The PSOE urges the Government formed by the Canary Coalition (CC), the Popular Party (PP) and Vox to "release now" the new Teguise budgets for the upcoming 2024.
The socialists make this request close to "starting the new year", without the current Government "having been able, in the 180 days it has been in charge of the city council, to update accounts that date back to the beginning of 2022, the last year in which the budgets were approved".
This situation, which the Socialist Group describes as anomalous, "is a new sign that the Government is running at a slow pace", forcing it to use extended accounts "far from the current needs of Teguise and La Graciosa", says the socialist councilor, Judit Fontes.
"This explains why in the last year they have made numerous budget modifications (more than 25), which slows down the operation of the institution itself and the governmental action", laments the councilor.
"And that is that as soon as the mandate began, recalls Judit Fontes, we set the Government of CC, PP and Vox some minimum duties: approve the budgets and present their Government program. Well, neither one nor the other have they done".
Recover the leadership
In the opinion of the socialists, "it is a priority that they focus their energies on getting some new accounts out and thus contemplate fundamental items to face shock actions in the green areas, review the planning, increase scholarships or an investment plan for the municipality", says the councilor.
"If years ago Teguise boasted of having its budgets approved in a timely manner, the progressive loss of leadership, denounces Fontes, is also noticeable in that neither in 2021, nor in this 2023, has the Government headed by the Canary Coalition managed to approve new accounts".
"To break with this inertia, we extend our hand once again, because politics requires agreements, based on two major axes: recover the lost leadership and the budgetary normality of the Institution", says the socialist councilor.
"We hope that they will let themselves be helped by the main opposition party, although we greatly fear that they will continue with their strategy of "not even water" to the Socialist Group, despite the fact that with this they harm the municipal interests", concludes Judit Fontes.
