The deputy spokesman of the PP, Josefa María Sánchez, has demanded the Government of the Nation "address already in a strong, immediate and imminent reform of local financing and fulfill its historic debt to the town of Totana, amounting, he said, 25 million euros. "
Sanchez explained that "the PP has already filed several motions in full in this regard and noted that this situation is common to all municipalities in Murcia, where regardless of political orientation, it will make a motion that is claimed to National Government to resolve the local finance reform. "
The popular deputy spokesman said that "it seems that today the negotiation of local funding is stagnant and it seems that the socialist government does not seem concerned about the structural problem suffered by Spanish municipalities, which have the same resources in the last 30 years. "
Sanchez explained that "during this time the demands of citizens have been increasing and municipalities now finance powers granted to the Autonomous Communities, without any increased revenue."
For this reason, the Popular Party again to claim that "local funding to be tackled in parallel with regional funding and based on the principles of autonomy and sufficiency" and stated that "the Socialists have five years to municipalities cheating" because it "has not done anything about it and it is priority while addressing regional funding."
For PP councilor, "the Executive Zapatero has completely forgotten what a clamor of local entities of the government's commitments and the PSOE itself, ignoring the resolutions passed in Congress and Senate to demand a solution local funding for parallel and coordinated with the overall system of regional financing. "
This is because, as indicated by the deputy secretary of the PP "far from fulfilling its commitment to address specifically the local funding in parallel with the state, the Executive intends to entertain socialist local government in order to gain time" .
The council has said that "all with the complicity of President of the FEMP dedicated to applaud the Government and not to protect the interests of municipalities, which are the bodies are closer and more structural needs."
