City of Alguazas]
In an economic environment like the present, marked by uncertainty of how long we will suffer the stakes of a financial crisis and productive of magnitude virtually unknown until now, and can be somewhat likened to crack the 29 in the U.S. , by the collapse of stock markets and the gradual loss of wealth in our small savers, the environment of Local Authorities are faced with a situation of full catharsis and in which all should row towards continuing to provide services to citizens of our municipalities and at the same time try to avoid exorbitant borrowing corporations committing future, without forgetting that suppliers have regular or occasional human resources to which you have to keep abreast of payments to avoid the economic collapse of these and not allow the increasing number of unemployed in our populations.
In this environment the unemployment figures with which our country faces within less than a year with more than 5,300,000 unemployed, exceeding more than 23% of the total productive power of our country and over 1,400,000 Spanish households with all members unemployed, indicate that it continues to destroy jobs.
Fear of recession is no longer just has already become a reality, the deficit reached 6.3% of gross domestic product (GDP), violating the Stability and Growth Pact of the European Union.
The State's current deficit is already at 3.7% of GDP and the external deficit with which we breakfasted not drop significantly because we are unable to adapt our economy and we are burdened with an excessive dependence on tourism revenues, which do nothing but decline steadily, to make matters worse, we are the most industrialized country in the current account deficit as a percentage of its business, and also the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has reached levels of 5% and is currently is more relieved, with 2%.
Faced with this avalanche of bad economic data the present Government of Spain interregional solidarity must become a reality in which we all, without favoring some Autonomous Communities other obvious impairment simply because of the political color of the Administration or by the acortoplacista convenience of its parliamentary survival, as has been happening on the stage Zapatero, President of a government that abolished the National Hydrological Plan (NHP) without giving solutions that repeal after becoming the hydrological aspect in a dispute between the Autonomous Bodies.
A government that confeccionaba the State Budget with an expected unenforceable increase in GDP of 1% if, as has been stated before, we are in a recession that has reached with the previous government the worst socialist ZP index of all the history of our democracy.
A government that did not face the second decentralization decisively and boldly refused to give Local Authorities it really behooves us (in 100 € raised through taxes on expenditure is as follows: the state, 45%, of which approximately half are Social Security, Autonomous Communities have close to 40% and the municipalities only 15%. A socialist government at all times disregarded Article 142 of the Constitution: "The Local Finance shall have the means sufficient to perform the functions which the law accords to the respective Corporations, and shall mainly from own taxes and participation in the State and the Autonomous Communities. "
The local administrations are the closest to the citizen and have been gradually assuming responsibilities, primarily social in nature, without the resources obtained through the above authorities have provided funding for them.
Thus, our city councils increasingly used for the maintenance budget for these services to citizens.
We, the municipalities, the true stars-and pagan-social policies.
So Alguazas City Council will face a year 2012 full of moderation beset by economic realities of crisis that surrounds us all administrative levels but without neglecting the maintenance of facilities, infrastructure and basic services and priority established and start up configured first term as one of the most productive investment in our town has known throughout its history, thanks to a Municipal Budget, estimated at around 6 million euros, can be defined as austere and based on rigor, stressing at the same cost reductions that can be put in about a million euros and also articulating the development of a policy of structuring of the fabric of the town with the support and provision of subsidies to various groups that promote their activities the Alguazas social life.
The 2012 Municipal Budget also pose condition the new investment to the existence of funding from other public administrations, with the clear objective of achieving economic balance of the Consistory without resorting to higher taxes to increase revenue.
In a word, a Municipal Budget 2012 that represent the continuity and realization of the objectives and achieved excellent results with this and Sanitation Improvement Plan undertaken by the current economic government team since 2007.
And is that the positive effects of the financial planning of municipal accounts has also achieved a double effect: first, reducing by 57% over the deficit caused by the former ruling party, the Socialist, and secondly, the increase by more than 14% revenue through proper coordination of budgetary discipline and sound, among other guidelines, has achieved remarkable surface and charge a hidden portion of direct taxes (such as IBI).
Furthermore, over recent years the level of indebtedness of our Consistory is well below 110% of current income that marks the state law standing on the level of debt of the municipal coffers in 44, 75%, one of the lowest in the region.
This is a sign of economic health and the financial muscle from the debt is fully available for the execution of investments in the public interest and the acometimiento of credit lines and may be required.
A Plan to Improve Economic and Sanitation, which deriving the Municipal Budgets articulated by the government team's Party, has also achieved at this stage to allocate for the payment of compensation items Chapter 1 of the 42.33% of total expenditure budget by booking On the contrary, THE 46.39% for the purchase of everyday goods and services for the proper functioning of the Local Government and its relations with citizens.
Similarly we can highlight the existence of a large number of agreements signed with the Regional Government, at least for this year's report Alguazas nearly 7 million for the provision of essential services to the residents, citizens.
As we can see their results, the fruits, the Municipal Budgets of recent years, adapted to the discipline and rationalization of expenditure set by the Drainage Improvement Plan Economic and developed by our City Council in the last four years come to be ambitious projects to adapt to the reality that surrounds us and focusing exclusively on the ultimate benefit of citizens of our town and an example of good practice liability policy of the current government team.
Another recipe that has implemented this municipal financial planning is to allocate the savings and austerity policies referred to in actions to promote employment and being an exercise in proximity to the public the opportunity to develop action plans for employment integration.
Thus, from our City Council has encouraged the direct recruitment and incorporation of workers into city services.
In addition, through comprehensive employment plans and special actions, together with the European Social Fund and the Regional Employment Service and Training regional government, we have incorporated the world of work and job training to a remarkable number of neighbors.
A strategic versus financial management developed by the City Council has been to achieve in practical terms of a tax freeze.
In that line has acted with all present public sector prices and Ordinances Tax rates for use of municipal facilities and water service where there have been only IPC updates as the law in a brand word, the control of municipal taxes, not raising them in recent years in office is a fact and a step towards significantly ease the tax burden to the neighbor.
Another good result that has thrown fiscal restraint Alguazas City Council is reflected in a reduction of current expenditure that has not meant, however, a decline in services provided to citizens but are being relativized to an adjustment acquisitions by the Consistory in economic, ie renegotiating the prices at which services are delivered and they shop, in order to obtain a better return on public funds.
A new key positive to add to the beneficial effects that are generating the last Municipal Budget has been increasing year after year of continued investment in facilities and services (where, for example, the new Wastewater Treatment Station will be the biggest infrastructure that will develop the town in its history, if you stick to the endowment to be allocated for its construction, that is, more than 14 million euros), the government team goal for the coming years to continue the search for financing and investment lines of the other government to continue providing new facilities to the municipality of services and facilities.
To conclude I reflect on this opinion and analysis, the commitment this team has with the Government and alguaceñas alguaceños and with which we attended the last presidential polls in which voters cast their majority trust in us.
The economic situation does not allow extravagance and so we are fully convinced that the scrupulous fulfillment every day of these austerity measures and rationalization / optimization spending will lead to Alguazas City Council can look optimistically to the future.
The commitment is to provide a perfect service, extending the coverage to be always at the forefront, should enjoy services that ordinary citizens and, of course, at the lowest possible cost to the family coffers making it possible for the promotion of savings and in turn the consumer ultimately is what creates jobs.
The responsibility for the economic situation is undeniable supra administrations but we as municipal government team have undertaken these measures have a positive impact on management and attention to our neighbors to the welfare of all is a challenge and a mission to secure compliance.
