The plenary session to be held today is assumed to be complicated for the mayor, Inés Rey. First, because a joint motion will be presented in which the three opposition groups (PP, Marea and BNG) will condemn the local government for its way of approving the 2030 Agenda. To approve the modification of the PGOM and third, because it will try to approve a credit change. It is possible that this last point provokes a bitter debate and perhaps for this reason the mayor demanded in the assembly that the spokespersons of the municipal groups agreed not to debate, ignoring that the regulations require that all matters be held in session plenary be debated before being voted on.
The reason given by Rey is that it is a simple modification of two grants (to UNED and to the Republican University) that had already been approved. The only problem is to include them in this year’s budget under the appropriate headings and that is why it seemed “unnecessary” to discuss them. However, neither the PP nor the BNG shared his opinion. Even Tide’s spokesperson, María García, didn’t like it, who made a nasty gesture from the mayor when she tried to evaluate the interventions.
budget changes
Apparently, the tone was raised in the Spokesmen’s Commission, but eventually the local government agreed to discuss this issue as well. The problem is that the local government, which is in the minority, has not yet managed to find an agreement to approve a real change in this year’s budget, which is difficult.
The document must contain several issues, but one particularly thorny: that of the payment pending by the City Council to the Siepse (Infrastructure and Equipment Penitentiary and State Security Company) for the old provincial prison. Atlantic Marea, a privileged partner of the PSOE, is not very satisfied with the agreement reached. There is also the question of IMCE accounts or invoices owed by the Municipality to the concessionaire of the library, all pending an agreement that is presumed to be difficult.
