The City Council incorporates other less complex ones that can be tendered and executed before 2023

The Plenary approved yesterday to alter the initial list of investments in charge of the 2021 surplus, postpone the execution of several projects and include new ones. In total, 2.1 million change destinations. That money is released because the works that were going to be financed cannot be finished before the end of the year.

In exchange, the Consistory incorporates other smaller ones that can be assumed in the remaining five months of the budget year.

Specifically, the work to improve the López de Ayala Park, which had 752,000 euros, the rear area of ​​the Zona Sur neighborhood (867,500 euros) and tree pits in the street trees (556,000 euros) are postponed.

Delegate Carmen Yáñez clarified that due to the volume involved, they will no longer have time to bid and execute. And they put shorter ones in their place to be able to use that part of the surplus that was generated in the 2021 financial year.

They have decided to include the reforms of the children’s areas in Nueva Ciudad, Plantonal de Vera and San Andrés; as well as the healthy park in San Lázaro and Las Abadías, the reform of the Plaza de Santo Ángel in San Bartolomé, facing the 2% increase for municipal personnel and undertaking the part that corresponds to the construction of the City of Childhood in the land of the old Hernán Cortes barracks, for which the consistory will contribute 1,100,000 euros.

There is also an item of 576,000 euros to amortize debt and payment to suppliers.

This credit modification has not had the support of the PP, United for Mérida and VOX, and the abstention of Citizens.

From the popular ranks, her spokesperson, Pilar Nogales, defended that this type of issue in which several projects are included within the same credit file should be done individually “because we can agree on some and not on others and when voting all together we do not agree on the way to process these files”, for which they have voted against.

The spokesman for United for Extremadura, Álvaro Vázquez, argued that his group voted against this credit modification as an amendment they have proposed did not go ahead so that the 576,000 euros to pay debt be used for the purchase of homes by the city council for cases of people in a situation of social emergency.

The VOX spokesman, Ángel Pelayo, pointed out that this credit modification is an “improvisation exercise” by the local government to “remove from here to put it there”, and has criticized the fact that they are not going to be executed this year. those three important projects.

The abstention on this point has come from Ciudadanos, whose spokesman, Andrés Alberto Humanez, has argued that it is about balancing figures by the government team.
