The municipal group Citizens Centrists proposed in plenary on Thursday August 2 that the removal of the extra holiday for all officials charged thousand euros or more runs in a reduction of 50% and affects only those with a salary twice the minimum wage, about 1250 euros a month.
"I recognize that even this partial cut is entirely to our liking, for the damage to families of public employees can do and for the loss that may mean for small businesses, but at this point trying to save at least the minimum indispensable. In practice carried the royal decree of the government on trade damage would be devastating and more at Christmas time, the attack and similar demagogic officials, but also can bring disastrous consequences for public coffers, because there will be less revenue from VAT and less as income tax because one end of the year avecinaría much less hiring stationary "Gimenez Vergara argues, adding that" before proposing nonsense against the stimulus of consumption, which is the only tool that can be drawn from the crisis, be exhausted other avenues. Only cuts will not get to meet the deficit targets. "
The spokesman centrist believes that "those who govern have the obligation to be exemplary and start the cuts themselves, and say cuts and charitable donations as some would sign up, because nobody has given an opportunity for employees to donate their pay to this or that charity, and it almost insulting that corporations want to impersonate the most good in the world as simply stigmatize others because they claim what was theirs, so we will ask to delete the councilors' pay that charge and thicken to the credit of the municipality, targeting then, as public money, investment and social purposes. "
Moreover Vergara complaint that the removal of 30% of councilors will not save anything "because we always do on the opposition, mainly affecting to 6,800 villages under 5,000 inhabitants (Spain has a total of 8,116 municipalities) and means, in fact, the consecration of bipartisanship, something very undemocratic and no plural. What you need to do is to objectify and rationalize the pay of many politicians and advisers, representatives take no cheap or free and suppress the Provincial Councils as direct election by the parties makes the creak most basic democratic system.
