The president of the PP in Totana, Isabelle Nau, has demanded the Government of the Nation "address and clearly and forcefully the joint reform of regional and local funding to the serious situation faced by the municipalities" and asked to "meet its historical debt to the town of Totana, which now amounts to 25 million euros. "

"
Nau reported that "the situation is exacerbated by the decline in resources that the State intended to municipalities for the first time in 30 years" and called for a stable funding framework to allow councils meet current expenditures derived from services they provide to their citizens.
Criticized the government of the nation try to tame the future model to the demands of the communities of the same political orientation, based on the performance of its new Constitution and called for a funding scheme supported by inter-regional solidarity and equality.
He recalled that "the negotiation of local funding is stagnant and, apparently, the socialist government does not seem concerned about the structural problem suffered by Spanish municipalities, which have fewer resources with nearly 30 years ago."

He reiterated that the local funding to be tackled in parallel with regional funding and demanded to be heard by local and no longer amuse the public with more issues that are of no interest to anyone providing solutions to problems that are nearest neighbors .
