The PSOE of Teguise urges the Government of Oswaldo Betancort to approve the Corporation's Budgets for the year 2021, "a task in which the seven councilors of the socialist group are willing to collaborate for this purpose," he points out.
"Months ago we already conveyed the need to approve the budgets in order to respond to a battery of measures that help overcome the difficult times the municipality is going through, which we insist on, because if during normality - Marcos Bergaz points out - the municipal accounts were approved at the end of each year, now it should be a priority to do so promptly.”
“We recall that the Budgets are the roadmap for the coming months, as they include the investments and aid that the Corporation foresees for this year 2021, in which, unfortunately, Covid continues to condition our lives. Therefore, the urgency of approving them,” Bergaz said.
“From the socialist ranks we encourage the municipal government to present and approve the budget project, for which they can count on our collaboration, even for the modifications that have to be made in the future, making the “all in one” a reality, always with two fundamental axes: supporting the people most affected by this serious crisis and reactivating the economy of Teguise and La Graciosa."
In this sense, for the socialists of Teguise “as we have proposed and recommended to the municipal government, we must take advantage of the budgets to continue the line marked by other administrations, establishing direct aid for the affected sectors, similar to those designed by San Bartolomé or the Cabildo de Lanzarote itself; and establish fiscal measures that reduce the effects that the coronavirus crisis is causing,” says Bergaz.
To conclude, the councilman recalls that “the socialist group has presented different initiatives to help alleviate the consequences of the pandemic, without having been taken into account by the government, which does not prevent us from continuing to offer our collaboration and proposals. We will continue with our firm and proactive opposition."
