After it became known that the mayor of San Carlos, Alejandro Morillas, plans Spending almost 40 million pesos on Teachers’ Day celebrationsthey came out to ask him to suspend this, attentive to the economic crisis that the municipality is going through, in line with what is happening at the provincial and national level.
“The money allocated to this event could be invested in initiatives that truly benefit the educational community and citizens in general,” states the request presented by Ricardo Fernandezpresident of the PRO of San Carlos.
And he maintains: “as the improvement of school infrastructure, the acquisition of educational materials, training programs for teachers, austerity when applied with responsibility and strategic vision, becomes the tool that will guide us towards a horizon of stability and growth.”
This was raised in a note that was submitted to the Deliberative Council, through the neighbor’s bench, so that it “acts towards the cancellation of the public tender request N*55/24, “Teacher’s Day Party” for the value of $37,600,000.”
Among other things, he argues that “public resources must be used in projects that benefit the neighborhoods and their inhabitants.” “At a time when poverty increases and confidence in institutions is shaken, this situation further aggravates the distrust that many of us feel towards those who should be managing the common good. It is necessary that you, as representatives of the people, take ownership of this request… Politics must reconnect with the reality of San Carlos, without petty interests, and regain lost confidence,” he warns the councilors.
Among other things, Fernández points out that “it is discouraging how such significant resources are allocated to an event that, although important, should not be a priority compared to so many other demands. This excessive spending is not only unnecessary, but it generates a feeling of disconnection between the authorities and the real needs of their community.”
And warns what “It is not the first waste by the administration“We, the people of San Carlos, wonder if it is necessary to remind the councilors that “their performance is key to the development and management of the community, essential to guarantee that municipal policies are aligned with the needs and expectations of citizens, “their voters,” ensuring transparent and efficient administration of public resources.”
