The Municipal People's Government will require the Nation, at the next plenary session to be held on Tuesday 31 March, to take urgent measures for the charging light because they are harming thousands of families who are watching their savings depleted by the large increase that was recorded in the last year.
The Popular Party will urge the Government to equate the rise of the light at the IPC 2009 and to amend the charging system to make it more transparent and verifiable by the consumer, immediately eliminating estimated readings.
In addition, the plenary of the Corporation shall call upon the National Government to amend the current billing system is clearly damaging to large families by enacting consumer segments.
At this, the Municipal People's Party asked that the indicator is not the whole household, but the number of people that includes the family and that this modification also suits small and medium enterprises and self employed who are punished by a increased consumption, because it is the result of its economic activity.
The mayor of Consumer Affairs, María Isabel Sánchez Ruiz has repeatedly explained that "during the 2008 energy bill rose 10 percent more than in 2007, standing almost seven times what each family received more than the increase CPI, which this year was 1.5 percent. "
It has also indicated that the utilities have gone up again plus revenues to 5.6 percent, ie January 2008 to January 2009, the electricity bill has been an increase of more than 15 percent .
In this situation, the PP can not remain impassive and see how the economies of Totana neighbors are being hard hit by the inflated bills that are coming to their homes.
Moreover, as the mayor of Consumer Affairs, the Zapatero government foresees a further rise in electricity prices this summer, and this can cause many problems for families.
Yet, Sánchez Ruiz has been reported that in the special service that was put on the council to collect complaints from neighbors in their electricity bills were processed over 500 notifications.
