The president of the PP in Totana, Isabelle Nau, has called on the Government's Office to allow the councils spend 60 percent of the second Local Investment Fund for payments to vendors and invoices to SMEs in Totana, and reiterated that the socialist government should take note of the demands and needs of municipalities.
According to Nau, only municipalities are allowed to devote 20% of the second Plan E for current expenditure related to social, educational and law relating to dependency, and noted that for the PP, the figure is "totally inadequate because, municipalities, and institutions closer to citizens, they need to fund basic services. "
He has also criticized that the next State Budget 2010 are a "frontal attack" against the maintenance and quality of basic services and added that cause the consistory to delay payments and thus jeopardize the future of many SMEs and suppliers.
For the local president of the PP, "for the second consecutive year again forget Rodríguez Zapatero of local councils in the budget, but next year they also provide a cut of more than 3,000 million euros in the amounts transferred to Local Governments" .
Therefore, Antonio Sánchez Pedro explained that "the CP has developed an amendment to the 2010 Budget in which the PP requests to amend the new fund for employment and local sustainability, which is endowed with EUR 5,000 million "
Also, the deputy secretary of PP has complained that the socialist government "has wasted another year and billions of euros while, as we note from the PP, Plan E has not solved the critical situation of the municipalities or has resolved more than four million unemployed people in Spain. "
