Initiative d'Esquerres considered "unfair" that municipalities have to repay money to the state.

Esquerres d'Initiative has considered "unfair" that municipalities have to repay money to the state after learning the data relating to the liquidation of state funding to the municipalities of the islands in 2008, which show a balance in favor of the Central Government more than 16 million euros.

The political education coordinator, David April, said in a statement it is "absurd and, mortal gold, unfair" the fact that in his view "would worsen the liquidity situation of many municipalities that, in addition, have already banned by the Government Jose Rodriguez Zapatero's ability to borrow. "

In this line, has qualified to the economy of the municipalities in general is "dramatic" as they "have to suffer the consequences of a historically underfunded." A situation that, as, fallen earth chips, in April, is exacerbated by the economic crisis that has retracted the financial input in the consistory, cutting the State budget in 2010, and prohibition of debt.

Therefore, Esquerres d'Initiative has considered "very negative" local governments "which are the least equipped and while the closest to citizens and their needs, they have to repay money which have not."

In the opinion of April,, fallen earth chips, "If Spain were a modern state, municipalities would manage at least one third of public budgets on an equal footing with the autonomous communities and the State Government."

In fact, continued, "32 years after the approval of the Constitution, which is not explained is that the central government, which increasingly has less powers, continues to reserve more than 50 percent of all public revenues. This is not an autonomous status, much less a federal state as advocated by the PSOE, is a centralist state, at least in economic and budget. "

April has invited the Minister of Development, Jose Blanco, and the rest of central government "to realize a once and for all tax increases that both speak of, so that actually the more money for public policies in favor of general interest to compensate for the situation in which municipalities are, for who else has to pay. "

In this sense, it specified that these 16 million euros, "which are vital for municipalities, represent only a small portion of the profits of any bank in the islands and the Spanish State" by what has Apostille "if have to establish new taxes, it is quite clear where this money can be drawn. "
