| What could be done in this town with 12,713,038.01 euros ?, asks Juan José Cánovas, mayor of Totana | Last Friday, after the Video-Meeting of Mayors with the President and the Minister of Health, he had an appointment in Murcia, at 1:00 pm, next to CENTRO FAMA, on José Tapia Sanz street.It was about signing an ICO loan with the Entity Bacanria UNICAJA for a value of 12,713,038.01 euros in the Framework of Management Funds that we have been receiving since September 2015, when the Plenary approved the Adjustment Plan, after rejecting twice, in the same plenary session, with the votes against PSOE and PP.Why with UNICAJA?The Ministry of Finance, through the ICO, orders the Bank to sign and grant each loan.
If days ago I signed it with CAIXABANK (lesser amount), this time it was UNICAJA's turn.What are the conditions of the Loan?This loan is like a line of credit (Policy) with a maximum of 12,731,038.01 euros to meet payments that the City Council cannot pay with its resources due to its serious economic situation.Interest will be calculated at the time of disposal during the year 2020 and the payment term is 10 years, the first 2 of grace in which only interest is paid.What is the money going to be used for?The disposition of the 12,731,038.01 euros will be based on Firm Sentences to which the City Council is sentenced to pay capital, costs and default interest.
When they are firm, the City Council would dispose of the amounts and the ICO, through UNICAJA in this case, would pay the amounts to the creditors.
If there are no firm judgments in 2020, that money or part will not be available.What are the sentences of?Basically, the litigation with the company URBASER to which the liquidation was not paid in 2012, the Urban Planning Agreement of the TIra del Lienzo, in 2006) and other minor judgments but of the same tenor: Millions that the City Council collected and spent in those years and now it does not have the resources to pay those debts that Justice recognizes and condemns the people through the City Council.Imagine what we could do now with those 12,731,038.01 euros if they had not been spent at the time like other tens of millions that we have paid and still remain.
"Asphalting all rural roads and streets, improving water and sanitation networks, expanding the cemetery, expanding the Industrial Estate, reactivating the economy affected by COVID-19 ..".
This, to give some examples.I arrive at the UNICAJA office and the same director comes out to meet me.
I don't know if because of the folder I carry or because he knows me through the networks or the media.
The same has seen me in Antena 3 or the Sixth.Director.- "Good morning, Mayor; you come in advance but I was waiting for you and I see that you have all the documentation prepared ..."Mayor.- "Yes, I have left the Town Hall car (Clio) next to the Veronica Market and came walking, Plaza de las Flores, Gran Vía, Allfonso X (El Tontodromo) and here.
Less than 10 minutes and a pleasure to walk by Murcia.
I bring everything prepared because in the Town Hall we are lucky to have a very efficient Financial Controller and Team ...
"Director.- "I am a car, but I understand that walking is healthy and in these times we must get psyched to make way for people, above vehicles ..."Mayor.- "I think so.
But it is difficult to change the customs of wanting to go with the car to inside the offices.
Much more in towns or cities like Totana and Murcia, that the distances are very short and flat ..."Director.- "I have seen your information on the municipal website of the City Council, your Declaration of Interests, the payroll of you and the councilors of the Government ...
it is a total transparency to publicize all those details publicly ..."Mayor.- "Yes, we try to get the people to know the details and try not to go back, despite this crisis that affects us in all fields.
Health, Economic and Social ..."Director.- "I have also seen his salary and it seems to me very moderate for a town of the inhabitants of Totana and the dedication to the position or the responsibility before so much problem and high debt ..."Mayor.- "My payroll is similar to what I perceived in my work.
I understand that politics is tough, but we must set an example.
All employees (who are lucky enough to have a job) are having a hard time and I do not understand politics or public offices as privileges over the population ...
"After signing, I walk back to the Plano de San Francisco, thinking about what we could do with that money (12,713,038.01 euros) to improve the services, infrastructure or economy of Totana.
Before my head ached, I was already at the Veronica Market.Good morning and good Sunday, the eve of our Festival as a Region.
Also at the gates of Phase III.Juan José Cánovas, Mayor of Totana
