"The average payment period figures also place it as one of the Cabildos that takes the longest to pay, with an average of 34 days," the Populars criticize.

The PP questions "the excellent economic management that President Dolores Corujo flaunts every time the absolutely unjustified delay in which the approval of the corporation's general budgets had fallen since the PP left the government was put in check." 

The Populars point out that the data offered by the Ministry of Finance and Public Function on the situation of Local Corporations in Spain, as of December 2022, "undermines the image of good government and better managers that Corujo's socialist government is trying to project." 

"In this sense, it should be noted that the Cabildo of Lanzarote, governed by the progressive left led by Corujo, has accumulated a debt to suppliers of 7,578,963 euros, one of the largest in the islands. Likewise, the average payment period figures also place it as one of the Cabildos that takes the longest to pay with an average of 34 days. An average time far from the 8 days it takes to pay, for example, the City Council of Arrecife, which continues to be the most agile when it comes to complying with its suppliers," they point out from the PP.

These official figures from the Ministry of Finance, "prepared from the information sent by the local corporations themselves, do not leave the current government of PSOE and Podemos in a good place, who talk a lot about supporting the commercial fabric, entrepreneurs and SMEs but then suffocates their liquidity by not paying in a timely manner", the Populars conclude.
