Finally, the socialist Francesc Sanguino lamented that the bipartisan has returned to «blaming the auditor, because that is like blaming the heat in August». For the spokesman for the municipal group, “if the process had been prepared in October, they would now be approved, as in other cities,” he added, recalling that his municipal group is still waiting for the Barcala executive to notify him the proposals included in the draft Budget from those formulated during the negotiation.
