| (Not everything is going to be bad) | The accounting closing of the year is always complicated and this year, more because of the circumstances.
But the Intervention and Treasury Departments work piecemeal to avoid accumulation of payments and control of settlements. In these last weeks we have received sentences from past conflicts, such as the Agreement of the Strip of the Canvas (Sports City) that condemns the People to pay more than 3 million euros plus interest that is a peak. Or UBASER that claims more than 600,000 euros of interest from the people, of the 6 million that we had to pay them less than a month ago for another sentence beginning in 2012. Or the 1,900,000 euros that "they gave to the General" (with negative reports from the Ministry of Finance, pending application until the last plenary session. Whoever thinks that refloating the economy is not complicated and it is necessary to resume the free feasts that some long for, can get an idea of ??the years that this town will endure the mud of "those powders", parties, feasts and uncontrolled expenses. But not everything is negative and with modesty, less bad news also arrives.
Last Friday, we received from the Ministry of Finance the positive difference of the last liquidation in the Participation of State Taxes that amounts to 275,915.73 euros and comes very well to municipal coffers as liquidity for budget 2021. Another "brilliant management".
A grant of more than 225,000 from the Autonomous Community dating from 2006 that was not justified and financed the works of a Multipurpose Center. As it was not justified at the time (those rulers had more important things to think about), we had to replace it in the Regional Treasury Coffers before December 31 and for that we had prepared the amount. After negotiations with the Council, the General Director of Local Administration, Francisco Abril, called me on Friday and told me that we could request a postponement of those 225,000 euros.
To pay in 10 years without interest.
The first three, of grace period and the remaining seven years, in equal installments without interest. It is not much compared to the total debt that with the judgments and interest claims of that time continues to grow.
But they are positive data that allow us some respite in the times we live in. Juan Jose C novas.
