The suppliers of works and services of the Yaiza City Council received 2.5 million euros last March, according to the mayor, Óscar Noda, who highlights that these payments represent "a new injection of liquidity for small and medium-sized companies in the municipality and Lanzarote."
"In the current scenario of pandemic recovery, public administrations must pull the cart, now also facing the wave of inflation as a result of the war in Ukraine," added the mayor. "In Yaiza we continue to execute works and offer services to our neighbors, strictly complying with all our suppliers, whom we pay in much less time than the legal term of thirty days, and they never tire of thanking us and putting us as an example before other administrations," he defends.
Noda also values "the maintenance of budgetary stability and investment capacity of the City Council, even in times of crisis." "Memory is fragile, but when I arrived at the City Council, first assuming the responsibility of Councilor for Economy and Finance, the municipal debt was 33 million euros, the product of the mismanagement of the old politics that citizens do not even want to remember," he stressed, recalling that currently, in addition to the Mayor's Office, he also holds the responsibility for Economy and Finance.
In addition, he also wanted to thank "the effort of citizens who fulfill their obligations and the work of municipal personnel in all areas."
"The numbers of the latest technical report of Intervention, referring to the settlement and general account of the budget of the past year, endorse the mayor's statement about the economic situation of an Institution that today has zero euros of financial debt," they say from the City Council in a statement.
"Our commitment is to continue investing responsibly, because that way we can continue to improve the quality of life in the municipality and boost the economy. In this first quarter of 2022 alone, we have already injected nearly 3.4 million euros into small and medium-sized businesses, and our neighbors can see the projects underway on the street. As I always say, less siren songs of redeemers and more accomplishments," concluded the mayor.
