The level of execution of the Cabildo Budget for this year did not even reach 30% after the middle of the year. ensures it Canarian Coalition (CC), whose spokesman, Carlos Alonso, points out that the report from the Treasury area reflects the “alarming” data, since of the 971 million euros budgeted by the Island Corporation “only 291 had been executed until July 31” . In his opinion, “it is intolerable that the money is not spent due to the lack of management by Pedro Martín and the PSOE.”
Alonso warns that “The level of investment was low in 2021, but it has worsened by almost two points.” Of the 291 million euros provided for in this chapter, “only 39 million (13.5%) have been executed, while last year, on the same date, the execution was 15.7%. We are getting worse and people are noticing it.”
In his review of the economic management of the island government, the nationalist spokesman requests “greater intensity”, above all “to speed up investments on the island that boost the economy and generate job quality”. Alonso states that the Cabildo has the same officials as a few years ago, but there are more staff. “The difference is in the political management, which is in the hands of an absent president, more concerned with the issues of his party than the Cabildo,” he says.
Unacceptable is the term with which he assesses that Acción Social “I have barely spent 2.9% of the investment budget. There are 21 million euros and they have only executed 621,000 ». It affirms that the investment in Employment, Socioeconomic Development and Foreign Action reaches “0.04% of the 8.7 million euros”, while in Sustainable Development and the Fight against climate change “they have only invested 246,000 euros out of 17.8 millions”.
Alonso recalls that in the last two years, «the PSOE stopped executing 340 million euros of the budget. That is the reality and it is palpable that Tenerife has been falling behind in the execution of island projects. We urgently need a change and for the Cabildo to once again be the engine economy of the Island.
