The spokesperson for the Municipal People's Party in Campos del Río, Miguel Buendia, has called on the mayor of the municipality, the socialist Miguel Navarro, who adapted his salary of 40,000 euros, the economic crisis we are facing and the budget available the city of Campos del Río.
Buendia has been reported that while many residents of the municipality began to be unemployed and are struggling to make ends meet, the mayor of Campos del Rio has preferred salary and will get to collect 41,450 euros this year, demonstrating that "has more interest to satisfy his pocket to solve the problems of the neighbors.
This is outrageous and disrespectful to the citizens.
The same applies to the salary of Town Planning, that in the Budget of 2008, which have just been approved, the salary has risen to 34,160 euros. "
The spokesman explained that the PP has presented a wide austerity plan that includes the elimination of dedicated Councillor for Works and Services, Planning, staff and accommodation, which involves the removal of a salary of 34,160 euros.
The city spokesman justified this initiative, despite the importance of skills that manages the council, you can dispense with the services provided by the owner, taking account of little or no positive results reaped so far in the exercise of their duties.
Municipal spokesman for the PP, "the citizens of River Fields can not afford to pay salaries abusive as those involving the mayor and Town Planning."
In addition, the Popular Party has proposed a freeze on budgetary allocations for elected diets and those on assistance to corporate bodies (Plenary and Board of Governors), the reduction of expenditure on legal services, the freeze municipal staff, which were only allowed to increase to cover operational services, including local police, or meet needs associated with social services or education, and a plan to reduce current expenditure without compromising the delivery of basic services citizens and to pay special attention to items that are not essential (such as publicity and publications) and those for energy consumption in municipal buildings.
Miguel Buendia explained that this plan was presented as an alternative to other presented by the PSOE in which the mayor is limited to not raise his salary and the Town Planning in 2009 (after subírselo in 2008) and not to increase freeze current spending and non-existent budget.
Popular Party spokesman has stated that the proposal socialist "is clearly insufficient and inefficient.
It is unacceptable that a situation of crisis that has caused a drastic reduction of the revenue budget, the chapters of staff and current spending as a whole represent almost 76% of the total expenditure budget. "
In addition, for Buendía "is ridiculous to propose to freeze items such as operating costs of local political groups or the salaries of chiefs of staff, consultants and other senior officials of confidence when those items do not exist in the general budgets of Campos del Río ".
Popular Party spokesman has criticized the austerity plan proposed by the PSOE nor plan, nor is austere, is an absurd and ridiculous pantomime to try to be good for show and, worse, seeks to mislead citizens of Campos del Rio.
"Here we ask the secretary general of the Socialist Murcia, Pedro Saura, who cares less than pose for the photo and devote more time to properly instruct their mayors about what they should and should not do," he concluded.
