The Nationalist Group (CC-PNC) in the Arrecife City Council has registered this Tuesday, March 23, its allegations to the budget for the year 2021, which the capital's Consistory initially approved on February 26. Allegations that, according to the spokesman for the nationalists, Echedey Eugenio, "aim to adjust the municipal budget to the real income forecast by the managing body Red Tributaria de Lanzarote".
Eugenio assures that the municipal government group "has invented the income". "They have not even asked for a report from the Tax Network, which is the one that really knows how income is falling with Covid."
The nationalists also request that "the file be returned to the moment in which the negotiation of the Staff of Civil Servants, Labor and Eventual Personnel should have been carried out and the expenditure forecast be modified, including the result of the judicial ruling that says that collective bargaining is a mandatory procedure in the approval of the budget".
Thus, the mayor insists that "a Court has already said twice that collective bargaining is a mandatory procedure for the approval of the budget, but they do not take it into account again and that is a legal recklessness."
According to Eugenio, the money for the forced expropriation of the land occupied by the Adolfo Topham school is not included in the budgets either, of which they already have a sentence. “While the mayor, Ástrid Pérez, is in Parliament in the debate on Nationality, we continue to worry about Arrecife. It is enough to play with the future of our city to look good in the photo and not have responsibility in the management,” emphasizes the CC-PNC spokesman.
