Among the investments, plans for improvement in educational centers and rural roads are reflected, as well as the acquisition of land for the new Fire Station The General Budget of the City Council of Caravaca de la Cruz for the financial year 2020, which is discussed in the telematic plenary session on Wednesday, April 29, has been adapted and modified in recent weeks, with the aim of responding from the team of Government to the new defendants and social and economic needs that the coronavirus health crisis is causing among the neighbors. This has been explained by the First Deputy Mayor and Councilor for Economic Planning and Finance, José Carlos Gómez, who has expressed that "the latest events derived from COVID-19 have caused a profound rethinking of our economic policy for this legislature, making the accounts that we present have a marked social character and support for the economy and employment of the municipality ". "Within the competence and economic limitations of the local administration, the objective of this government team is to put all possible resources so that no person is left without having their basic needs covered," added the first deputy mayor. The mayor of the Treasury has explained that in the Income chapter, the accounts foresee a total of 24,286,702.06 euros, which represents an increase compared to 2019 of 556,558.40 euros.

"We have wanted to be cautious in this chapter, although the different measures put in place to improve collection have been taken into account, such as the agreement with the Tax Agency, the update of the population register and the cadastre or the incorporation of the General Administration to the Urban Planning area that will improve income levels, "he detailed. The statement of Expenses has been estimated at 24,257,542.29 euros.

In this sense, Gómez has reported that "although the initial draft of the municipal Budget reflected a surplus of 400,000 euros, the circumstances arising from the health crisis have led to the decision to reduce this surplus to 29,159.8 euros, with the rest earmarked, 328,000 euros, to measures of urgent need in favor of those most disadvantaged by this situation.

" This translates, for example, into the municipal contribution to the Northwest Community of Social Services, which increases by more than 50,000 euros, and by more than 20,000 in the home help service.

Likewise, the item intended to promote employment in companies affected by COVID-19 is 225,000 euros. INVESTMENTS AND ACTIONS In the section of investments, actions and improvement of services, the municipal accounts reflect the asphalting and improvement of rural roads; the renovation and improvement of the Municipal Pool; the opening of the La Almudema hostel to carry out youth exchange programs; an improvement plan in the educational centers of the municipality; the incorporation of eight new agents in the Local Police or the acquisition of land for the construction of the new Fire Station, among the most important. In addition, the accounts reflect a Green Zones Improvement Plan, the execution of the Recovery Plan for Historic Center Buildings, through the ARRU program; the new Tax Agency Office; the recovery of the Liquidation Office or the incorporation of a new economic allocation in the field of Animal Protection. In the Investments chapter there is a heading corresponding to the municipal part destined to projects destined to the recovery of the historical heritage presented by the City Council to the Ministry of Development within the Cultural 1.5%, such as the restoration of the hermitage of San Sebastián and from the esplanade of the Castle. "It is a fact that investments have suffered a significant decrease in favor of budget items that have a marked social character, because we consider that in the situation we are experiencing, it is a priority to put aid to our neighbors," argued Gómez, who has detailed that "for investments, which are necessary and important, alternative funds and means of financing will be sought." "Through this Budget, we have wanted to fulfill the firm commitment acquired with citizens, working to correct the serious economic imbalance suffered by our City Council and doing everything possible to improve the opportunities and living conditions of all our neighbors, with whose collaboration We will try to combat the effects of the crisis and produce the highest possible levels of social justice and personal and collective development, "he concluded.
