level of indebtedness of local entities, to the execution of financially sustainable investments that revert to the benefit of the neighbors and, in many cases, to continue generating savings in order to combine the provision of quality public services.
to low-tax neighbors without mortgaging future generations.For several years, the municipalities have been demanding greater flexibility from the central government to apply the surpluses generated but always within their autonomy and respecting local autonomy.The Consistories constitute the administration closest to the citizen and have always shown their solidarity with the rest of the Spanish administrations by assuming improper powers without receiving, in many cases, adequate funding from the Autonomous Communities and the State to exercise them, which has caused them to had to allocate their own resources, resources of all their neighbors, to maintain them.But the municipalities cannot be the lifeline for a government that, since June 2018, has been unable to approve some General State Budgets, has been more dependent on propaganda than on serious and rigorous management of everyone's resources.
the Spanish, who have denied Local Corporations and the Autonomous Communities the income that corresponds to them by law (VAT of December 2017 unpaid) and which has increased by 29,000 million euros the Spanish public debt (600 euros more per Spanish).For all the above, the PP of Las Torres de Cotillas asks the Government of Spain to make the rules more flexible so that our city council can use its surplus to implement those services and measures that allow action against the pandemic, always in coordination with the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and the State.
