The Popular Party of San Bartolomé has demanded that the mayor Isidro Pérez "approve" the municipal budget for 2024 "in a timely manner." The municipal spokesman, Jeziel Martín, will ask the mayor in the next plenary session about "what are his forecasts" regarding the "approval of the budgets" of the town hall for 2024. And it is that with barely "two months to go until the end of the year, the socialist government has not yet announced its intentions regarding the new budget and the schedule planned for its processing."

The Populars hope that "this time yes", the government will approve the accounts "in a timely manner" and be "capable of presenting budgets that really respond to the needs of the residents and the deficiencies of the different population centers."

The spokesman and local president of the PP, Jeziel Martín, emphasizes that San Bartolomé "has been working" in this exercise with extended budgets, as already happened in 2021. "We trust that in this term the PSOE will begin to do things correctly and the budget extensions will not end up becoming a bad habit of a government that has enough majority to comply with this procedure," says Martín, who considers it a "sign of incompetence" not to update the economic forecasts to the municipal reality of this moment.

The councilor asks himself "how can you presume so much good management" when, for example, the "incorporation of remnants only denotes the government's inability to execute its own projects." "Looking ahead to 2024," he adds, "it is essential to have realistic budgets, which contemplate the tax cuts demanded by residents, self-employed and SMEs, as well as the improvement of public services and the investments that give a boost to the integral development of the municipality of San Bartolomé." Something that, he insists, "will not be achieved if the budgets are approved late or extended."
