The PSOE demands that the still mayor of Teguise, the nationalist Oswaldo Betancort, approve the 2023 Budgets before “leaving office”, so that the new Government that emerges from the next elections will find updated accounts in May.
In this way, the socialist spokesperson Marcos Bergaz urges to “take out the Budgets now, still without initial approval, despite being a fundamental tool to start the institutional machinery and not depend on an 'expired' budget like last year's, extended since January 1 and which suffered more than forty modifications throughout 2022”.
“Precisely, the proximity of the elections invites even more to approve them so that the new Government does not find itself without this key instrument, which we say from the responsibility of those who want to be Government and mayor of Teguise from May onwards”, emphasizes the socialist leader.
“It is urgent to adopt shock measures in the municipal gardens, the necessary beautification of the group of towns and payments, to initiate plans such as the special plan for La Villa or the modernization of Costa Teguise, among other actions, and also to recover the times when Teguise was the first to approve its accounts”, adds the spokesperson.
The socialists recall that it is not the first time that the current Canary Coalition Government, despite its absolute majority, has unjustifiably delayed the approval of the Corporation's Budgets, "to the point that in 2021 they were not able to approve them, under the guise of the effects of the pandemic and the 'bottleneck' that meant for the municipal coffers to face the payment of more than 3 million euros for the expropriation of land in the town of Tahiche", says Bergaz.
“What we want to avoid is that it is repeated in this last year of mandate, because the objective is that whoever governs, the 2023 accounts are ready for the good of municipal management”, concludes Bergaz.
