The Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia allocated a total of 30.46 euros per inhabitant to the municipality of Totana (31,394 inhabitants) in the regional budgets for 2020, which meant current transfers of 956,190 euros.A report from the Department of Financial Economics and Accounting of the University of Murcia estimated at 28.38% the economic coverage of improper competences provided by the town councils of the Region, mostly related to education, social services and health.In this way, it can be deduced that for every one hundred euros they spend on them, they only receive a little more than 28 to finance them, which does not contribute to correcting the imbalances and economic straits that local administrations suffer year after year.The municipalities that receive the most funds, in absolute figures, are the largest, since they are the ones that bear the highest volume of expenses: Murcia, with 4.8 million euros; Cartagena, with 4.4 million; and Lorca, with 3.7.But in the calculation per inhabitant of money assigned to each municipality, the smallest are at the top of the table: Ojós (171.22 euros per neighbor), Albudeite (116.5), Aledo (111.9) and Ulea (94, 9).The Local Cooperation Plan, for example, which includes the district plan for municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, and the Works and Services Plan for medium and small municipalities, amounts to 19,992,348 euros, 690 euros more than in 2019 , and that one of the novelties of this program was the concession of 186,454 euros to Los Alcázares to deal with the repairs derived from the floods.In fact, the Plenary of the Totana City Council already approved a motion last February, at the request of the Socialist Group, demanding that the regional government make the regional investment per neighbor in Totana for the year 2020 similar to that of the rest of the citizens region of.In this proposal, the regional president was required to immediately modify the budget project in relation to spending in Totana for 2020, and that it reach 5,638,362.4 euros, which is what would correspond according to the criteria established by the regional government investment per inhabitant and year.
