Financing model
During his speech, the counselor has referred to the political situation of the country and has criticized the central government, which is, has said, “paralyzed for its parliamentary weakness and wrapped in a situation that has the Spaniards stunned, tired and outraged.”
In line, he has denounced the effects of the regional financing model of the central government, which place Murcia as “the worst funded community”, with a difference with respect to the best funded of 1.6 billion euros, which “is seriously threatening the welfare state” in the region.
“This budget would miss the 1.6 billion euros that Sanchez confers to other autonomous communities, that Murcians do not want to give us and that you do not have the value of demanding,” said Marín addressing the socialist bench.
Parliamentary groups
The deputy of the Socialist Parliamentary Group, Alfonso Martínez Baños, has criticized the development model of Murcia, which “generates inequality” and which he has described as “unproductive”, since after 30 years, “The level of wealth is still in the tail of Spain, demonstrating the failure of the economic policy of the PP in the region.” “The economy in Murcia is not to throw rockets,” he said.
According to Martínez Baños, the Murcia economy “has a serious structural problem that the government is being unable to correct”, and has spoken of a “failed” budget in a community that is “the most breach in terms of deficit and debt”, but recalled that it can count on the commitment of the Socialists to claim the reform of the autonomous financing system.
For his part, the deputy spokesman of the Vox parliamentary group, Rubén Martínez Alpañez has assured that Murcia “Neither is administered nor governed” And he has failed that the answer every time his party makes a proposal to improve the life of the Murcia is the same, infinance.
It has been asked, in this regard, that if you are in this scenario “why they persist in the bad praxis of bringing an increasingly high budget every year and with uncontrolled deficit”; Why the Murcia Executive “spends more if we have no money”, crossing up “reckless” the management of the Ministry.
The deputy of Podemos-iu-Av, José Luis Álvarez-Castellanoshas questioned the social action item for officials, which remains at 700,000 euros, and has criticized that the works and services plan remains “stagnant” in 12 million, when in 2010 it was around 54. “If I were one of the 4,000 taxpayers With heritage between 700,000 and 3.5 million euros, I would be very happy because it bonuses me practically all my taxation, “he added.
Finally, from the PP the deputy Isabel María Sánchez has defended that the budgets presented by the government of her party “They put the family at the center of political action.” “Because governing is not improvising, or making media noise, much less yielding to political blackmail to extend the stay in the Moncloa,” said the ‘popular’ deputy, which makes it clear that these budgets “are born from the firm commitment to people, with concrete and effective measures.”
Ramón Sánchez-Parra, also of the PP, stressed that regional government policies “give results and place the Murcia region at the head of economic growth. Fiscal moderation, administrative simplification and measures to promote economic activity make Murcia a space for economic freedom.”
