The political group has indicated that the local government is responding to its "poor management" by increasing the vehicle tax for residents, aiming to cover an accumulated debt of 441,000 euros. This situation has been described as a "technical bankruptcy" and a "fiscal punishment" for the town's inhabitants.
Following an extraordinary plenary session held on the 6th, the spokesperson for the municipal opposition group lamented that the only solution proposed by the local government for what they consider its "incompetence" is to "further tighten the belts of Rubite residents." During the session, new economic measures were agreed upon for the coming year to address the aforementioned debt, which stems from the non-payment of IRPF and Social Security contributions for municipal workers themselves.
“"It is unacceptable that residents have to pay more taxes to cover the holes created by negligent management. Families are being asked to make an extra effort to pay for the broken dishes of rulers who do not fulfill their basic obligations."
As a result of this debt, citizens will see the municipal vehicle tax increase from 1.2% to 1.5%. The opposition spokesperson has also revealed the seriousness of the financial situation, stating that the Treasury has already seized the income the Town Hall received from taxes managed by the Provincial Council, due to repeated non-compliance with the Ministry's Adjustment Plan.
The political group warns that this situation could worsen if the Town Hall does not strictly comply with the imposed measures, and has expressed concern about outstanding invoices to suppliers that have been dragging on since 2023. The opposition group is strongly against this increase in fiscal pressure, emphasizing its duty to inform residents about the "harsh reality" of the municipality.
