Alicante Provincial Council PSPV-PSOE spokesperson, Vicente Arqueshe once again called on the head of the state organization, Toni Pérez, to initiate the “necessary discussions” regarding the preparation of the 2024 budgets of the State Council.
Socialist spokesperson said, “On the other hand, as of September 30, the budget implementation rate of the Provincial Assembly was 33%. If we move it to December 30, it will be 44 percent. Only 4 out of 10 euros are spent Committee Province of Alicante, 3 of which are personal expenses in part 1 and current expenses in part 2. Alicante Provincial Council’s investment level currently stands at 10%. “It is unacceptable that we have 300 million euros in banking institutions.”
Constitution
Arques said, “We must not forget that the Provincial Council was established on August 2 and the Constitution of all autonomous bodies was postponed for two months, based on the term of office of 2019 to 2023. In the 2019 constitution, autonomous bodies were established in the last week of September and in October. With this appointment, together with Toni Pérez, all the trustees and the rest organisms In the last week of December. Therefore, the delay and paralysis of the Alicante Provincial Assembly is concrete.”
Arques suggested: “For the 2024 budget we have three clear actions. The first action is to change the administration procedure for Plan Planifica, Plan + cerca and other plans. The works have been carried out with a delay for 3 and 4 years, as the municipal councils did not allow the municipal councils to hold the tender and the municipalities themselves had difficulty in carrying out the tender. “We would like to draw attention to the fact that the framework agreement with Iberdrola from the Provincial Council of Alicante, which expired in September, forces us, the municipal councils, to pay more expensive electricity than the citizens. This is a Framework agreement signed two years ago. It has its own characteristics due to the war in Ukraine and Russia and councils currently incur more costs than any neighbours,” he said.
Take attention
And finally, Arques commented: “We socialists want to draw attention to the strategy of the Provincial Council. The President of the Provincial Assembly constantly says that his goal is to help municipalities with smaller populations and that 65 million euros should be ready or allocated to the budget. Congress palace in AlicanteThey bought a headquarters in Elche for 7 million euros and provided a budget of 5 million euros for a building in Benidorm that they do not yet own, we are talking about 77 million euros. If your priority is to help municipalities with small populations, but you allocate a budget of 77 million Euros to 3 municipalities with large populations. My question is: Is the Alicante Provincial Council a real estate office? It is dedicated to purchasing buildings for large municipalities and can serve 77 municipalities with smaller populations for 77 million euros and 1 million euros per municipality.
