An MC initiative uncovers tens of thousands of euros without justification by the other municipal groups (05/09/2017)

In particular, various groups could have irregularly paid their headquarters expenses, highlighting the more than 100,000 euros allocated by the PP

Last May 2016, at the initiative of MC, it was agreed that the Municipal Plenary should control and supervise the aid to municipal groups in the current and previous legislature, that is, from May 2011 onwards.

The text of the motion had an impact on the "special importance of the work of the municipal groups", so it is necessary to "know the destination of these quantities, without the simple refusal of the group to publish them or the fact that the ultimate responsibility for the Court of Auditors should be an obstacle to this publicity. "

The content of the MC proposal contemplated that "the municipal legal and treasury services, and others that proceed, after verifying the files of justification of subsidies of the current and the previous legislature of all the municipal groups, issue opinion to submit to the Finance and Interior Committee, as soon as possible because of the heavy workload, as to whether any of these justifications fall within the prohibitions of article 73.3 of the Law on the Bases of Local Regime, and other circumstances that may be of interest, and the actions to start in this case ".

At the Plenary of February 2017, at the proposal of the mayor, José López (MC), a series of norms were approved to regulate the allocations to municipal political groups and their justification and control by the Municipal Intervention, with special incidence in that they are used for the municipal group and not for party expenses, in accordance with the restrictions of article 73 of the Law of Local Regime, which establish the prohibition of assigning them to the acquisition of fixed assets or the hiring of personnel.

On June 27, MC received a request from the area of ​​Finance, which requested justification of part of the expenses of the previous legislature, which was immediately attended by our municipal group, requesting a letter of payment for the amount of EUR 359.42, which was not sufficiently justified.

The deputy spokesman of the municipal group MC, Francisco Calderón, has highlighted that "the MC gap is 300 euros, but we have not hesitated to reintegrate it into the public coffers because it is important for us to comply with legality. rest of municipal groups act in the same way, because in the other three cases we speak of tens of thousands of euros, it has even been discovered that the PP could have acquired its headquarters with public money between 2011 and 2015 with more than 100,000 € " .

Calderón said that "once again, MC is at the forefront of transparency in the management of public resources, we have managed to control the expenses of municipal groups, to set specific rules for their destination and to require the justification, and we have done it expeditiously, offering the return of the amounts whose justification has been questioned.

"From our responsibility we will work so that the rest of groups reintegrate this money into the municipal coffers, proving once again that we are not equal, there are those who defend citizens and the good use of public money and who benefits from it," has concluded Francisco Calderón.
