For the Spokesman of the PSOE of Archena, Gonzalo Caracena, "the budget of the PP economically condemns the people. The income is reduced more than the expenses, with respect to last year and, nothing more than expenses, there is a 92% directed to expenses of personnel (62%) and basic services (30%), which leaves the Consistory without room for maneuver or own funds to eliminate debt or make own investments. "

According to the Socialists, through its spokesman, "the collection forecasts have dropped 211 thousand euros and it is worrying, since in 2019 they were pending collection around two million euros and could be even worse" but also recognizes that "the rise of State Taxes to the City of Archena, from the Central Socialist Government, worth 174 thousand euros will help alleviate this deficit. "

In contrast to this increase, it is also worth noting the reduction of the real investment of the CARM in the municipality of Archena by almost 400 thousand euros compared to last year, according to the economic-financial report of the Councilor for Finance.

According to the same report, it is also recognized that the costs of goods and services are reduced by 150 thousand euros in the budget, that is, the expenses related to cleaning services, social assistance and supplies decrease, while "the worrying thing is that once again, the staff costs rise again due to the inclusion of 12 new officials, who, in the town, we all know who they are, "says Caracena.

The budgets, prepared by the mayor of Archena, Patricia Fernández, also do not reduce the debt according to the Adjustment Plan set by the City Council itself in 2012. Only slightly more than 100 thousand euros (1%) of the almost 17 million are amortized and a half of living debt.

In addition, it is important to highlight that in this budget it includes items such as replacement works of the old town that are still not executed, burial of containers that accumulate more than 290 thousand euros, with the only execution in Ramón y Cajal street and the renovation of sanitation , which would correspond to the ACCIONA concessionaire according to agreement and that surprisingly impute contributions from individuals.

That is why the Socialists have shown their discontent and have voted against the budgets that the mayor of Archena, Patricia Fernández, has presented in the extraordinary plenary held on Thursday, for being unreal and economically condemn the municipal coffers.
