â— The training applies its governance agreement to the budget and hopes to include new measures in 2018 to provide stability and attract investments to the municipality
â— "Our work has already translated into savings of more than 100,000 euros for the Consistory in two years, a money that can now be used to improve services to the neighbors," said Orange Councilwoman Ana Isabel Belijar
Citizens Pliego considers "a good first step" the approval of municipal budgets for this year, which includes the conduct of an audit and a general audit of local accounts from them, as reflected in the agreement of governability that allowed the current government team to access the Mayor's Office.
"We are a responsible party and we comply with our commitments," said the spokeswoman of the municipal group, Ana Isabel Belijar, who has applauded that the budgets already allocate 8,000 euros for this audit, whose total amount will be completed in the accounts for 2018: The budget for 2018 should also address the improvement of the Consistory's efficiency through the adaptation of staff hours to legality.
The law establishes 37.5 hours a week, but now they work 35, so from 2012 to today have been 'lost' almost 10,000 hours, which, yes, have been paid. "
"The approval and budgetary stabilization promoted by Citizens through agreements with the Government team are key to giving security to the neighbors and to be able to attract investments to our municipality so that they generate employment and wealth.
We have succeeded in ending the 'via crucis' which meant operating with extended or directly unrealistic budgets in their spending and income forecasts, "said Belijar.
Citizens presented 48 amendments to the budgets of 2016, which meant a saving of more than 85,000 euros to the Consistory.
"This year, we have also achieved a saving of 21,391 euros thanks to the refinancing of the municipal debt in the long term, money that can be used to improve the services provided to the neighbors," added the Orange spokesperson.
